TRACEY TAKES ON . . . SCANDAL (TV)
Summary
One in this comedy series showcasing the many talents of actress/comedienne Tracey Ullman. Each episode "takes on" a particular subject, with the versatile Ullman portraying a wide variety of characters in a series of sketches. This edition begins with Ullman talking about an ex-boyfriend trying to sell some dirt on her to the tabloids and features Ullman in, among others, the following segments: Fern visits the dentist for a root canal and finds herself feeling quite "satisfied" afterward -- possibly due to the novocaine, but possibly due to something shadier; Hope notes how some of her fellow college students were recently expelled for selling final exam answer keys, on the basis of a certain student journalist's expose; Sydney goes away to Hawaii where she finds herself having the time of her life -- that is, until she finds a pubic hair in her bed; Madame Nadja talks about once arranging a prince's "last bachelor fling"; Janie meets her young daughter's boyfriend, to whom she finds herself becoming quite attracted, despite its scandalous implications; and aging actress Linda Grainger talks about living in a "fishbowl."
