Coffee Talk with Linda Richman

Coffee Talk with Linda Richman is a sketch performed by Mike Myers on the sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live. In the sketch, Myers plays a stereotypical Jewish middle-aged woman named Linda Richman who sports:

  • an exaggerated Jewish-American accent
  • large fake nails
  • lots of gold jewelry
  • a purple windbreaker
  • large sunglasses
  • big hair, which she ocassionally adjusts

She occasionally adds Yiddish or pseudo-Yiddish words into her speech: "As you know Paul Baldwin is the usual host who developed shpilkes in his geneckteckessoink." Her show will have guest hosts and/or will take calls. The topics of discussion will almost always further the Jewish stereotype. She is obsessed with Barbra Streisand — luckily, Streisand herself once made a surprise entrance into Coffee Talk.

Whenever Linda would get upset, she would put her hand on her chest and say "I'm all verklempt" or "I'm a little verklempt". Then she would say, "Talk amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic." The topic would follow the format: "(Two-part phrase) is neither (first part) nor (second part). Discuss." (Example: "The radical reconstruction of the south after the Civil War was neither radical nor a reconstruction. Discuss.") She would then recover after a beat.

Linda Richman has yet to appear in her own film.
