'SNL' alum Victoria Jackson dines on decades-long beef with Alec Baldwin

Saturday Night Live Graduate Victoria Jackson hit out at Alec Baldwin for calling her breasts “garbage cans,” intensifying a feud that dates back to a negative encounter at Baldwin's home April 1990: SNL hosting gig.

About “Fly On The Wall” by former colleagues Dana Carvey and David Spade On Wednesday's podcast, Jackson confronted the hosts about Baldwin's comment he made on her show last June.

“We need to talk about Alec Baldwin,” Jackson said, “Because he was on Fly On The Wall, he said my boobs looked like garbage cans.” When Spade and Carvey asked her what he meant by that, she said, “That is what I want to know.”

Baldwin described “the only time I broke down was when we made it.” SNL” when he visited the podcast last year. “Victoria Jackson is there and she's all dressed up – and her breasts are like two garbage cans sticking out in your face,” Baldwin said last year.

Spade and Carvey suggested that Baldwin may have been complimenting the size of her breasts, but Jackson disagreed and also objected to Carvey telling Baldwin in that episode that Jackson was trying not to “fall in love with him.” when he moderated. “That’s not how I remember it,” Jackson said Wednesday.

Additionally, she believes Baldwin objected to what she wrote about him in her 2012 book: Is my bow too big? Jackson described what she wrote about “Wasn't That Special: 50 Years of” by Christian Schneider and Scot Bertram SNL Podcast earlier this year. In 1990, “Alec sat next to me on set and asked me why my breasts were so big,” she said. “That’s rude and caustic and inappropriate.”

“I didn’t know if he was flirting with me or if he was being mean, it was kind of a mix,” but “I think he heard about it [the book] and Alec has been mean to me ever since.”

Since Jackson is an outspoken far-right conservative and fan of convicted sexual abuser, former President Trump, Jackson believes Baldwin “probably” targeted her because “our political views are opposite, and.” I also said that when he does an impression of Trump“He has hate in him,” she added, “so he probably read that.”

Baldwin, for his part, has not publicly responded to the anecdote from Jackson's book – but Jackson insists that, despite Carvey's statements, she has never expressed romantic interest in him. “I didn't say 'I'm not going to fall in love,'” Jackson said on “Wasn't That Special,” “That's Dana's twisted, weird memory.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Jackson told the story of how “political correctness” led to her being dropped by her agent, which she said effectively ended her stand-up career in the 1990s.

When opening up to other people SNL At the time, she alum Joe Piscopo said she sang “this little song called 'White Men are Good,'” which she unfortunately sampled on the podcast. “White men are good / My father was a white man / My brother is a white man / White men invented everything / White men invented universities / White men invented the English language,” she sang to nervous laughter from Carvey and Spade.

“I sang this song and the audience was like this [gasp]” she said, because it was the beginning of a time when “you weren't allowed to say things,” even though “white men had a bad reputation,” Jackson said. “They told my agent at APA and she said, 'I can't send you out anymore.'”

Jackson, who recently announced a fatal cancer diagnosis, has barely worked since then. But as she told her former cast mates this week, “I wanted to quit anyway.”
