| What if the writers didnt come up with a monologue? |
| Gilda: Hi. I'm Gilda Radner and....(laughs embarresedly) Ok..now! (Raises her arms, audience claps wild.) Um, thankyou! Thanks! Uh, Tonite...(does a little 'its me!' smile) tonite we thought we'd start off with something a little different. Before the show, we handed out cards for the audience to write down questions, and I'm going to do the best I can to answer them off the top of my head. K? The first question is from KEvin Lieberman of Minniola, NY...and Kevin asks, uh, 'Do you ever have trouble coming up with an opening for the show?". Well...um, yes KEvin, coincidently we had a great deal of difficulty coming up with an idea for the show this very week! Uh....the next question is from Kevin Wood who asks..."In the event that you have difficulty coming up with an opening for the show, what would you do?". Well Kevin, whenever this happens, and this is the first time, we hand out cards to the audience so they can ask questions, and then I answer them off the top of my head. Ok..the next question is from Kevin Crack of Brooklyn, and Kevin asks, "Are these questions really written by us? The audience? Or are they written by the writers?". Kevin...I hope your not disapointed, but, the writers wrote these questions. Oh! And this is from someone who signs his name, "Just Kevin". Where are you sitting Kevin? Where are ya? (The whole audience stands up and cheers)Thankyou. Alrite...(shrugs laughing). And Kevin says, "Gilda, settle a bet, my wife Kevin says, uh (looks at the card funny) she says you always start the show with the words, "Give me all your hot monkey love." And I say she's wrong. Well Kevin...your wife Kevin IS wrong! No matter what the opening, how ill-concieved, how unprepared we are....we always start the show with......... Live, from New York, Its Saturday Night!!!!! |
