Jan Hooks, who worked alongside some of the biggest "Saturday Night Live" stars ... died Thursday ... TMZ has learned. She was 57.
We've learned she passed away this morning in New York City. Sources tell us Jan had been battling a serious illness.
Jan
was part of the 'SNL' cast from 1986-91 ... the same time as Chris
Farley, Mike Myers, Phil Hartman, Dana Carvey and Dennis Miller ... and

her impressions of Sinead O'Connor and Hillary Clinton.

"amazing times as friends, then dating and then the incredible rush of
being on SNL together."
