Sarah Sherman ‘started hysterically sobbing’ after her ‘SNL’ checks were sent to this estate

Sarah Sherman is recounting a heartbreaking moment.

The “Saturday Night Live” star, 32, recently revealed a cosmic connection she had to the late Gilda Radner, who appeared on the sketch comedy show from 1975 to 1980, before her 1989 death from ovarian cancer at age 42.

“I got a giant envelope in the mail,” Sherman recounted on Vulture’s “Good One” podcast last week, “with a handwritten letter that was like, ‘Hey, I’m Gilda Radner’s brother. Weird thing happened where I’ve been receiving all of your residuals checks for the past few months.’”

Sherman broke down after receiving the message from the beloved comic’s sibling.

“I started, like, hysterically sobbing, obviously,” she confessed. “Because I’m like, ‘Okay, God’s speaking to me right now.’ The fact that my SAG residuals checks had been sent to Gilda Radner’s estate?”

Sherman immediately told “SNL” creator Lorne Michaels.

“I texted Lorne [and] I was like, ‘Oh my God, my checks have been sent to Gilder Radner’s estate! Isn’t this like a crazy coincidence?’” the actress explained. “‘I feel like this is like a miracle or like I feel like this is a spirit is talking.’”

“Obviously, that’s a schizophrenic text message,” she quipped.

But Michaels, 80, simply replied: “That’s sweet.”

Radner was the first person to be hired for Season 1 of “Saturday Night Live” alongside Garrett Morris, Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Jane Curtin, Chevy Chase and Laraine Newman.

The fallen star was on air for five seasons, bringing fan-favorite characters to life, such as Lisa Loopner of “The Nerds,” Roseanne Roseannadanna and Baba Wawa — her Barbara Walters parody,

Radner took home an Emmy for her work on “SNL” in 1978.

Sherman, meanwhile, joined the NBC series during Season 47 in October 2021.

The “You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah” actress came under fire in April for her “White Lotus” parody that left Aimee Lou Wood feeling hurt.

Despite the backlash, Sherman explained her perspective on the sketch.

“I was excited to play her because she’s so iconic, her character is so iconic,” Sherman told Vanity Fair in May, “and I f–king obviously never meant to hurt anyone’s feelings. Never in a million years did I get into comedy to make anyone upset. I feel terrible that anyone would feel bad.”

The April 12 episode poked fun at Donald Trump and his tariffs, using the characters from the third season of the HBO series to act out a family scene. Wood, 31, took to social media after the skit to call out Sherman’s take on her character, Chelsea.

The comedian insisted that she wasn’t trying to be mean about the “Sex Education” alum.

“The show is in constant dialogue with culture as it’s happening, and it happens really fast,” Sherman admitted. “You have to be vigilant, you know what I mean?”

“There are a lot of things out of your control,” she continued. “You’re playing a lot of different parts, you’re doing a lot of different roles that you’re not in control of. A lot of the process of the show has been, to me — how am I answering this? Staying vigilant but also being a part of the show — that is your job.”

During her chat with the magazine, Sherman also touched on how being a part of “SNL” has made her better at her craft.

“I came into the show as if everyone was like, ‘She’s crazy,’” she reminisced, “and I did all this crazy stuff. It’s like, oh, crazy doesn’t go that long of a way. The show is an hour and a half. It can’t be crazy the whole time. So the show has supported me to move in places that make me understand comedy better.”
