EP 360 - Former SNL Star Victoria Jackson Talks New Music Comedy Album, SNL, Johnny Carson and more!

Victoria Jackson grew up in a Bible-believing, piano-playing, TV-free home in Miami. When Johnny Crawford (The Rifleman) met her at a Birmingham summer stock production, he bought her a one-way ticket to Hollywood to be in his night club act.  For two years, she held odd jobs in the show-biz capital — as a cigarette girl, waitress, and typist — until Johnny Carson noticed her stand-up routine and put her on The Tonight Show… twenty times. After that, she starred in many movies and TV shows, most notably six seasons on Saturday Night Live. Victoria still appears in films, does stand-up comedy, sings her original ukulele songs. She recently released her first music-comedy album, When I Get to Nashville, playing her signature ukulele paired with her instantly-recognizable high-pitched voice, Victoria works her way through “When I Get to Nashville,” with 18 hilarious songs (plus some stand up) about landing in Music City - where she’s determined to find her way to the Grand Ole Opry stage. The album also features a cameo from fellow-SNL star Rob Schneider. #comedy #standupcomedy #comedian #comic #comedienne #SNL #SaturadayNightLive #JohnnyCarson #TheTonightShow #UHF #weirdal #musiccomedy #newalbum #minniepearl
