==Later life and career==
Newman's post-''SNL'' film career has been in both leading and supporting roles, as well as a voice artist in television and features.

In her memoirs, Newman recounted dating [[Dan Aykroyd]], [[Warren Zevon]], [[Peter Cook]], [[Phil Hartman]], and [[P.J. O'Rourke]]. She was also in a relationship with [[Mark Mothersbaugh]] of the [[new wave music|new wave]] band [[Devo]] years after the band did a guest spot in the fourth season of ''SNL''. Newman and Mothersbaugh were together for a couple of years, during which time Newman played Donut Rooter in the band's ''[[We're All Devo]]'' VHS release (1984). In her memoirs, Newman claimed she was [[celibacy|celibate]] for four years after the end of her relationship with Mothersbaugh.

===1970s===
Prior to leaving ''SNL'', Newman appeared in ''[[American Hot Wax]]'' (1978) and did a cameo in ''[[Mr. Mike's Mondo Video]]'' (1979).

===1980s===
Newman continued to appear in film and television productions during the 1980s. Among these were ''[[Wholly Moses]]'', ''[[Voltar The Invincible]]'', ''[[Perfect (1985 film)|Perfect]]'', and ''[[Invaders from Mars (1986 film)|Invaders from Mars]]''. She also had a small role in Woody Allen's ''[[Stardust Memories]]'' (1980).

Additionally, she made appearances on ''[[Laverne & Shirley]]'', ''E.T. and Friends'' (1983) (in which she reprised her role as Connie Conehead), ''Steve Martin's Best Show Ever'' (1981), ''St. Elsewhere'', and ''[[Amazing Stories (1985 TV series)|Amazing Stories]]''. Newman auditioned for the role of Masha in [[Martin Scorsese]]'s ''[[The King of Comedy (film)|The King of Comedy]]'' (1983); the role was played in the film by [[Sandra Bernhard]].

Newman celebrated her 36th birthday in March 1988 with a party in Los Angeles that was the last time [[Gilda Radner]] was with her original ''SNL'' co-stars.<ref name="variety">{{cite web |last1=Daval |first1=Malina |title=Laraine Newman Reflects on Her Life, Career in Memoir 'May You Live in Interesting Times' |url=https://variety.com/2021/tv/spotlight/laraine-newman-reflects-on-her-life-career-in-memoir-may-you-live-in-interesting-times-1234922031/ |website=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |date=March 5, 2021 |access-date=14 August 2022}}</ref> According to Bill Murray,<ref>{{cite book|last=Shales|first=Tom|title=Live From New York: An Uncensored History Of Saturday Night Live|year=2010|publisher=Little, Brown |isbn=978-0-316-73565-0|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=aNDb1d2i9KkC&q=Gilda%20got%20married%20and%20went%20away&pg=PT318}}</ref> when he heard Radner was about to leave the party, he and [[Dan Aykroyd]] carried her around the Los Angeles house where the party was held so that she could say goodbye to everyone.
