During one break, "I got asked to be onSaturday Night Live. And of course I said yes. Who doesn't want to do that?"

When she got word thatSCTVwas picked up again, she departedSNLwithout ever filming an episode. "Basically I said, 'Oh, sorry, I gotta go be with my [comedy] family.' "

"Yeah, not cool to take a job and leave it. You know what I mean?" she says.

In the end, O'Hara's best friend from high school, Robin Duke, took herSNLslot. "It all worked out the way it was supposed to," says O'Hara.

SCTVran from 1976 to 1984 and was an offshoot of Toronto's famed Second City comedy troupe, where the late comedian Gilda Radner (who eventually left Second City forSaturday Night Live)got her start.

O'Hara acted as Radner's understudy on the show and, in a 2020 interview onWatch What Happens Live, said she learned from Radner "that you could still be the loveliest person in the world, and still be hilarious."

She continued: "I dared to take her place at Second City theater, and I've been imitating her since."

Jesse Welles: Keeping the spirit of American folk music alive

The story of America can be told through the lyrics of folk music – songs of the Great Depression, the civil rights era, and the social revolutions of the 1960s. As folk singer Pete Seeger put it in 1967, "A song isn't a speech; a song is not an editorial. If a song tries to be an editorial or a speech, often it fails as a song. The best songs tell a story, paint a picture, and leave the conclusion up actually to the listener."

And if you're wondering whether folk music is still relevant today, take a listen to Jesse Welles. He is 33 years old, with a voice older than his years, and a message that speaks across generations:

It ain't the banksAnd it ain't the taxesIt ain't the payday loans and the high rent homesAnd predatory fees and practices …

If you worked a little harderThen you'd have a lot moreSo the blame and the shame's on youFor being so damn poor, yeahFrom "The Poor"

If it seems fitting right now to have a guy with six strings singing about the times, Welles said, "Every dog has its day!"

Well, it's your own damn fault you're so damn fatShame, shame, shameAll the food on the shelf was engineered for your healthSo you're gonna have to take the blameFrom "Fat"

Welles can be soft-spoken in person, but behind the microphone he sings loud and clear. He takes aim at anyone he thinks takes advantage of working people – the "folks" in folk music.

There ain't no "you" in UnitedHealthThere ain't no "me" in the companyThere ain't no "us" in the private trustThere's hardly "humans" in humanityFrom "UnitedHealth"

At a Greenwich Village record store last fall, Welles dug through his musical roots, and his mother's influence: "She really liked Crosby, Stills and Nash, and she liked Fleetwood Mac," he said. "She liked pretty, pretty music. But no one was really talking about Dylan. So, I suppose that was maybe the first solo space mission I flew, was to go and find, like, some hard folk music."

He was in New York to perform on CBS' "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," where he chose a song that speaks to the unease some feel about our moment in history:

Join ICE,Boy, ain't it nice?Join ICETake my adviceIf you're lackin' control and authority,Come with me and hunt down minoritiesJoin ICEFrom "Join ICE"

Welles is up for four Grammy Awards Sunday, recognition that this troubadour from Ozark, Arkansas, never expected, especially considering his talents seemed to be more on the football field rather than the stage.

He wasn't always comfortable with his voice, which his sister said sounds like burnt toast. "But burnt toast is still edible!" he laughed.

With that simple and direct "'burnt toast" sound, Welles gets millions of views on social media.

War isn't murderGood men don't dieChildren don't starveAnd all women survive

War isn't murderThat's what they sayWhen you're fighting the devilMurder's okayFrom "War Isn't Murder"

He tapes himself, alone in the Arkansas hills, with lyrics that can seem ripped from the headlines, as in "No Kings." But he laughs when asked if he sees himself as a political figure: "A political … ? Wow! No!"

Those songs got their start in his spare bedroom-turned-studio, where he played for us a new one:

I knew a man, his only wishTo answer to no one, drink like a fish.He worked real hard and he got it all.There was plenty to drink, and no one to call.

If you look down the road, you'll see the sunAnd it makes time, as you take time,Just to end where you've begun.

I've got peace like a river.I've got time.I don't need a thingThat ain't already mine.From "Peace Like a River"

Asked what he's trying to say in his songs, Welles replied, "I can't tell you what it means. Like, it's up to everybody. Nobody is going to paint anything and tell you, 'This is what I mean when I painted this.' You know, that's no fun. That takes away your experience."

Welles has been embraced by legends of folk and rock. He recently performed with John Fogerty, and late last year he went into the studio with Joan Baez, bridging generations and bringing in new audiences.

Joan Baez and Jesse Welles perform "Don't Think Twice It's Alright" at The Filmore in San Francisco:

For Jesse Welles, it is his way of keeping the spirit of American folk music alive. "I think it's important that it doesn't go away," he said. "It's something that you know has been going on, it's been going on for centuries and centuries. You wake up one morning and you go, this is what I do. This is what I was supposed to do."

Jeffries: DHS should be 'dramatically reformed' after Dems delay funding bill

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said Sunday morning that his caucus would meet Sunday afternoon to determine how it would proceed onfunding for the Department of Homeland Security, but he said the agency should be "dramatically reformed."

"ICE agents should conduct themselves like every other law enforcement agency in the country as opposed to running around -- masked thugs, in many instances unleashing brutality on law-abiding American citizens," Jeffries told ABC News' This Week anchor George Stephanopoulos.

The Senate on Friday passed a package of five funding bills butstripped out a DHS funding billand passed a two-week continuing resolution to consider reforms to its immigration enforcement operation after the killing of two U.S. citizens by federal law enforcement in Minneapolis.

Partial government shutdown expected to extend longer than anticipated

The bills were to be taken up in the House when it returns on Monday but Jeffries said Saturday he informed House Speaker Mike Johnson that Democrats would not help Republicans fast-track the package to force a debate on the DHS funding bill, which would push the vote to Tuesday.

Jeffries on Sunday called the Senate agreement a "meaningful step in the right direction."

"What is clear is that the Department of Homeland Security needs to be dramatically reformed," Jeffries said. "We share that view, as does Leader [Chuck] Schumer and Senate Democrats in a variety of different ways."

Jeffries said the Democrats have clear demands for reforming ICE's immigration operation: requiring agents to wear body cameras, to be unmasked during operations and to require judicial warrants before making any arrests. Asked by Stephanopoulos if he could trust the Trump administration to enforce these changes, even if enacted by Congress, Jeffries said that he would leave enforcement to the courts.

"[The Trump administration has] been lawless from the very beginning. It's one of the reasons why we need to actually build these strict requirements in terms of behavior into the law so that the courts can hold them accountable," Jeffries said.

He had other stern characterizations about the Trump administration Sunday, calling it "untrustworthy" and said it is "unleashing brutality against the American people" using taxpayer funds, following the shooting deaths of two American citizens by federal law enforcement in Minneapolis last month.

Former officials say DHS tactics undermine public trust after series of contradictory statements

Sunday's interview also came two days after the Justice Department released over 3 million pages from the Jeffrey Epstein case. The release came more than a month after the deadline set by Congress to release all files in the Justice Department's possession.

Jeffries was still not satisfied Sunday, telling Stephanopoulos that the Justice Department is withholding millions of documents.

"There are more than 3 million documents that are being withheld by the Department of Injustice," Jeffries said. "And so the question ... that the American people are asking is what are they hiding from the American people, and who are they protecting?"

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told Stephanopoulos Sunday that the Justice Department is still waiting for a judge to authorize the release of a small number of files, but said the review of files was "over" and that the Department had "nothing to hide."
