This is devastating, via TMZ:
Jan Hooks, who worked alongside some of the biggest "Saturday Night Live" stars ... died Thursday ... TMZ has learned. She was 57.
We've learned she passed away this morning in New York City. Sources tell us Jan had been battling a serious illness.
Jan was part of the 'SNL' cast from 1986-91 ... the same time as Chris Farley, Mike Myers, Phil Hartman, Dana Carvey and Dennis Miller ... and was most famous for being half of the Sweeney Sisters ... and also for her impressions of Sinead O'Connor and Hillary Clinton.
She most recently played a part on "30 Rock."
Right after 'SNL', Jan joined the cast of "Designing Women." She also had a famous role in "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure."
Jan had dated fellow SNL star Kevin Nealon ... before she was on SNL.
She was nominated for an Emmy in 1998 for a role on "3rd Rock from the Sun."
I loved Jan Hooks when she played Charlene's naive and adorable sister Carlene on Designing Women. She made such an impression on SNL and I really can't believe she's gone. Rest in Peace, Jan. God Bless.
