Episode 855 - Tracey Ullman

Published: Oct. 15, 2017, 5:14 p.m.

b'On a list of the world\'s funniest people, Tracey Ullman ranks pretty high. But Tracey tells Marc she doesn\'t consider herself a comedian or a comic, but rather a\\xa0character actor. The fact that she started performing as a way to cheer up her widowed mother means she\'s always trying to find sympathetic notes in the characters she\'s creating, with an\\xa0ability to mock and humanize simultaneously. Tracey and Marc talk about her TV shows, her family, The Simpsons, and her\\xa0brief pop music career that led to a friendship with Paul McCartney.
