My 15-Min of Fame

I did The Tracey Ullman Show when I was 13. It filmed Nov 1988 and aired Feb 1989 on FOX. I am the "klutz in the glasses", and yes, those were my real glasses. Sadly, they were quite fashionable at the time, but they did get me some extra airtime.

This is the part I am in. There was about 7 more minutes of the sketch before this. I have it, but didn't want to load the whole thing.

Paula Abdul was the choreographer for the show. The week we filmed, her song, Straight Up, made #1.

Let's see how long this video will stay up...The show hasn't been released on DVD because of some legal issues (see explanation in comments).

The music is the legal issue. The Simpsons are not the problem. The Simpsons shorts were official released on VHS back in the 90s. The music sketches are all copyrighted, and like a lot of DVD releases today, they have to replace the music, since the contracts for releases didn't include DVD.

Thanks for the info...I got the video from a big TU fan a year or so ago and he was speculating why the show had never been released.
