While one of the most noteworthy and oft-cited is the meteoric origin story of Eddie Murphy, his leap to SNL was not the only sudden jump to NBC's sketch series during this era. Fellow season-six cast member Gail Matthius's time on the show occurred a mere year after her move to Los Angeles, a move funded by performing jingles and visiting farms on behalf of Allis-Chalmers tractors across the Great Plains.
Since her tumultuous SNL year, Matthius ventured into voicework for iconic '90s cartoons and performs improv, reflecting on her SNL stint as a time of intense pressure that seemed normal then.
