Funny Ladies of Film

On April 1, Movie Addict Headquarters salutes the following funny ladies of film: Tina Fey, Cloris Leachman, Madeline Kahn, Debbie Reynolds and Gilda Radner. Comedian Nancy Lombardo, host of Comedy Concepts on BlogTalkRadio, plans to join in the festivities. This fun episode includes: testimonials for Tina Fey; Cloris Leachman’s comedy ambush; Debbie Reynold’s humorous comments about men; Madeline Kahn’s terrific interview by George Bettinger; Gilda Radner’s famous tap audition; and some amusing surprises!

Nancy Lombardo appears frequently on “Saturday Night Live” and has released a very funny CD titled “Color Me Crazy.” She also performs her hilarious standup comedy act at numerous venues and is the host and creator of MOMEDY™, part of the International Mamapalooza Festival held every May in New York City.  She’s been featured as a writer and performer on radio, network and cable television, including Comedy Tonight, Nickelodeon and the Comedy Channel. As the leading member of the award-winning comedy troupe The First Amendment, Nancy performed with such stars as Robin Williams and Bruce Willis. She also served as a comedy consultant to John Leguizamo's Off-Broadway hit Mambo Mouth and wrote additional material for his HBO Special, The Talent Pool.  It’s no surprise that Nancy was named a winner of the Toyota Comedy Festival’s "Laughter in Motion” Award and received a Cable Arts Insight Comedy Award.

Remembering Gilda Radner

Gilda Radner is one of my all-time favorite funny ladies, so it was a pleasure to host Gilda Radner Remembered on BlogTalkRadio yesterday. Guests joining in this special tribute included: Lily Safani, CEO of Gilda's Club in New York City; comedian Nancy Lombardo from Comedy Concepts; and film critic A.J. Hakari, also known as The Mad Movie Man. Lily shared important information about how the Gilda's Club supports people suffering from cancer -- and also talked about "The Gildies, a benefit program taking place in New York on Thursday. Nancy, who's been on Saturday Night Live herself, made us laugh with her imitation of Emily Litella, one of Gilda's famous characters, as well as her comments about Gilda's extraordinary talent. A.J. gave his opinion Haunted Honeymoon, one of Gilda's films, and I reviewed First Family, Hanky Panky and The Woman in Red, three other movies Gilda appeared in. This turned out to be one of my all-time favorite shows! Listen to the archived segment at www.blogtalkradio.com/movieaddictheadquarters.
