<div>When I wrote below that it was "hard to believe" that the Gilda Radner performance of "Rosana Rosana Dana" was "twenty years ago," this was more true than I intended, because the performance on YouTube referenced was from <br>

<div>Radner was one of the great comic geniuses of the 20th century, ranked up with <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000840/" target="_blank"><font color="#003399">Lucille Ball</font></a> and other comedy legends of the highest caliber.</div>

<div> </div>
<div>Lucille Ball, another very popular comedienne... Then there's incredible Carol Burnett, who comedienne Stephanie Miller wanted to emulate when she was a child.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"Rosana Rosana Dana" was a popular character done by Gilda Radner often on "Saturday Night Live," as a member of the original cast. Hard to believe this was twenty years ago... </div>
