In 1979, Gilda Radner threw a summer-long party at Broadway’s Winter Garden Theatre. Share the fun as Gilda’s Saturday Night Live alter-egos take on new comedy material not even the Not Ready for Prime Time Players were quite ready for. Among the many highlights: Emily Litella substituting for a Bedford-Stuyvesant teacher who’s been the unfortunate victim of a “stubbing”. Lisa Hoopner whining through “The Way We Were”. Roseanne Roseannadanna grossing out grads at the Columbia School of Journalism. And joining in for even more hip happiness are several of Gilda’s SNL cohorts. Paul Schaffer (Late Night with David Letterman) plays straight man and plays up a musical storm. Father Guido Sarducci (Don Novello), rock critic and gossip columnist for the Vatican’s L’Osservatore Romano, reveals the astonishing “Kennedy/Lincoln Coincidenza” and poses a new model for higher education: the five-minute university.maurers

@dduble07 – “Auld Lang Syne” is the song you’re asking about…that’s the one everyone sings at graduations and at midnight on New Years Eve.
“Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne?”
Hope that helps.

After seeing a lot of students’ videos to improve my English, I decided to write a song for the Columbia students. Just click on the link and see it. I’m Jailton Carneiro from Brazil. The song is on youtube, too.
