Saturday Night Live (1978)
We wouldn't put Fisher's hosting stint at the top of our list, but that Obi Kenobi beach song was pretty damn catchy.

Frasier (1995)
Fisher lent her iconic voice to one episode of the sitcom, where she played an insomniac who called into Frasier's radio show for help, only for Frasier to be too sleepy to listen to her call.

The Big Bang Theory (2014)
Fisher played herself as Sheldon (Jim Parsons) accompanied James Earl Jones on a prank at Carrie's house. Fisher and Jones had never met before filming that scene, despite Jones having played the voice of Darth Vader.

Laverne and Shirley (1982)
Fisher competed against Laverne (Penny Marshall) at impressing Hugh Hefner in order to earn the last spot as a Playboy Bunny, and she got offered the job, despite nearly lighting Mr. Hefner's face on fire. It was hilarious.

Sex and the City (2000)
Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) once made the mistake of sleeping with a guy (Vince Vaughn) who she thought was a Hollywood agent...only to then discover he was actually just a Hollywood assistant, house sitting for Carrie Fisher. Fisher was none too pleased.

30 Rock (2007)
Liz (Tina Fey) learned the hard way that she shouldn't meet her heroes when Fisher played Rosemary Howard, a feminist writer who turned out to be a little more extreme (and a little less stable) than she imagined.

Wishful Drinking (2010)
In her 2010 HBO documentary, Fisher was honest, hilarious, and happy to make fun of anything and everything she could. She also proved once again that she's a hell of a storyteller, and rewatching it only proves what a superstar we've lost.
