On this surprise free edition of Wasn’t That Special, we interview six-year cast member Victoria Jackson, who has plenty to say about the behind-the-scenes drama during her time on the show.
Wow! What a great interview. I can't help but think that there was some subtext to her commentary on Jan Hooks, her inability to "be herself," and the very difficult struggles Jan had post-SNL. Also a little surprised that Dennis Miller didn't get along with her better. He certainly faked it well on screen.
Scot: A question I wanted to ask, but ultimately decided not to, is why the writers couldn't figure out an original recurring character for Jan. Outside of the Sweeney Sisters, nothing really. I figured Victoria probably wouldn't have had a better answer than we did.

Also was surprised by the Miller reply!
