Portrayed by
Gilda Radner

Litella is notable for being the very first Update correspondent, and she was the only person to appear on Update besides Chase for much of the first season.

So, still time to make suggestions for shows that we might see. We have MoMA and the Met on the schedule and possibly the Whitney, but we are looking for gallery recommendations.

Joanne called it the Magic Eight Ball of letters and said she got David Foster Wallace, Dan Brown and Arthur C. Clark for her samples.
