Tracey impersonates famous people, such as Arianna Huffington (who sleeps with her laptop and has a dramatic Eva Gabor accent and penchant for using "blog" in every part of her speech),David Beckham, reporters Campbell Brown and Fox News correspondent Rita Cosby, Renee Zellweger, Cameron Diaz, Judi Dench, Helen Mirren, Dina Lohan (Lindsay’s mother), curmudgeonly "60 Minutes" commentator over-the-hill Andy Rooney, Angelina Jolie (and her ilk coming to the Appalachians and adopting a poor American child), Laurie David (environmentalist and estranged wife of Larry David flying around in her private jet, often cussing out those below her. Some of her targets might not care for the treatment they receive.
Trivia: Ullman's Favorite Comedienne: Gracie Allen (Note: "Gracie was a practicing Irish Catholic-"The only politicians Gracie ever cared about were the Kennedys. Not because she agreed with their politics, but because they were Irish Catholics. Gracie was very proud of her heritage, and the thought that an Irishman could be President of the United States absolutely thrilled her George Burns).
"Tracey is an American-o-phile," says Bruce Wagner, a writer-producer on "State of the Union." "She's kind of obsessed with America ... Tracey wanted to show the entire spectrum of this country, not just political but emotional." Ullman: "Now there's so much more satire in America than when I first moved here..."I like that Americans can laugh at themselves more.."
Ullman returns with a unique brand of sociopolitical commentary.
I’d love to see her impersonations of Rita Cosby, Andy Rooney and Angelina Jolie! She is hilarious.
i never was much of a fan of ullman -but those clips are pretty funny.
I liked the clip where the guy sculpted the Statue of Libery out of a 1200 LB block of cheddar.
Well bless her heart. I liked the Tracey Ullman Show. Reminds me of Lucille Ball, with a broader range of characters.
Ha! I’ve been waiting for new things from Tracey. That clip of her as Arriana Huffington was hilarious! ...in bed at night watching Charlie Rose and blogging ... Too funny!
