What Is ‘SNL’ Alum Victoria Jackson Up to Now? Details

Her recent remarks, in particular, aren’t sitting well with audiences. As one person tweeted, “If you were wondering what happened to Victoria Jackson from ‘SNL’ 30 some years ago (you weren’t), she’s a hateful bats–t crazy person who spews judgmental nonsense at town halls.”

So, what did Victoria say during this meeting that caused so much commotion? Keep reading to find out.

“God hates sodomy. He hates homosexuality. He said it’s an abomination. And God hates sexual immortality. All kinds. And God hates pride,” said Victoria during a city council meeting in Franklin, Tenn. on April 11, 2023. At the time, the council was holding a discussion regarding holding a gay pride parade.

“Like, one of the most things he hates is pride,” she said before beginning to cite Bible verses.

“Proverbs 11:12: When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished,” Victoria continued, adding, “Proverbs 16:18: Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.”

As she was being dismissed from the podium, Victoria encouraged “this generation not to be brainwashed,” and told them to watch YouTuber Becket Cook’s videos.

Victoria has been a proud conservative Christian her whole life. In an August 2022 interview with the Star Tribune, she admitted that the strong views she holds may have cost her some work in the past.

While she only spoke highly of SNL’s executive producer Lorne Michaels, who once allowed her to back out of a scene that poked fun at prayer, there did seem to be some conflict during her six-year stint on the weekly variety show. She explained that former writer, Al Franken, who later became a Minnesota senator, once pulled her aside to discuss her behavior and tendency to play dumb.
