‘SNL’ Pays Tribute To Susan Saint James With Title Card

Saturday Night Live honoured Susan Saint James with an on-screen title card before the goodnights, recognising her longstanding connection to the programme. The tribute followed the actress’s death at 80 from pancreatic cancer on 26 October.

Saint James first hosted SNL in 1981, when she met executive producer Dick Ebersol; they married that year, and she hosted again in 1983. She also appeared in episodes and specials over the years. Her family remembered her generosity and care for others; she is survived by Ebersol, four children and seven grandchildren.
