Victoria Jackson may have a ditsy sounding voice and appearance, but she has more brains and courage than most of Hollywoood combined. God bless her!

SNL Season 13, Episode 1 (1987).

Dennis Miller: And now, with a sociological introspective on the state of women today, here is Weekend Update correspondent Victoria Jackson.

Victoria Jackson: Thank you, Dennis! [ sighs ] It seems absurd to me that, in 1987, the only women making headlines seem to be religious airheads, party girls and political strumpets. And then I just heard that Suzanne Somers is returning to prime time. These women have set back the feminist movement twenty years, and I, for one, am outraged!

Dennis Miller: [ chuckling ] Victoria, I cannot believe that you're outraged, with your image.

Victoria Jackson: What are you saying, Dennis?

[ breaks into song ]

"Just because of the way I look
Just because of what I wear.
Just because of how I act
And how I fix my hair.
You think you can label me
But don't you dare.

'Cause I am not a bimbo!

So I giggle when I talk
So I wiggle when I walk.
I got extra body fat
You gonna call me bimbo just for that?

Just because my voice is high
And my attitude is light
It doesn't mean that I'm not serious
I read Newsweek twice last night!
So why should I be
The brunt of your jokes, your mockery?

When I am not a bimbo!"

[ spoken ] I know how to work a Xerox machine, and it's really complicated. I know where the dipstick of my car is, you know when the engine is broken? I'm not stupid, I'm the opposite! Okay, I read my horoscope. But I don't always believe in it. I may be pruciferous. I may be vacuous. But I am not a bimbo. It has a negative connotation, or something.

"I am not a bimbo!"

[ jumps on desk, removes skirt and dances for Dennis' pleasure ]

I am not a bimbo!

So I dot my i's with hearts
And I sleep with a teddy bear.
It doesn't mean that I'm not smart
I know all about the ozone layer.

You see, I am not a bimbo!

You know that the Second Law of Thermodynamics says the world is in a state of entropy?

Dennis Miller: Really?

[ music close ]

Victoria Jackson: Thank you!

Dennis Miller: Thank you, Victoria.

You know, folks, I'm not onyl the Hair Club President, I'm also a member.
