In today's episode, Becket Cook sits down with SNL legend Victoria Jackson to discuss her new coffee table book "Not Dead Yet: A Lifetime of Handstands, Art, and Poetry." The former Saturday Night Live star shares hilarious stories from her career—including her iconic handstand poetry on The Tonight Show, Gap commercial auditions, Playboy Mansion adventures, and memorable SNL sketches—while flipping through dozens of her lifetime handstand photos from childhood gymnastics to the Eiffel Tower.
Victoria opens up about her stage 4 breast cancer battle, faith journey, writing poetry since childhood, and her deep commitment to sharing the Gospel. The conversation also touches on touching moments like her thoughts on Charlie Kirk's recent martyrdom, family life, and performing her witty original songs like "Bimbos and Bikinis." A fun, faith-filled, and inspiring interview packed with laughs and encouragement.
