Now that Cheri Oteri is pursuing movies and television, I have a new favorite female comedian on Saturday Night Live. Rachel Dratch first appeared on SNL in a skit titled "Crosstalk" where she did her famous Calista Flockhart impression. But it was her impression of Helena Bonham Carter as Smurfette and her impression of Marcy (Peppermint Patty's friend) got me to thinking...you know, this girl is going to be one of the greats. I think that she will be the next Cheri Oteri. But I don't mean that she is like Cheri...I believe Rachel has her own style.
COOL FACTS ABOUT RACHEL
-One of her jobs was to dress up as Tweety Bird and stand outside of a Warner Bros Store.
-The weirdest job she says she had was working at a mental health center running groups for long-term schizophrenic patients.
-Her contract at SNL is for seven years, and that featured player status now lasts two years instead of one.
-Her brother was a lawyer, but now writes for "The Chris Rock Show"
-She majored in Drama and Psychology at Darmouth.
-She planned to go to Boston to be a therapist if she failed with comedy.
