Live from New York!
As “Saturday Night Live” gears up for its 50th anniversary special, several alumni shared wild tales about their time on the iconic sketch comedy show, including comedian Laraine Newman, 72, who revealed she got on one EGOT winner’s bad side.(snip)
While starring on “SNL” between 1975 and 1980, Newman played Streisand, in which she mocked her ego and salary in a sketch.
“[SNL writer] Marilyn Miller wrote this incredible song called ‘Me,’ and the lyrics are great: ‘Even if one of my films sucks, it still makes 4 million bucks for me,'” the comedian recalled.
Newman and Streisand happened to be at the same event when the “A Star is Born” actress, 82, approached her.
“And she hadn’t seen it. I was at my friend’s son’s bar mitzvah, and she was singing at it. And she says, ‘I wanna talk to you,'” she said.
Newman told Cohen she failed to stick around to see what the “Funny Girl” star wanted.
“I left,” she shared on the late-night show. “I didn’t wanna talk to her.”

Babs should have stuck to 8mm stag films.
Yes, she is that insufferable and arrogant.
She looks good for a woman that survived that Coke addled 70’s cast.
good for her to ignore streisand..
Very.
Streisand aged as gracefully as Hillary Clinton, and lives as graciously as Hillary too.
LOLOL!! Perfect...
That was the episode that made me a South Park fan.
that’d do it...
She has the loveliest blew eyes... one blew this way, the other blew that way
I HATE her movies... she’s in EVERY scene
You make money impersonating, off of, another’s work and you wont hear her out?
Bab’s sings at barmitzvah’s??
Yea, I get the pope to say the blessing at my sunday noon meal with the kids.
No. My pope laughs at me for being Catholic.

She should apologize to the World for Yentel.
