The real Olga Korbut shared this on social media. She's not only a wonderful gymnast, but also has a great sense of humour 😁

[@peterbooth1525]

Gilda was absolutely adorable. Tough too. The skit were Belushi was a director and kept roughing her up. We miss you Gilda RIP.

[@carolwalters6586]

SNL characters and the writers of this era have never been equaled in cleverness. No matter where we were and no matter how much fun or great food and company we were enjoying, we hurried home to watch SNL.

[@Gothiczartan]

We miss you John and Gilda. We'll never forget you both and rest of the late former SNL Chris, Phil and Jan.

[@daultonalford5438]

Gilda radner was a legend!

[@moonglow1311]

John Belushi, Gilda Radnar and Chevy Chase 3 from the original SNL, 3 of the best on the show!!!!

[@freddyrichards878]

R.I.P John, Gilda, and Chevy's career

[@frankholt4325]

I remember watching SNL every week back in the 70s

[@ladoctorasue]

Me too! It isn’t even funny now, to those of us who remember the old days.

[@user-qk9yq2uv7o]

This is the picture I have in mind of Gilda and John together, it gives me a smile and sadness at once. The best SNL couple ever.

[@lego4271]

Gilda and Bill were better together

[@reenougle]

Gilda was one of the funniest comedians on the planet. She is definitely one of those people I would have over to my fantasy dinner party, along with Peter Ustinov, and other people who are no longer here. She seemed like such a fun person....

[@tommoore8726]

They had natural comedic timing. The didn't over act either. Today's comics appear to try to hard being fast and loud. Belushi, Gilda etc...understood the value of less is more. The writers got that as well,

[@chippysteve4524]

Tru dat! Subtlety is everything.

[@dickhitswater4836]

It’s why father guido Sarducci is so hilarious. It’s just comedic timing and not acting like it’s funny. It sells so well

[@anneweir933]

Classic. RIP John & Gilda. ☹️💔

[@douglasworley8422]

I love Gilda!!!!!!!!

[@kathleenmckeithen118]

I just love watching these and reliving the hilarity. Thank you!!!

[@lindacosta3381]

Gilda was the best:)

[@RIXRADvidz]

I love the Gibberish Russian. nyichky nyichky

[@josephlawson9950]

rest in peace john belushi and gilda radner they died too soon

[@mayflower7811]

John and Gilda are my favorite cast members from the 70s

[@TheChef470]

Two giants that are soooooooooo missed : (

[@Vejur9000]

That looks on Gilda’s face. Everything she did was funny.

[@ItsHip2bSquare2]

Nitschke Nitschke 😆

[@johnperrigo6474]

OMG! I had forgotten this. Hilarious! Gilda, you were one of a kind! John was great too. I love that he played himself as a Russian.

[@daveallman3981]

Never seen this b4. Wickedly funny. RIP Gilda and John.

[@lastcall170]

Legends never die

[@kbitchkal8765]

Stick it on her eye 😂😂😂😂

[@noname-JS]

ICONIC

[@hectorlopez1069]

Gilda radner was married to willy wonka. She died in 1989. She was good.

[@CAPTAIN_D-MAN]

00:45 sounds like they're speaking Latka's language.

[@gravemaster8747]

I love Taxi

[@mdgraystone]

When SNL was true comedy show with real, great comedians.

[@leftykoufax7084]

Wonderful stuff.

[@jessetuttle5622]

Old SNL was good,

[@johnperrigo6474]

their creativity was off the charts. Now, not so much. They just parody everything.

[@lexmhll209]

I miss John. :(

[@kbitchkal8765]

His legs are more split than my ends 😂

[@VoteTrumpagain]

My manager looks exactly like her and has her laugh it's pretty darn scary 😲😲

[@RossM3838]

a reminder that snl was once actually funny.

[@zabadazidit]

+1000 - now they're a bunch of anti-American haters.

[@generalyellor8188]

How you're so cool in your dismissiveness.

[@mchevre]

@@zabadazidit Nope. SNL has always featured political satire and has always leaned liberal. It's just you that's become a cantankerous right-winger that can no longer appreciate good political satire.

[@bretstanley8931]

I'm surprised they didn't call him "John Belushki"!!

[@JosephStock7241]

Lol like blushing blossoms

[@Nicecatholicgirl]

Gilda did look like Olga.

[@wmbrown6]

The only "WU" edition where "Battery of Teletype Receivers" (from Major Records' SFX library) was used.

[@notwaiting9239]

Make SNL great again!

[@kjamison5951]

Chevy just ducked his head near the end and he looked a little like Andy Samberg. The long face and the slightly wild hair.

[@DEADLOK69]

BELUSHI LIVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@soyboy101]

PIERCE BABY.

[@code-52]

If they only knew then what we know now. LOL.

[@green4est]

What did she say?...Нитьки Титьки ?))) Yellow Blue Bus, Old SNL!

[@joeyramirez6355]

Careful, Chevy.

[@garygiampa4175]

hi very funny

[@bb6887]

Back when it was funny

[@jasonb2702]

Michael Douglas brought me here.%

[@monicaflores2545]

Haha...still funny

[@hanshart314]

We used to go home on Saturday night to watch. Now I dont even want to have that channel on for more than one second. Enough time to switch.

[@GooglSucksDisk]

Hi.

[@davesuiter]

Too bad SNL is no longer funny.

[@rikspring]

Lmao 😂😂

[@paulsolon6229]

Belushi in fact many times undermined the female comics of Saturday night live. Sad but true
But not here in this skit

[@cuibono5092]

let's go branden

[@brucemacneil]

Chevy Chase had too many lines.

[@mikesilva3868]

😅

[@danielrodriguez248]

They were funny, the crap they have now and for the last 25years is stupid

[@mathewgmarsac5648]

This was when SNL was funny

[@Iskandar613]

SNL sucked even tnen

[@bduke8380]

This show sux

[@bobthebear1246]
