No problem. I was wondering about Loraine Newman's lack of visibility, but I did some looking.
Yeah, I was already legally an adult when SNL debuted. Saw the first episode even. I think that lead to the disappearance of the Candygram. Long time SNL viewers will get that.

Gilda Radner did several films, some with her husband, Gene Wilder. Sadly, she passed away in 1989.
Jane Curtain was a cast member of the shows Kate And Allie and later Third Rock From The Sun.
Loraine Newman had small, supporting roles in a number of movies through the 90s, including playing the aunt of Connie Conehead in The Coneheads. About that time, she started finding work as a voice actor, but as far as appearing in front of the camera, like her other post-SNL work, was always minor characters. She also does writing.

She played the live interest for John Lithgow's character.

Sorry, Otto Kerr-Reckt was drunk last night. He slipped that in when I wasn't looking.

And, lest we forget, God created the Irish so that the Germans couldn't take over the world, then he created whiskey so the Irish couldn't take over the world.
Edit: corrected Otto Kerr-Reckt's fuck up.

TV news is very concise. They give you a brief rundown. But if you want more detail, you have to hit the newsppers
Forgot about that one. Need to check, it may have been the one up the road from where I grew up.

I grew up around them in this area. Great people and extremely honest in their own way.

Yes. Some livestock died in their little Funtime. They are also facing charges in two other counties.

For kicks. IIRC, drugs and alcohol were involved. They're lucky that they weren't charged with a hate crime. The barns they targeted were owned by Amish and Mennonite farmers.
This is local news and when I first heard about it, I started digging deeper. This was right after he was found guilty, about a week or two ago.
Meanwhile, they thought it was a real hoot.

Ah, but the rarity of this ring is that it is GOLD.
This was at a time when gold was, well, worth it's weight in gold. The only ones that could afford a gold ring were those of wealth: nobility, royalty, high ranking church and military members, and, of course, rich merchants. Wedding rings of that era were often made iof Iron so they wouldn't be destroyed when the lady of the house cleaned, cooked and did other various chores around the place.
