History Creator / RobinDuke

* ''Series/KingsOfKensington'' as Doris (1 episode)

Duke was one in a handful of ''SCTV'' cast members who crossed over to ''Saturday Night Live'', joining Creator/TonyRosato and, later, Creator/MartinShort ([[WhatCouldHaveBeen that list also would have included Harold Ramis, John Candy, and Catherine O'Hara, but all of them declined]]). Duke first appeared on ''Saturday Night Live'' after Jean Doumanian was fired and Dick Ebersol was hired to salvage the show (the last episode of season six, where there was no host[[note]]even though Chevy Chase, Al Franken, Christopher Reeve, and Robin Williams were brought in as guest stars[[/note]] and the musical guest was Junior Walker and the All-Stars), but wouldn't be an official cast member until the show returned for its seventh season (1981-1982 season).

Though Duke wasn't much of a stand-out during her tenure on the show (thanks to Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo being a SpotlightStealingSquad...and even when she, Creator/MaryGross, and Creator/JuliaLouisDreyfus became the show's newest female trio, Gross and Louis-Dreyfus got more airtime than Duke did), she did have her share of recurring characters and celebrity impressions. Her notable recurring characters include: Wendy Whiner (wife of Joe Piscopo's Doug Whiner), Mrs. T (a white, female version of Mr. T), Ike (a slovenly housewife with a male name), and Paulette Clooney (a hooker who is obsessed with Olivia Newton-John). Her notable celebrity impressions on both ''SNL'' and ''[=SCTV=]'' include Louise Mandrell, UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler's girlfriend Eva Braun, Creator/ShariLewis, Barbara Howar, and Shelley Winters.
