==="Love Is a Dream"=== ''SNL'' paid tribute to Hooks in the third episode of its 40th season on October 11, 2014. Guest host [[Bill Hader]] and [[Kristen Wiig]] introduced a tribute in which ''SNL'' re-aired a short she had filmed with [[Phil Hartman]] in 1988, "Love Is a Dream".<ref name=lovedream>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/jan-hooks-phil-hartman-saturday-740167 |title='SNL' Remembers Jan Hooks With Emotional Tribute |last=Couch |first=Aaron |website=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] |date=October 11, 2014}}</ref> This short film had also been re-aired to honor Hartman following his death in 1998. It is described as "a sweet and melodramatic tribute to the 1948 film "''[[The Emperor Waltz]]''", which was directed by [[Billy Wilder]] and starred [[Bing Crosby]] and [[Joan Fontaine]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://screencrush.com/snl-jan-hooks-tribute-love-is-but-a-dream |title=The 'SNL' Jan Hooks Tribute: Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig Present 'Love Is But a Dream' |website=[[Townsquare Media|ScreenCrush]] |access-date=September 13, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170429180716/https://screencrush.com/snl-jan-hooks-tribute-love-is-but-a-dream/ |archive-date=April 29, 2017 |url-status=unfit}}</ref> The scene casts Hooks as an aging woman who vanishes into her own imagination to sing and share a dance with a long-lost lover (Hartman). Hooks and Hartman appear to [[lip sync|lip-sync]] to the original singing voices from the 1948 film. One critic wrote that the "Jan Hooks tribute showed that Jan did not need to be funny in order to captivate the attention of her audience", as Hooks and Hartman were known to be quiet and reserved off screen.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.inquisitr.com/1534693/jan-hooks-snl-tribute/ |title=Jan Hooks: Here Are Five Reasons Why Her SNL Tribute Was Absolutely Perfect |last=Franks |first=Jonathan |website=[[Inquisitr]] |date=October 11, 2014 |access-date=September 13, 2019}}</ref>
