Tracey Ullman is what an actor ought to be: take a trope and make it flesh. She is utterly good she is.

This title is total click bait. Tracey was NEVER Marge Simpson and never says she was in this interview, she just does an impression of Julie Kavner, who voices Marge. False title!!

Michael Lugo In 1989 in Australia, I first saw a short Simpsons skit before "Turner and Hooch" at the cinema when they would sometimes show a short film with the previews. It was quite bedazzling with its striking colours, distinct voices and edgey humour. I think people were in a state of shock and rapture and were left thinking "What WAS that?? Did I just imagine that?"

Yes, we remember. Some of us actually remember reading Life in Hell before the Simpsons started. I wish Tracey's show had lasted longer.

Ha ha, makes me feel old that I actually remember all this. (Of course, Tracy wasn't ever Marge, Julie always was, but it's wild to think most people may not know how it got started)

Am I missing something? She doesn't say she's the original Marge, she says Julie (and Dan Castellaneta), who worked on the Tracy Ullman Show, volunteered to do it. That's Julie Kavner who still voices Marge today.

She sounds like Whoopi Goldberg.

I remember .. with a big smile, her (Tracy) video for her hit, "They Don't Know"..and one scene in particular where she's driving and as was the fad back in the 80's or earlier, some people had their name and the name of their boyfriend/girlfriend. across the top of their car windscreen. Paul McCartney was in the seat next to her, no dialogue just "Tracy and Paul" on plastic, across the top of the windscreeen.. Great song as it happens and very funny video which still exists on You Tube.

i remember watching Tracy's show and waiting for the bit with the Simpsons cartoon. Always looked forward to it.

In an interview, Dan Castellaneta said that he mimicked Walter Matthau's voice for Homer initially, but it was too difficult to maintain it.

One of those rare occasions its an all British cast...

Title of this video is incorrect, Tracey Ullman was never Marge's voice and she doesn't say it here. They just started on her Comedy Show. A little ploy I think to get some views, but fair play it got me to watch!

i remember it well, the simpson's were an instant hit. the characters were so different and over the top.

I remember seeing it on her show as a kid, scared me a bit they seemed creepy to me in their rudimentary form lol.

To be around watching the Tracey Ullman show and seeing the simpson bits knowing that one day it would make great trivia and then here we are years later making myself feel old...

I remember her show, didn't watch it religiously, but she was very comical...., and introducing the Simpsons to the world was HUGE since1987. Who knew, and what would the world be without The Simpsons?!! I shudder to think.

How humble for such a powerful talent.

That Julie Kavner impression is really spot on

Wow, she does a good Julie Kavner impression.

I used to watch the Tracy Ullman Show as a a young adult. I remember the early Simpson's and all the funny skits Tracy and her Cast would do. Go Home- Go Home

Yes I did know that Graham Norton & thank you for asking :) It premiered that episode when I was in junior high school/8th grade as a pre teen & have been watching it ever since *happy sigh*

Take a look at the eighties. THere's a reason James Brooks waited for two years for her to have a baby and then come back to work. Nobody else could have pulled off a show like this. Comedy of course is in large part subjective, but Sam Simon has worked with some of the biggest talents around and says that she is one of the all time television greats. The guy may have been nuts, but I'd take his opinion over people on the internet. Even though I often don't find her laugh out loud funny, although I don't find much of anything laugh out loud funny right now. Most celebrities tend to have both big egos and be quite insecure so what is said here really doesn't mean much, but thats kind of true, define what 'credit' actually means. Its sort of like Frazier being a big hit, but you don't give credit to Ted Danson for it. I think she gets plenty of credit without it.

I remember watching her show and seeing the Simpsons here and there.. Brilliant woman!

Search "Conan O'Brien The Simpsons" on here. It'll come up with an interview Conan conducted a while back with a bunch of Simpsons writers from past and present. They say that Tracey Ullman hated the Simpsons shorts and wanted them off her show, only later to claim credit and try to sue them for it when The Simpsons became huge. One of the writers (I think Jay Kogan) says that she used to say the exact same thing which she says here, that she "breast-fed" The Simpsons.

@@rachelarriaga2264 LOL, It certainly would not have taken food from the creators, and as Sam Simon, one of THE creators said, they all got fabulously wealthy from a cartoon, so thats just ludicrous. It would have taken SOME money from the Murdocks, which I'm fine with. And I tend to listen to THE creator of The Simpsons, Sam Simon, who talked about Ullman as one of televisions greats, which by now she has certainly proven herself to be. Its doubtful she ever really cared for it, lots of women in particular don't care for it, and of course nowadays hardly anybody does. The lawsuit was more than a decade after the show had been on, so its pretty likely that the money it was earning had lawyers working for just a percentage to say "well, why NOT give a lawsuit a try?" A mark of her professionalism is that unlike most people, she DOESN"T badmouth the show, in fact for about two decades its been more of an embarassment that if anything she'd avoid being associated with. Meanwhile, every show she does gets critical acclaim and she's performed with the best talents in the industry. " In 1991, Ullman filed a lawsuit against 20th Century Fox alleging four counts of breach of contract. According to the , the 14-page complaint alleged that Ullman’s contract with Gracie Films (Brooks’s production company) entitled her to “five to 10 percent of the net receipts of the merchandising and other profits from products or programs based on spinoff characters, including animated characters, even if those characters were originated by others.” And since began on , she argued that she should be entitled to those profits."

I remember watching those little Simpsons shorts on her show.

"Who knew" indeed.

"Love you to death" is a seriously under rated film she was in in the early nineties. If you 'find it' its worth watching if only to see Keanu Reeves and William Hurt as drugged out assassins and Kevin Kline overplayed italian accent.

How does RALPH FIENNES not have an OBE or an Oscar! I’m baffled.

The Simpson's first premiered on the Tracey Ullman show, but she didn't create them, Matt Groening created the characters, and it was the cast of the Tracey Ullman show who voiced them, while I assume they were being paid as cast members of the Tracey Ullman show at the time. So I think from a strictly "who created the simpsons" question, then it was Matt Groening, but Tracey Ullman gave them their first public viewing, through her show. So they wouldn't have had a pre-established audience without Tracey Ullman.

3:27 She sounds like Bobby Hill trying to do an Impression of Marge Simpson

First watched tracey in 'Girls on top' 1985 when I a lil kid. Then she left and smashed America.
