12 Days to go

It's now 12 days before the premiere of season 2 of State of the Union. The two long clips (2 1/2 to 3 minutes long) that are on the official SOTU Website are now playing on On Demand on cable. I was able to watch the premiere episode of season 3 of The Tudors on demand, and that looks to be as good as ever. Will the first episode of SOTU season 2 appear on demand? I hope so. What little I've seen so far seems hilarious.

In an interview with Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith recently, Tracey commented on her impression of Renee Zellweger being popular with everyone -- except Renee, who thought she looked like her (Renee's) brother in drag. The impression is back this season but probably not in the future, she said. She also mentioned being on the receiving end of a parody by the Spitting Image puppets back in the '80s -- "pretty rough", she said.

Behind the Scenes of SOTU Season 2

As the season premiere draws closer, Showtime has posted a behind-the-scenes video for season 2 of State of the Union. Among the characters we see via short clips are Dina Lohan (her clip cracked me up!), Asma Qassim (Malawi's top movie star), Linda Katz-Cohen (publicist for the Dalai Lama), Tom Brokaw, Seth Rogan, Tony Sirico, Padma Perkesh, Granny Cyrus, Arianna Huffington -- I can't remember them all! It's available on Showtime's official SOTU site, and it's also available right here:

Another new SOTU Promo

Another new promo for State of the Union has started appearing on Showtime, and it's been posted on the official SOTU Web site. It features a wonderfully literal application of the Billy Idol/Generation X song "Dancing With Myself": Tracey's pulled into scenes of her own program and is dancing with herself -- or, we should say, her selves, the other characters.

Here is the promo:
