Jan Hooks Gets an 'SNL' Emotional Tribute - Watch Now

The cast and crew of Saturday Night Live paid tribute to the late Jan Hooks this weekend by showing one of her most memorable scenes.

Back during the show’s 14th season, the sketch was a departure from the normal comedic fare you see on the program and we haven’t really seen anything like it since. The clip also stars Phil Hartman and it was replayed following his death in 1998 as well.

Jan died last week from an undisclosed illness at the age of 57. Watch the clip below to remember how great she was on the show and help the memory of her live on.
