Linda Richman’s (Mike Myers) hero was Barbra Streisand. She
constantly “dedicated” the show to her, often claiming her to be the
greatest actress in all of history. In what could be considered to be
the sketch’s most memorable moment, Myers was joined by two special
guests Madonna and Roseanne Barr as two other Jewish women (and they
were authentic, take my word!). They discussed Streisand’s movie, The
Prince of Tides, on the show. Near the end of the sketch, the women
compared Barbra to “buttah”-and suddenly, a voice announced, “All this
talk about food, I’m getting hungry, girls.” It was Streisand herself in
a surprise appearance; none of the actors had any idea that she was to
appear. All three managed to remain in character as the audience went
wild. Though Streisand only stayed long enough to give each character a
kiss and wave to the audience, the moment has become one of the most
memorable in the show’s history.

SNLs Coffee Talk
All three clips are priceless! The ever-fumbling George Costanza screws up another opportunity to get laid; Jerry Seinfeld’s teacher of history to clueless, shamelessly opportunistic students is crushed into defeatism by the utter (but hilarious) lack of intellect in his class; and the always hip Mike Meyers rolls with the punches without missing a beat. Marvelous stuff from Saturday Night Live and Seinfeld.
Thanks for giving this to us.
