Jan Hooks Has Died

Jan Hooks, an actress whose flair for comedy and ability to inhabit a character was showcased during her five years on “Saturday Night Live,” died on Thursday. She was 57. I hope she had a party in heaven last night with Phil Hartman.

    I remember watching her on an old Atlanta TV station show (TBS?) with a guy named Bill Tush - as I recall it was kind of like SNL only based in Atlanta. She was funny as hell on that - and she was great on SNL and 3rd Rock. I can't find anything about a family though - was she married? Relationship? She'll be missed.

      Agreed. But I don't think we are supposed to say that.

    Loved her on SNL. Sadly, she was poorly miscast (and her character just was not well written) on "Designing Women"

    Rest in peace. I too picture her with Phil. I think she had cancer, probably myleoma.

    So very sad and too young to go. She was a wonderfully talented comedienne. Her and Phil Hartman were my favourite SNL members. A perfect pair. I guess they're once again having a laugh together. Goodbye Jan.

    She was a talented character acttor as well. Her work on Third Rock From the Sun was great.

    Susan B- thank you for mentioning Tush! I used to love that show- I'd watch when I was babysitting and when Jan Hooks started appearing on SNL, I remember looking forward to watching because I liked her on Tush. Also Bonnie and Terry Turner were writers/producers on it and they went on to do very well too.

    She was a stand out in that Cone Heads movie. The Other Woman (in her own mind!).

    Felt like a punch to the gut reading this yesterday. The Sweeney Sisters bit (with Nora Dunn) was among my favourites of her SNL characters. She was also hilarious on 30 Rock. And one of the greatest lines in all of film history: "There's no basement at the Alamo!"

    It's weird. I was thinking about her the other day & wondering why I hadn't seen her in much lately. I think the last thing I saw with her was "30 Rock." RIP

    The rumor at the time of Phil's death is that he was planning to leave his wife for Jan and that is why she killed him.
