Victoria Jackson, the former "Saturday Night Live" star and now tea party activist, made an appearance on Headline News' "Showbiz Tonight" on Monday to address the furor she caused with the homophobic comments about the Fox high school choir dramedy in her newest column for WorldNetDaily.

In the column, Jackson wrote in response to an emotional, long awaited kiss between two gay characters, one of whom is played by Golden Globe winner Chris Colfer. "Did you see "Glee" this week? Sickening! And, besides shoving the gay thing down our throats, they made a mockery of Christians - again! I wonder what their agenda is? Hey, producers of "Glee" - what's your agenda? One-way tolerance?"

***

"They should have a celibacy campaign and tell kids that 50% of teenagers now have this new STD from oral sex, that's what they should try to be doing instead of making kids gay," the former actress continued. "I just want to know why the liberals are pro-muslim and pro-gays. Muslims kill gays. That's what's confusing to me. And the only thing I can come up with is the Mulims hate God and the gays hate his word."

To be fair, Jackson did desperately yell that she had gay friends as the segment closed on her. She may not be getting calls from those friends anytime soon.

1. Funny that Jackson sees that everyone she doesn't like must "hate" something.

Textbook example of projection right there.

2. I still don't understand why teabaggers hate Muslims so much
They have sooooooo much in common with Muslim extremists like the Taliban.

Everything tea partyers repeat is a RW talking point

She should be careful of offending her Fox overlords.

33. Yes she was.
Don't re-confabulate (is that a word?). Back in the day, Victoria was funny, she was cute, she seemed to be connected with reality. I loved her on SNL. But she and Dennis Miller just went nutso. Maybe it's the old cliché about Dems only being Dems until they make some money. It's not true for most of us, but for some of 'em, like Dennis and Victoria, clearly having a few bucks turned them into hateful, narcissistic assholes.

36. How old are you?

Dennis Miller used to have a show on HBO, vaguely similar to Bill Maher's. It was all political/current events humor with A-List guests. It was hysterical, appointment tv (this was before On-Demand cable). He was on "our" side. He ended each show with a bit very much like Bill's "New Rules," except it used the week's news photos with captions added to them. It was brilliant. But then Bush got elected, and I assume Miller was worth considerably more money...and he went to the dark side. He turned 180 degrees. Now, he's doing stand-up in supper clubs in New Jersey. Victoria Jackson? Also a very funny comedienne back when she was playing the lovable dufus. I don't know what happened to her, because I doubt she made enough money to worry about tax policies. A couple of shitty movies, nothing much since then. But that doesn't negate the fact that she became "Victoria Jackson" because she had a schtick and it was funny and people liked her. Me included.

Now I don't. I don't like certain family members, either. But that doesn't have to mean they were ALWAYS terrible. Some people devolve.

46. I'm old enough to remember his annoying SNL Weekend Update stint.
Edited on Wed Mar-23-11 09:29 AM by geardaddy
Where did I mention his political affiliation? I just never thought he was funny, even when he was a liberal. I always thought his delivery was lame. He could be a raving socialist demanding single payer healthcare for all I care. I just don't think he's funny.

39. what was so funny about her then?
i thought she was totally unfunny back on SNL. she is a total ditz who basically just played herself on the show.....her great skill was standing on her head and reading poetry.

she always sucked. now she sucks and she's evil.

40. You may be right about Dennis Miller-
Edited on Tue Mar-22-11 06:15 PM by WhoIsNumberNone
I was shocked when I woke up one day and he was a neocon. I always remembered him as a liberal in the 90s.

But I think it's pretty clear Victoria Jackson caught religion. It's similar to the kind an old girlfriend of mine caught when she joined AA. (She wasn't too bright either) Does anybody know if Victoria Jackson had some kind of chemical problem after she dropped off the C list? Or maybe she's just been hanging around with Kirk Cameron too much...

9. and how many tv/movie scripts has her agent forwarded to her?
Edited on Tue Mar-22-11 10:01 AM by SemperEadem
When was the last time she headlined any movie/tv show? What's her box office draw? How many millions can she generate in 2 1/2 days? Not much. She's reduced to making pathetic bleatings on headline news.

Guess this is what being unfunny will do to you.

Quite frankly, I"d love for Steven Colbert to have her on his show. That would be like shooting fish in a barrel.

10. Yeah, I don't think she'd "get" Colbert at all...
...I think she'd play right into his O'Reilly goof and ultimately convince herself that she'd just delivered a fine segment on Fox News.

And the segment is so lame! "Some say it's a great way to show kids it's OK to be gay!" What???

She's generating huge outrage....

14. The Muslims confuse me
This must be her logic.....

Muslims Hate Gays
I hate Gays
I Hate Muslims
But Muslims hate Gays so I think that I am supposed to love Muslims
But how can I love Muslims for hating gays because they are..... Muslims


I am so confused. (I think her head actually did explode, it looks twice the size of a normal head, so maybe it was just her brain that exploded).

25. I think Victoria Jackson finds doorknobs confusing
Seriously. She makes Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann look like Nobel Laureates. She's so stupid that I recently saw someone on a right wing blog claiming she was actually planted by the Obama Administration to grab headlines and make teabaggers look stupid.

30. She is just pure awesome!!!
She reminds me of how I used to look at Sarah Palin during the last election. I just can't get enough of her. I am not sure exactly what it is. Maybe it is that fake little kid voice... make it is that look of a retarded 5 year old getting caught doing something bad...whatever it is, she is just an endless fountain of stupidity that keeps giving and giving and giving.

Do not forget, she was a comedian..... maybe she is just parodying the tea baggers and in a year or two will reveal it to us. Either way, I always look forward to watching her.

She wasn't even a D list comic! And she is about a sharp as a bowling ball. Talk about desperately clinging to past fame! Let it go already! You weren't even that popular when you were on SNL.

He was never remotely funny or witty, although the thought of him wearing a dog collar and sucking hookers toes could be mildly amusing.

She fits right in. Her and Sarah could be distant cousins. And I didn't even watch the video. I always thought she was on Mad TV. She must have been on SNL when I didn't watch it at all.

My hat's really off to the interviewer for managing to keep a straight face throughout. I certainly couldn't have done it.

32. Victoria Jackson is creepy
She built a minor career pandering to pervs by talking in a little girl voice and doing handstands on a desk. All while she was babbling about jesus and religion. It was just weird.
She was lame before - but now she's also become some sort of sad rightwing version of baby Jane Hudson.

Yes, your milleniums-old novel is your automatic free pass to be a hate-filled, racist, homophobic asshole.

Makes perfect sense, you walking Cabbage Patch doll. Seriously, woman, WTF? Stop talking and dressing like one of your characters and live in the now.

This is either the longest running inside-joke performance art there ever was, or she really IS just this big a moron.

45. "Secular Humanism!"
Now there's a canard I haven't heard in about 20 years. It was big with the hypo-Christians for the longest time. I think the reason it was so popular is that the term yields 7 syllables which made them at least sound smart. Ask them what it meant and they'd spitter and sputter and mumble something about prayer in school, the librul media with a good dose of hellfire and damnation.
