Very Very Exciting News

The ferociously talented Tracey Ullman is doing a new sketch comedy show!!!
Showtime announced on Wednesday that the funny Brit would be coming to their network beginning in March. And, in a first for Ullman, she will be skewering celebrities and pop culture. Yay for us!
The Emmy winner's new show, Tracey Ullman's State of the Union, is a new sketch comedy series that "takes a satirical look at a day in the life of America."
TRACEY ULLMAN'S STATE OF THE UNION will feature a kaleidoscope of original characters and impersonations in a wide collection of irreverent and hilarious skits that range from sardonic parody and social satire to Bollywood musicals. The limited series is a snapshot of modern day America as seen through the brilliant comedic mind of Tracey Ullman. Tracey tackles the country's celebrity-obsessed, 24- hour news culture by portraying a variety of characters from celebrities such as Cameron Diaz, Renee Zellweger, Dina Lohan, Tony Sirico and David Beckham to politicians and pundits like Nancy Pelosi and Arianna Huffington. Additionally, Ullman has created a new line-up of original characters that reflect a cross-section of American society from an Indian pharmacist to a homeless woman without health insurance to a soldier on temporary leave from Iraq.
OMG!!! We can't wait to watch Tracey take on Dina Lohan!!!
The limited series of five half-hour episodes will premiere on Showtime, March 30th at 10:00 PM ET/PT.

YES!!!!!!! AWESOME!!! I miss Tracey Takes On.. This sounds like it will be even better!!!
this is the best news I've ever read here! Intelligence coming to TV? How quaint.
I met her once years ago…actually had to serve her…and she was such a BIOTCH! I have boycotted everything and anything with her name attached. Hideous woman. Sorry had to put in my two cents.

Tracey Ullman is so witty. The French and Saunders show also pokes fun at celebrities. Do they air that in the States?
Why isn't this filed under Anglophilia? Don't you know she's English?
YES!!! I LOVE TRACY ULLMAN WITH A PASSION!
Welcome back, Love!
She is quite funny, but does anyone else think that her face looks a bit pasted-on?
HEY PEREZ!!!! CHECK OUT ROSIE'S CURRENT BLOG. SHE SAYS SHE SPENT A MOMENT WITH YOU ON THE BEACH IN MIAMI….AND SHE ALSO ANSWERED A Q FROM ME!!!!! I TOLD HER HER PORTRAYEL ON QUEER AS FOLK WAS INSPIRING…RMBR THAT? SHE SLUNG HASH AT THE DINER. SHE SAID THE CAST WAS AS MUCH FUN AS THEY LOOKED!! SHE ANSWERED ME! HOLLA! TO THE LEFT TO THE LEFT
It sounds exactly the same as Little Britain by Matt Lucas and David Williams… but with the US
funny tho.
xxx
Oh, wow!! I can't wait to see this. Tracy's hilarious
Uh wait, when the hell did she get tits that big?
FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC! She is so incredible. I have not watched much tv in a while becuase it is all crap. This is GREAT news. I need to dust off my tv.
Cool!
Finally, something decent to watch on the telly!
LOVE HER…can't wait
Yes! Love her!!! XOXOXO
wonderful
Hot damn! Most of today's kiddies probably don't realize that The Simpsons started on the Tracey Ullman Show! I watch reruns of Tracy's Takes On whenever I can find it. This IS great news.
Yay! Tracy is brilliantly funny! I love that song she sang, They Don't Know About Us in the 80's. Kickin'!
I love her! She was great in A Dirty Shame among other things.
Awesome news! YAY!
David Beckham is part of English culture not American.
Ugh. When will people realize that women aren't funny. Especially Tracey. Yea this makes sense, hire an Englishwoman to do a show mocking everyday life in America. Boooorrrrrriiiinnnnnggggg.
How could she resist, with all this material to choose from lately? Go Tracey.
Re: johnnyballz – No, it's just YOU who aren't funny, johnny.
Yes it would be funny to see her take on Dina.. I think cameron diaz would be funny to watch too. Cos I cant stand how immature she is. I watched some of tracey takes on.. i liked what i saw. Her doing celebs and wannabes should be great fun.
She's very good, although her americanized shows hasn't been as great as those she did in the UK in the 80's.
For gods sake, Tracey Ullman PLEASE do not lip sync those old hit songs you had in the 80's on every fucking episode of your show! After hearing "They Don't Know About Us" for the 30th time, once every show you are allowed to get tired of it.
I was wondering the other day where she's been. Thanks for the info Perez!
OMG Perez, you're running a photo of a woman with ACTUAL intelligence visible in her face!!!!!!!!
Oh my EYEEEEESSS!!!!!!!! The PAIN, the PAIN
Give us a warning before you DO that, crissakes, so we can put on shades.
Our eyesight is so used to the dim-wattage dullness of Paris, Britney, Ashlee, Jessica, Lilo, Kim, etc. etc. and the robotic dullness of Angelina, Katie, etc. etc. and the idiotic pictures and catch-phrases of the paps that our eyes have grown to resemble something akin to Gollum.
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE SHOW (with shades on)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY!!! SHe is brilliant, so talented, and extremely funny. I have been waiting for this to happen! We were just watching some "Tracy Takes On" Videos over the holidays and I was my family I and were all saying how she needs a new show. So much out there is dumb dude comedy. make way people!
she really is brilliant. I am so sick of all the dumb-dude comedy. Make way people– for this very talented, HILLARIOUS actress! YAY!!!
Yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope this means her old shows will air as well. Have sorely missed them. (And Her)
Home grown British talent. You go girl!
YESSS..i was telling someone about her and her show on hbo it was histerical!!
i love tracy wooohhh hoooo
I love her hilarious korean donut shop owner, so racially sensitive Tracy!
Seriously, has any woman in the world got a bigger ego than this one? She can't even make one character funny, let alone 900.
Give it a fucking rest you hideous Brit Hag.
She is very talented but rumor has it she is not a nice person at all. Not polite and not respectful to the people who work around her. Watch out Perez- she will come after YOU- and that might be flattering, but she won't mean it in a flattering way. She will mean it in a very petty, mean way. You might want to save your praise.
All the money in the world can't make her a hot item on Perez.
Least comments ever.
Sorry Tracy, your feeble attempt to buy page hits by having lackeys type for you is full of FAIL.
If she's talented then I'm an effin' genius! I HATE Tracey Ullman and do not think she is ferociously talented-maybe at being ferociously UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tracy Ullman is a comic genius! Yeeeeah! I am so sick of the adolescent humor passing off as good comedy these days. Tracy Ullman is hillarious, and brilliant. I can't wait!
Hmm sounds a bit like Little Brittian only in the US. Can't they come up with an original programmes?
love her!
Yay! Was wondering where she went - watch when I was real young. She has so many personalities.
YAY
where have you been Perez? They have been promoting this show since 2007.
Must be too much Britney in your system.
Does Any1 Else Think She Looks Like She Should Be Kerry Katona's Mum?
too bad its on showtime
YAY Tracey is a comic genius! I can't wait to see what she has in store for us. She can sit there and do nothing and manage to be hysterical.
