In chronological order as they appear in the Miami New Times.

"Marlene was convinced her daughter could avoid schizophrenia only if she became an extreme extrovert."

"At the Playboy mansion, Victoria stood on her head and recited poetry while half-naked Bunnies looked at her quizzically."

"There she lost her virginity to the fire-eater."*

"'If I don't marry him, God will say, 'She's a slut.""

"When Victoria left audiocassette box sets of the Bible in each [SNL] castmate's mail slot for Christmas, they were angrily returned."

"One year later, [Victoria's husband] used a shotgun to obliterate a pit bull that was attacking his partner."

"'It's OK to be a [...]

Depressing press release headline of the day: "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE Reunion with Victoria Jackson & Joe Piscopo @ the new CLUB PISCOPO in Atlantic City."

Saturday Night Live has been home to over a hundred cast members throughout the past 35 years. In our column Saturday Night’s Children, we present the history, talent, and best sketches of one SNL cast member each week for your viewing, learning, and laughing pleasure.

Thanksgiving got me into the patriotic spirit, and there's nothing more American than speaking out against Obama, gay marriage, and the Islamization of America, at least according to SNL alum Victoria Jackson, who helped bring the show out of its mid-80s slump thanks to her go-to status as the show's squawky-voiced blonde airhead. Who knew she'd go from reciting poetry while doing handstands on [...]

Low Standards with John and Matt is back after an unplanned, technical-difficulties-related hiatus. But it was worth the wait, guys! In this week's episode, Julie Klausner swings by to talk about the not-quite-a-classic Casual Sex?, with the weirdo cast of Lea Thompson, Victoria Jackson and Andrew Dice Clay. What follows is an important discussion on the amount of chest hair that should be visible and the irresistibility of a dude saying "GA-DUSHE" while flexing.

Be sure to check out Julie's book I Don't Care About Your Band: What I Learned from Indie Rockers, Trust Funders, Pornographers, Felons, Faux-Sensitive Hipsters, and Other Guys I've Dated and her podcast [...]

First of all, don't even watch this video of SNL alum Victoria Jackson visiting Occupy Wall Street. It's 15 fucking minutes long, and you have better things to do, like take a fork and slowly shove it into your eyeball, through your eye, past the socket and into the part of your brain that has to die in order for anything Victoria Jackson says to make sense. In the film, insane person Jackson questions some random bystanders about the protest movement, grilling them with insightful queries like, "If you want everyone to be equal, how are you going to make them equal in good looks and smart brains? [...]

Comedians often play along the fine line between truth and hyperbole, eviscerating cliches and propagating bigotry. SNL alum Victoria Jackson careened over that line years ago, piloting a rocket-powered hovercraft controlled by the shifting weight and orientation of her gigantic hair bow. In an interview with CNN about Glee's gay kiss, Jackson, or "Lady Gallagher" as I like to call her, seems completely unwilling, almost unable, to focus on the anchor and the questions at hand. "Secular humanism rules the airwaves," Jackson explains when asked about teen boys smooching, later explaining "I've noticed that the liberal agenda is anti-Christ…I mean, anti-Jesus." It takes a lot of mental dexterity [...]
