Lots on my mind this morning
Well, episode 2 of State of the Union has aired, and I thought it was great. Tracey was in fine singing voice tonight, as were her guests in the polygamist compound sketches; they included Julia Fordham and Vonda Shepard. I'm at work on the guide and commentary for the episode and will post it in a few days.
Also showing up this morning is a profile in H magazine. There's not much that is new in the profile, but she does talk about the first time she appeared on the Tonight Show: '“Here I was, 20-years-old, on this show with these crusty old people, and I’d never sang live in my life,” she recounts. “I thought I’d be singing into my hairbrush, havin’ a laugh, and they said, ‘No, there’s this guy, Doc Severinsen, and he’s gonna play your song.’ It was like getting your great-grandparents to play your song. It was embarrassing.” Ullman was able to redeem herself on subsequent, non-singing, return visits to the show. ' Personally, I really enjoyed her first visit to Johnny Carson's show. Her next visit to the show is tonight, coincidentally; this will be the last time she'll appear on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno as host. Will she appear on his 10 PM show? Will she appear on Conan O'Brien's Tonight Show? Time will tell.

2 days to go
There are now 2 days before the season premiere of State of the Union. More articles and reviews are showing up on the Web and in papers, including USA Today and Bloomberg News. And Tracey had a good appearance on The Early Show this morning, appearing in 4 segments: at the end of the news at the top of the second hour (commenting on Lindsay Lohan's latest difficulties), the next segment following (her main appearance), at the bottom of the hour (rabbit ears for all!), and helping to model a striped scarf.
Now there is word that she will be appearing on The Tonight Show on April 20. Of course, I shall be looking forward to this.
Update: CBS has posted her appearance from this morning, and you can watch it here or read about it here.
