Tracey Ullman's State of the Union 'Edgier' Than Ever
By Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith
Jan 3, 2010

"Tracey Ullman's State of the Union" returns to Showtime Jan. 25, and look out! Fans of the multiple-Emmy-winning comedienne can expect plenty of bite in her humor along with the laughs. As one critic put it, she's been moving away from Carol Burnett territory and more toward Lenny Bruce. Ullman agrees that she has more edge.

So, what are her latest favorite celebrities to impersonate at the moment? CNN's Christiane Amanpour and MSNBC's "Rachel Maddow. Because she has a goofy laugh," says Ullman, mimicking the liberal commentator perfectly. She adds, ala Maddow, "I just really admire her. I love her show, and I think she's an intelligent, fabulous woman. My whole family has a crush on her."

1. Love Ullman and love Rachel and I so wish I could see it. It also may give Maddow even

more exposure--and that's all good, IMHO.

And she does have a goofy laugh, but I like it.
