Sandra Bernhard celebrated New Year's Eve with a run of performances at Joe's Pub -- blending comedy, music, and glamour.

Sandra Bernhard is a comedy legend. She's got an extensive discography (with a new album I Love Being Me, Don't You? currently available), has played memorable roles in films like The King of Comedy and TV shows like Roseanne, and is pretty entertaining on Twitter. She's made a career out of mixing cabaret performances with hilarious pop culture observances (think Kathy Griffin, but with musical talent), and she's been proving that women are indeed hilarious. So let's take a look back at some of her best moments on Late Night with David Letterman, on which Bernhard was a regular in the '80s.

At the premiere of City Island:

People sometimes try to present outlandish arguments to me as a past-time. Sometimes they'll make a case for how Alyssa Milano is a "hot babe" and has a "sweet ass." I tend to stare back blankly as a result. Other times, they'll say that Ashton Kutcher's comedic stylings are sharp, cutting edge, and positively uproarious. At this point, I suggest they ease off the Irish Car Bombs. But to their credit, their incoherent outbursts represent something edifying: that part of America that time forgot. A part which also inexplicably remains a hindrance to all progress. These are people who appreciated Alyssa Milano on Who's the Boss, but not so much on Charmed (that conflicted with their warped world views.) They also enjoyed guffawing to Kelso's antics on That '70s Show too. And what better way to gently take this distrusting chunk of the American electorate by the hand and say, "No, friend! Universal health care is not a step towards full-blown communism! It simply means that parents who otherwise can't afford to can buy a thing to cure their child's sickness. So he doesn't come to school and infect your ugly brat." Yes, Milano and Kutcher may be excellent casual ambassadors for this issue as it goes up against the blue-hairs in Senate.
