The stuff about SNL is irrelevant to her as a creator, and reads like a disgruntled fan's personal comments about the show, using the fact that the page is about someone who just happened to work on the show as an excuse to shoehorn them in.


Though more well-known for her theater and Broadway work, there was a time (during the early 1980s) when Christine Ebersole slummed it by becoming a ''Saturday Night Live'' cast member (around the time when Jean Doumanian and the majority of her cast were fired and Dick Ebersol[[note]]despite the similar-sounding last names, Christine Ebersole is not related to Dick Ebersol[[/note]] was hired to try and salvage the show[[note]]which [[AndYouThoughtItWouldFail a lot of people thought would be impossible to do]][[/note]] with Jean Doumanian's only rising stars -- Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo -- and some up-and-comers Ebersol hired during the last episode of season six to fill the void left behind by Doumanian's cast). Sadly, Ebersole produced no recurring characters, sketches, or catchphrases during her one season on the show[[note]]though she did have ten celebrity impressions: Princess Di, Cheryl Tiegs, Barbara Mandrell, Britt Ekland, Carol Wayne, Fannie Flagg, Lucy Rutherford, Rona Barnett, Mary Travers, and Marge Howard[[/note]], and her actual SNL appearances – particularly when she was in her musical number element (as seen with the sketch "Last Night I Killed My Husband"[[note]]a one-shot sketch where Christine plays a woman singing about how she stabbed her {{jerkass}} husband for beating and neglecting her[[/note]] on the Halloween 1981 episode hosted by Creator/DonaldPleasence) — have since been largely forgotten, overshadowed by Eddie Murphy, Joe Piscopo, and then-newcomers Robin Duke (though Robin Duke was more sidelined by Murphy and Piscopo than Ebersole was, especially later when Creator/JuliaLouisDreyfus was cast), and Mary Gross.
