Jon Lovitz, meanwhile, starred on Saturday Night Live with Hooks and released the following statement:
"This is very, very sad news about Jan. She was easily one of the best comedic actresses to be on SNL.
"When ever she and Phil Hartman worked together, it was magic. As Jim and Tammy Faye Baker on Church Chat with Dana Carvey, the three of them created one of the best sketches, ever, in the history of SNL. She was terrific to work with and a very, very nice person. I will miss her very much. Peace and prayers to her family and friends."
