Yeah for all the Tracy fans. I did read about her new show – via Wikipedia of all places. Here’s hoping she gets her own cover but then again, it’s just Vanity Fair. Whatever, right!?

Tracy Ullman has more original talent than any of the others, and can go from nun to fun in seconds. My wife, the bride of Frankenstein, and I laugh ourselves to sleep after watching some of her late night stuff.

We have Tracey Ullman to thank for The Simpsons – which should guarantee her automatic inclusion, in my view!

Okay Mr. Keeler – I am pulling rank on you – I don’t think your age was even in the double digits when she started out (her song “They don’t know” came out in 1983 and was a big hit – though a pretty crappy song).

I don’t find Sarah Silverman to be that funny – but I did love her video birthday gift to Jimmy Kimmel about Matt Damon – though it was the concept and Damon, more than Silverman.

They missed a lot of other current comediennes but whatever – it’s Vanity Fair – they always exclude someone.

I would disagree. I have never found Ullman funny at all. Ever.

It’s really funny (no pun), that Tracey isn’t on here, due to the fact that the majority of people who sign onto these things, only do so when they have some new project coming out. It’s all press, and promotion. Here’s the funny part: Tracey is coming back to television this month, with a brand new series on Showtime, which is getting rave reviews. Totally strange, especially now that she’s a full declared American now.

Bastards! Tracey shot back at Hitchens, blasting that hell out of him for that piece. He’s a dried up old drunk anyway. Doesn’t surprise me. Total loser. I do love Kathy Griffin!

Anyway, visit my blog for Tracey:

I think they may reference Degeneres – I agree with you – she cracks me up every time. Judy Tenuta was another. But Ullman is and was HUGE. I don’t get that omission-esp. if Sandra Bernhardt is in there!

Agree about Ullman; and Ellen DeGeneres is funny – Kathy Griffith is mean spirited and not funny. Trying to think of name of woman who plays Susan on Desperate Housewives…Teri Hatcher! She can do the Carole Lombard style humor (as can Brooke Shield with the correct writers). But I don’t know if either of these gals could do stand up lol.
