Can someone tell me exactly when Victoria Jackson jumped the damned shark?

[Nikki Stone1]

I had no idea that she was such a fruitcake. What the hell happened?

FYI: Someone sent me a video of her singing (sort of) that there was a Communist in the White House. Now Obama is many things but not in any universe is he a Communist. It's the most bizarre thing I've ever seen.

Did she fall from the stage and hit her head?

1. I learned about this on Friday. I'm still not convinced that it's not parody

I gave it a couple hours of thought and then abandoned it because that's all of my time it was worth.

[Nikki Stone1]

3. You know, I wondered if it might be parody, but she was on the 700 Club (video on youtube)

Why? Just why?

[branders seine]

8. she is a bona fide wingnut. no parody.

[Nikki Stone1]

13. You're sure?

I mean so much of what she does reads like parody.

[hlthe2b]

37. No joke...No parody... 100% wingnut

[Nikki Stone1]

38. Good Lord.

:wow:

[blondeatlast]

41. Shae has been for quite some time. Religious zealot too. nt

[LisaM]

2. She's been like that for a long time, but in retrospect

we could probably go back and deconstruct all those weird skits she did with Dennis Miller when he was practically slobbering over her. What a pair.

[realisticphish]

4. Oh, she's been nuts for a long time

she's just gotten more press in the past few years

[Skidmore]

5. WHo the heck is Victoria Jackson? Seriously, I have no idea who

she is.

[Nikki Stone1]

11. Old Saturday Night Live Comedian (late 80s, early 90s)

Did dumb blond roles.

Now she supports the Teabag movement.

18. The only thing

I ever saw her on was SNL.

6. When was she in the water in the first place?

I vaguely recall her on SNL and in that Weird Al movie.

She never seemed to get enough exposure for anyone to get a clue how she really felt about anything.

My guess, because no one cared to know.

[Ian David]

7. Apparently, when she was on SNL, she wasn't actually acting.

She really *is* dumb enough to let a cat drive a car.

[Kerrytravelers]

9. She did an anti-Al Franken ad in 2008. She's a nut.

Jackson, Robert Davi, John Ratzenberger and some other loon I can't recall did this unsuccessful ad for Norm Coleman.

[Nikki Stone1]

12. No kidding.

I feel like I've missed so much.

[imnKOgnito]

28. And this is kinda funny to me...

Wouldn't Al Franken have been writing a lot of the material she was performing on SNL back then? Like she's mad that he helped make her famous so Faux News would give a shit about anything she had to say, anyways? Although, really... I encourage these people to use Victoria Jackson as their spokesperson anywhere and everywhere and quite vocally.

[JI7]

10. she is a dumbass wingnut, total dumbass, she use to be on Bill Maher's ABC show

in the 90s . total fucking idiot.

[undeterred]

14. She and Dennis Miller were both pretty funny on SNL

and I had no idea they were both rabid right wingers. She played the dumb blonde stereotype really well, come to think of it.

[DJ13]

22. It was funny when we thought they were acting

Now its just pathetic.

[Edweird]

15. My wife encountered her in a professional capacity around 8 years ago.

She was all 'jesus freaky' and generally batshit crazy.

[Blue Owl]

16. I thought she just sounded stupid...

guess it wasn't an act!

[CreekDog]

19. +1

so it turns out that she's not even as good an actress as we thought. :rofl:

[sufrommich]

17. It's not like she was an intellectual giant to start with. nt

[mrcheerful]

20. I remember reading an interview in the 1980's with SNL cast members who claimed she was nuts

because she was getting upset with SNL's anti raygun skits, the cast said she adored raygun. But then I don't know what mag wrote the interview I just remember it was well known that she was a raygun wing nut when she was on the show.

[medeak]

34. she married fire breather then cop?

I think...both marriages sounds nuts to me

[caty]

21. The repubs are

really scraping the bottom of the barrel to have her as a spokeswoman.

[951-Riverside]

23. I thought I just saw her in a Burger King ad ...which was odd.

I was half awake I saw it though and haven't seen it since.

[laughingliberal]

24. I think it's real. I saw it mentioned she was appearing at a teabag rally. nt

[Canuckistanian]

25. The RW crazies discovered her about two years ago

But as far as I can see, she's always been like this. Lucid enough to keep a job, but still batshit insane.

Sort of like Michele Bachmann, only loonier (if that's possible).

[Stevenmarc]

26. She went from has been to who the fuck gives a shit a long time ago

[Iggo]

27. Sometime in the 80's. (n/t)

[Lint Head]

29. My understanding of her is that she is not as ditsy as she seems.

She plays dumb and ditsy. Marilyn Monroe did the same thing. So did Goldie Hawn. Though the last two did not pretend to be fright wing hatriots.

[Birthmark]

30. It's been since the late 80s or early 90s

That's when I found out she was barking mad. Then, like so many other wingnuts, 9/11 took the last vestiges of her sanity.

I think they held a funeral for her sanity, iirc. It was a *very* small coffin. Tragic.

[Cleita]

31. Wikipedia explains it all.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Jackson

I thought at one time she was pretty talented. I have the X-Files appearance that she did on DVD and she is a pretty good actress. I also remember her doing some pretty good send-ups of Roseanne Barr on SNL. However, it seems the fundie has been in the girl all along.

[XemaSab]

44. It's funny reading through this

how un-memorable her SNL skits were.

I can name probably 10 SNL members and some of the acts they were famous for, but she always played the dingy blonde in EVERY SINGLE SKIT. :o

[EndElectoral]

32. These wingnuts would have loved the reincarnation of Joe McCarthy

[Donnachaidh]

33. when she didn't win an oscar for her part in UHF, she lost her mind

After all, that was a GREAT performance :sarcasm:

She's been nuts for years.

[ThoughtCriminal]

35. Just a guess

Probably between her 1990 divorce and marrying a Dade County policeman in 1991. I doubt her Fundamentalist Christian views were a big part of her life when she had a part in "Casual Sex" (1988).

[hlthe2b]

36. You thought her ditzy personna was an act?

She had little brain matter to begin with and THEN she drank the koolaid--certainly as early as 2000.

[liberalmuse]

39. The first clue would be she has no discernable talent.

I never understood her appeal on SNL, other than being the stereotypical ditzy blonde, and not even a good one at that. Usually that's a sign of a celebrity wingnut. Even so, her batshitiness is a bit beyond the pale.

[Nikki Stone1]

40. Her Johnny Carson routine is bizarre and interesting

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RkGm4-KSDU&feature=related

Maybe she was underused on Saturday Night Live

[Starbucks Anarchist]

42. In the delivery room.

[Electric Monk]

43. She was 'The Moment Of Zen' on TDSWJS tonight. Batshit crazy.
