saturday night live

Fans of the legendary first seasons of \”Saturday Night Live\” remember Laraine Newman sashaying with Gilda Radner in the hilarious faux commercial for \”Jewess Jeans.\” They recall her Barbra Streisand impression and her angry beatnik character reciting bad poetry in nasal Brooklynese. But Newman, 50, will reveal one of her more serious roles when she\’s honored at Hillel at Pierce & Valley Colleges\’ Comedy Nite 2003 on Feb. 1: her involvement with the Jewish community. The granddaughter of an Arizona Jewish cattle rancher, Newman will describe how she grew up so assimilated that \”all my Jewish friends went to Hess Kramer but I was shlepped off to Camp Trinity.\”
