In the first episode of our new series for BUST TV, we get to hang out and chat with the brilliant Tracey Ullman over some knitting. Liz Armstrong talks to Tracey about some of the characters she's developed for the new season of her Showtime series, Tracey Ullman's State of the Union. While Laura Bush, Arianna Huffington, Rachel Maddow, Christiane Amanpour, and Ruth Madoff all in one room together would already make for fun viewing,  Tracey manages to contain them all within a single person -- herself! Here she discusses how she develops her characters, what she would like to see for women in the future, and, most importantly, how to cast  on.

 

Don't miss Tracey Ullman's State of the Union, Mondays at 10:30pm, only on Showtime.

Liz should cheat the camera a little more (look towards it without turning your head all the way away from the subject), but everything about this was great. I hope there are more soon.

Yay! This absolutely amazing. Funnily enough, I've been watching State of the union for the last week, and so this is a perfect cap to my Tracey Ullman marathon week.

PS. My inner film nerd is delighted with the jump cuts at the beginning.

Thnx for this, can't wait for the next one.

Jesus that Liz girl is appaling. What was the point of her? She literally sat there and nodded like some wide eyed sycophant and played with her hair like a little girl.
