My Take
Oteri is, to me, one of the unsung engines of late-90s Saturday Night Live. Her five-season run sat right in the show's most quotable era, and her commitment to physical, fully-detonated comedy gave those sketches a manic energy you can't fake. I always appreciated that she could write as well as perform — the goofiness was a craft, not an accident. Her Gail Hailstorm in Scary Movie carried that same fearlessness. She never seemed to chase prestige, just laughs, and I think that honesty is exactly why her bits still hold up.
