Rachel Dratch, late of Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock, is seriously one of the funniest women out there. However, she’s needing a job right now. Here’s what she has to say about being unemployed (basically, it sucks):
Rachel Dratch is learning it⿿s not funny being an out-of-work comedian. She left Saturday Night Live two years ago and then was replaced on 30 Rock. What⿿s she up to now? ⿿Maybe you can tell me,⿿ she said at a Smart People screening on March 31. ⿿I know you⿿re supposed to come up with fake stuff you⿿re doing. But honestly, I⿿m not doing much.⿿ After SNL⿿s hectic pace, isn⿿t downtime nice? ⿿It⿿s starting to get old,⿿ she said. ⿿I⿿m starting to go crazy. I⿿m ready for a job.⿿ The low point came, she said, when last month⿿s Vanity Fair arrived with its cover story on women in comedy, featuring a dozen top comediennes⿿none of whom was Dratch. ⿿Dude, that was a dark day,⿿ she recalled. ⿿I was like, Oh, there⿿s everyone I worked with.⿿ She⿿s not picky about her next gig. ⿿I⿿d work in a black-box theater company at this point,⿿ she said. ⿿I⿿d work with George W.” - source
