Victoria Jackson, the six-year veteran of Saturday Night Live (SNL) ... you know, the one who used to walk on her hands ... was the only former cast member banished to the overflow room during the SNL 40th anniversary show earlier this week. Why? Apparently her political views did not jibe with the producer of this iconic show, Lorne Michaels ... see: Hollywood Reporter Article.
Does anyone remember the Hollywood Black List of the 1950's? Apparently not ...
In the same article: "In fact, Jackson was offered a seat in the main studio, but when she alerted NBC that she might arrive late, her seat was moved to a nearby viewing space so that she would not interrupt the live show." And several token cons (Palin, Trump) were seated in the main room. So there you go again looking to play the liberal bias card.
