The Church Lady was a recurring character in a series of skits on the television show Saturday Night Live.
Created and played by the male Dana Carvey, she is uptight, smug and pious, often taking others to task for following the desires of their 'tingly parts'. She was known for the catch phrases, "Well isn't THAT special?" and "Who might that be, SATAN?" She also gave advice in response to 'letters' she received. Furthermore, whenever she felt that she had demonstrated her superiority, she would do her "superiority dance" in which she would rhythmically strut to music in front of her inferiors.
The Church Lady character was stolen from Jaston Williams's character in his play "Big Tuna".
