I remember Norm asking me how to get on SNL. We were standing outside The Laugh Factory. I think I called Jim Downey and told him about Norm. The next year, Norm was on SNL! I don’t know if I had anything to do with it. Norm was so unique and brilliant, everyone was “discovering” him. Earlier, I had singled him out of a bunch of tapes of comics, to do stand up in a Palm Springs Show I was […]
Here’s my new show. I’m using the new editing skills I learned at Lipscomb’s Film Dept. I’m still a beginner. Hopefully, I’ll improve as the show moves on. I’ll post a new show every Monday. Hope you enjoy it. xoxo Update: I got over 2,000 subscribers and then Youtube locked me out of my account.(?) So, I started over from zero. Up to 400 something now. But, let me tell you the best Youtube channel there is – Chynna Phillips! […]
Coming this month on TBN for Christmas, is the spectacular Eric Metaxas’ Christmas special! I’m in a couple sketches playing his TV wife, an HR executive scolding Santa for being politically incorrect and singing with Eric like Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, “Marshmallow World” with live Rockettes’ singing and dancing with us! It was so much fun to shoot in New York last week. The writing and producing by Chris Himes and Eric was smart and funny, Seth Ward directing, […]
Here’s the Official First Trailer: I just turned 60 years old. My birthday present from God was the role of kooky Alma in a charming new film called, “Lost Heart.” The producers, director and actors are from a group called Collective Development Incorporated located in beautiful Michigan. (See some other movies CDI has produced; Wild Faith, The Christ Slayer and Forty Nights.) The movie is about UFO’S, forgiveness, fame, and redemption. The script by DJ Perry is sweet and original.

(Photo: Bill Cosby, me, Johnny Carson, 1983) Here’s a Link to 2nd of 20 Carson appearances, where I debuted my song, “Use Me.” Above is 3rd appearance, where I debuted my song “Angry Woman.” 1983 – I was living in South Pasadena, 1133 Buena Vista Dr., sharing a 1920’s mansion with 5 other hippies, one ate fire, one made stained glass windows, one had an accent and was always almost nude, pot was nearby…I had done my first six minute […]
MOVIE POSTER – “THE ONLY SHOW IN TOWN” In 2005, I made a one-hour documentary, excellently edited by Alan Taffel, entitled, “The Only Show in Town.” The theme song, “The Only Show in Town,” was written by the immensely talented Will Ryan. Legends Jon Lovitz and Kevin Nealon are hilarious in the film. The film follows my journey, before SNL, after SNL and everything that happened in between! People keep asking me, “What happened to you after SNL?!” So, to […]

Someone posted this on . I don’t know who or where they got the video. It was 1983, my 2nd appearance of 20 on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. I was 23 years old. Link here – https://www.facebook.com/victoriajacksonI/videos/479723409940/ Here’s a recent video filmed at Christmas 2018 by my 15 year old friend, Luke Best. He is becoming a film-maker. The only thing I would fix is the lighting but we did do it in one take at my sweet […]
What a fabulous time we had Nov. 10 in Laguna Hills with Ron and Kathy Strand and the crew at The Upper Room Presents. Michele Pillar graciously put me into her concert and we told our stories and sang and told jokes and shared how the Word of God helps us through the ups and downs of life. We met a wonderful singer from the Philippines named Felson Palad. He has a big career ahead of him. The audience members […]
Someone I don’t know posted this duet I did with Tiny Tim in 1995 on Conan! I’m so excited to see it. I don’t have a copy of it! I had seen him on Laugh In as a child at my Grandma’s house, (we didn’t have a TV) and he’s probably why my Mom bought me a ukulele for Christmas that year. Then, 20 years later I got to meet him! We hadn’t prepared anything together. One of the writers […]
Rabbi Walker and I discuss the emotions that go with pre-cancer, cancer treatment, and post-cancer. Tig Notaro is also a breast cancer survivor and did a very funny stand up routine about it. You must hear it. Someone who I don’t know posted this duet I did with Tiny Tim in 1995 on Conan! I’m so excited to see it. I don’t have a copy of it!

Malibu Dan Family Man release date is this Friday, Jan. 5, 2018. I play the mother in law! My husband is Eric Estrada who is awesome to work with, as was all of the cast. It was so much fun. A month free trial at Pureflix.com to see the show.
New Year’s Eve appearance on the new Huckabee show on TBN!!! Next time I hope Gov. Huckabee and his band play with me!!
I love chatting with Rabbi Walker! I’m now a regular on his live show! We cover every topic via . I’m on the last Monday of every month. Did you know Rabbi’s grandfather was a Rabbi also and lived in a village near Ukraine/Poland, just like the one in Fiddler on the Roof?!!! Cool!! Dec. 5, 2017 Jan. 30, 2018 February 26, 2018
…someone posted on Youtube. It’s from 1982-ish, not 1986. Oh, the good ol’ days! Before I was on Johnny Carson, SNL or any TV shows, Betty Fanning from William Morris sent me on commercial auditions. My first was for Supercuts, then this, the Gap, A & W, and an MCI commercial as far as I remember. Then, I stumbled upon… …this old clip also on Youtube. It was when I was on SNL. Probably around 1986-87. I was so nervous. […]
Had a blast ‘moderating’ Eric Metaxas’ hour live video of Livesigning.com. History is important. Learning is fun. We need some heroes of the faith in our day and age. Link here.
Thanks to Patrick Stockdale (Franklin Guitar and Repair) for his guitar expertise and helping me write the bridge, Stephen Burt, Jamie Maze; Becky Best for filming/editing, Luke Best for the great shot of the dog opening the door, Lisa for her smart dog, Colleen, Jim, Ellen, Jennifer, Melissa, Helayne, Aubrey, Mom, Riverbend Nurseries, Mrs. Morgan, and other friends for the great performances of their dogs and cats; and my late dog, blind Old Daisy, and new Hezekiah.
