NEW YORK -- Since the 1970s, Jane Curtin has been one of comedy s leading ladies. Her groundbreaking work as an original cast member on Saturday Night Live earned her the nickname The Queen of Deadpan.
Curtin discussed her time on the iconic show on CBS This Morning Friday, saying it is the talent the likes of Billy Crystal, Gilda Radner, Jan Hooks, Bill Murray and many others that made the show great, as well as the lack of a form.
Curtin said, It didn t really have a plan when it first started out, so it was allowed to evolve into something and it s involved into this thing that has lasted.
CBS This Morning co-host Charlie Rose added, And then there s Lorne.
Referring to the show s creator and executive producer, Lorne Michaels, Curtin said, And then there s Lorne, the man at the top, who despite himself has a huge hit on his hands.
