It appears that the Jane Curtain character on the old SNL weekend update was modeled on Ms. Walters.
Barbra you ignorant slut!
I think Jane Curtin’s character was modeled on Shana Alexander of “Point Counterpoint.” Now who was the guy Dan Aykroyd was doing? I think it was James Kilpatrick, but I dont recall for sure.
The late, lamented Gilda Radner, of course, immortalized “Baba Wawa.”
