'SNL' Star Says This 'Crazy' Mixup With Show Icon Made Her Sob 'Hysterically'

Sarah Sherman said she felt like a "spirit" was talking to her after she received a "giant envelope" in the mail.

“Saturday Night Live” cast member Sarah Sherman has revealed that several of her residual checks from the show were sent to the estate of late “SNL” icon Gilda Radner, the first performer to be hired when the show began in 1975.

“I started, like, hysterically sobbing, obviously,” Sherman told Vulture senior editor Jesse David Fox on a recent episode of the “Good One” podcast.

Sherman, who began as a featured player on the show’s 47th season, said she got a “giant envelope” in the mail along with a handwritten letter from Radner’s brother explaining the “weird” occurrence and complimenting her “great” performance on “SNL.”

“I’m like, ‘OK, God’s speaking to me right now,’” Sherman recalled.

The comedian — known for her surreal comedy — said the mailing caused her to text the man who brought Radner onto the show’s first season: “SNL” creator Lorne Michaels.
