Victoria Jackson relies heavily on the persona that defined her time on Saturday Night Live: a breathy, wide-eyed ditz who strums a ukulele and unexpectedly drops into gymnastics. The comic performs her signature handstands while reciting poetry and delivers a distinct routine about marrying the devil, all filtered through a high-pitched delivery.
Filmed in 1998 and aired in August 2000 for the third season of Comedy Central Presents, the 22-minute set caught Jackson during a transitional career phase. Following her 1992 departure from late-night television, she took roles in films like UHF and was co-starring on the Comedy Central sitcom Strip Mall. Today, the broadcast is primarily known as a piece of lost media, remaining entirely absent from official streaming archives of the network.
