Church Lady
The Church Lady, a recurring character on Saturday Night Live played by Dana Carvey, is the uptight, smug, and pious host of the satirical talk show "Church Chat." Her full name is Enid Strict, and she serves as a parody of "holier-than-thou" Christian churchgoers, using her segments to judge celebrity guests on their alleged sins and secular lifestyles. Known for her distinctive purple dress, cat-eye glasses, and catchphrases like "Well, isn't that SPE-CIAL?" and "Could it be... SATAN?", the character originally aired from 1986 to 1990, with later revivals in 1996, 2000, 2011, 2016, and 2024.
