Liza to appear on SNL this weekend.

Posted: 1/9/09 at 3:03am

"POSTED JANUARY 8, 2009 on www.officialllizaminnelli.com:

* Liza just told me she'll be making a BRIEF appearance on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE this coming Saturday, January 10th, 2009 (11:30 PM - 1 AM, on NBC).

It's just a "walk-on" / walk-through / brief appearance as part of a joke -- GUESSING that it's similar to what Streisand did during the "Like Buttah" appearance in the early 1990s.

Astoundingly, this will be Liza's FIRST appearance on the legendary series. "

It isn't astounding. She has nothing in common with the style of SNL and never sang the kind of music featured on the show.

Additionally, the MAJORITY of the SNL audience would have little interest to no clue who she is.

I'm glad she's not singing. Even a brief appearance as brief as Streisand's could show off her considerable comedic talents, but her singing style would look hopelessly retro (and not in a cool way) on that show, like it did on Rosie's holiday fiasco.

She should be doing more comedy cameos anyway. Dame--tell Liza's people to book her on Ugly Betty...STAT!

They may not CARE, but I suspect it's way off the mark to that the majority of the audience doesn't know who she is.

I'll be sure to check it out. I would love to see Patti LuPone or Bernadette Peters on SNL.

With Neil Patrick Harris hosting, this makes it even MORE exciting. SO looking forward to this.

I could easily see Neil Patrick Harris as Judy Garland and Liza as... well, Liza.

Neil Patrick Harris AND Liza? This is the best news I have heard in a while...wow!

On a side note, I was just watching reruns of her stint on Arrested Development...oh Liza how I love your Lucille 2!

The majority of the audience wouldn't know her?

Are you kidding?

Liza is one of the most recognizable figures in the USA. She has starred in films ranging all the way back to the 70's, performed numerous times on her mother's variety show before that and (if those are too "antiquated" for today's audiences) was a hysterical reoccurring character on "Arrested Development."

Patti Lupone has appeared on the show. Once as a walk on cameo.

I'll be tivoing this, like I do every week.

Knowing how much of a Liza fan you are, I'm so surprised you didn't fly out to NYC to see her. She was amazing!

Bumpin' for Liza.

Dame, Liza on Weeds would be tremendous, especially if she were in a scene with Elizabeth Perkins.

Neal.. i have seen that show in almost every incarnation except for the Palace run. The dates of the run also didn't help.

Phylis,
Mary Louise and Liza are friends. So I see this as a possibility.

You are kidding right? Everyone knows who Liza is. She is an American Icon.
