This excerpt comes from interviews conducted for a major profile of Gilda for the the Sunday “Rotogravure” Magazine of the Detroit Free Press, which was her hometown’s largest daily newspaper. The article also included interviews with legendary SNL Producer Lorne Michaels and fellow cast member Lorraine Newman.
Saturday Night Live was just starting out when Carl interviewed legendary comedienne Gilda Radner in March of 1976. It was only the 2nd season and these conversations took place in Studio 8-H in the NBC building in between and after rehearsals for that week’s show.  Gilda was happy to talk about working with the Not Ready For Prime Time Players, favorite hosts and her comedic influences like Lucille Ball and Gracie Allen she watched on television growing up in Detroit, Michigan.
