Also, "Pope-Emeritus Benedict".
And what goes through my weird mind? "Benedict and BabaWawa, together in eternity, ohhh, don't fear the reaper don't fear the reaperrrrrr."

I though it was Bawawa Wawa originally from MAD magazine? I hated that parodizing of her slight speech defect.
Rest in peace. Barbara.

SNL parodied her much earlier than the Youtube skit linked above. I distinctly remember Gilda Radner saying "BaBa WaWa" in several parodies of Barbara Walters. Although it has been a gazillion years since I've seen those skits, so it's remotely possible that I could be slightly mistaken.

Baba Wawa! How Barbara Walters 'Came to Terms' with Gilda Radner's Infamous SNL Impression of Her
https://people.com/tv/baba-wawa-how-barbara-walters-came-to-terms-with-gilda-radners-infamous-snl-impression-of-her/
Barbara Walters was famously not too fond of the Saturday Night Live star and original cast member Gilda Radner's impression of her, but eventually "lightened up" about it.
In SNL's first season in 1976, the late comic debuted her caricature of the legendary news anchor, who died on Friday evening, her rep confirmed to PEOPLE.
"I hated the Gilda Radner 'Baba Wawa' until I walked into my daughter's room one night — she was up watching it ... I said, 'What are you doing up?' and she said 'I'm watching Baba Wawa.'"
Walters recalled her reaction being one of annoyance and frustration. "I mean — look what she's doing," she remembered saying to her her daughter, Jacqueline Dena Guber, now 54,
"Oh Mommy, lighten up," her daughter replied.
"And then — I did," Walters said with a smile.

In early April of 1979 then-Pwesident Carter got weewy weewy big after going in to qwean up a spwill in the core of the 3 Mile Island nuclear weactor. She joined us as the pwess confwence was alweady in pwogwess.
I busted a gut when she said "Wet's wisten in"
It may be inappropriate in this "obituary" thread, but that's never stopped me before.
