I don't look like a comedian, do I? (starts talking rapidly like a strict school teacher) That's because I'm not, I'm a school teacher, and I'm going to need a lot of silence in this room if I'm going to talk.

(casually bites her pinky finger nail) Okay, okay, people...now...today we have a big volleyball game ahead of us, people, and as you know the principal is counting on us winning the cup.
She also appeared on another SNL episode in 1978. In 1979 she played "Mary Mary" on the ABC LESS
