One of the more jarring moments during a chat with Victoria Jackson had nothing to do with her far-right convictions.
Near the end of a roughly 45-minute phone interview, the former "Saturday Night Live" star abandoned her trademark Betty Boop voice to do an impression of an older Jewish woman who has smoked too many cigarettes. Even though I knew it was coming, I was half-convinced that a stranger had cut into the conversation.
I told her afterward that she had given me a jolt.
