This posting over at Perez Hilton made me sad. :(
It appears Rachel Dratch aka Debbie Downer, an SNL alumnus, is having trouble finding work.
Since SNL isn't funny, I don't watch it. Hence, I didn't know Dratch is no longer on the show. But I guess it's been tough times since her departure.
When asked what she's been up to at a March, 31, screening of Smart People, Dratch responded, “maybe you can tell me. I know you’re supposed to come up with fake stuff you’re doing. But honestly, I’m not doing much."
And then there's last month’s issue of Vanity Fair with its cover story--"Who Says Women Aren't Funny?"-- on women in comedy. It featured a dozen of the industry's top comediennes; but left Dratch off the list.
Her reaction: “dude, that was a dark day. I was like, 'Oh, there’s everyone I worked with.' It’s starting to get old. I’m starting to go crazy. I’m ready for a job.”
Dratch is so desperate at this point, she's ready to do the unthinkable.
"I'd do work with George W," she told New York Magazine.
No Rachel!!! Noooooo!

Oh I lover her when she did that skit with Drew Barrymore so funny. I think the reason why she hasnt got any offers is b/c she isnt cute....I know that was the elephant in the room.
Totally. That did cross my mind. That sucks!!!...a lot.
What a shame.
