We lost Phil Hartman years ago, and we just lost Jan Hooks. This poignant video, 'Love is a Dream,' seems very appropriate now. It really shows the breadth of their talents.
Tonight on SNL they took a few minutes to remember Jan Hooks. They played the Love is a Dream clip in it entirety. One of the funnier sketches she did was Brenda the Waitress. Alec Baldwin was the guest host. I'll try to find it and post it.
Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope
'British Schindler' Honoured By Czechs
Sir Nicholas Winton was presented with the Order of the White Lion by Czech President Milos Zerman at a ceremony in the capital, Prague.
The 105-year-old, who has been dubbed the "British Schindler," helped 669 children, mainly from Jewish families, escape Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia in 1939.
Sir Nicholas kept his efforts secret until 1988 when his wife, Grete, came across an old scrapbook detailing the evacuations and persuaded him to have his story officially documented.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."

Yes, they do exist. Glad to see this modest man finally honoured for his selfless, courageous and heroic work. -{

The thing I find very humbling about the man, is he kept quiet
About it and only his wife came across some old papers. We might
never have heard of his fantastic work ! -{

Yes, that was very much the old way - not to boast of heroic achievements. It's rather Biblical and very honourable too of course but I'm equally glad that his story has been told.

We could certainly use more people like this in the world. -{

What a magnificent story! So heartbreaking, yet immensely inspiring. Such a giant of a man. Such a once-in-a-lifetime talent. He will be so missed. -{

I heard this very sad news today, she was very brave to the end,
