‘SNL’ Alum Victoria Jackson Reveals She Has an Inoperable Tumor in Her Windpipe, Tells Fans: ‘I’ve Had a Fantastic Life’

As a cinema enthusiast with a deep appreciation for the art and the artists behind it, I am deeply saddened by the news of Victoria Jackson‘s battle with an inoperable tumor. Having grown up watching her hilarious impressions on Saturday Night Live, I can’t help but recall the laughter she brought into our living rooms every week.


Victoria Jackson, a former cast member on “Saturday Night Live” from 1986 to 1992, announced on social media that she has been diagnosed with an inoperable tumor in her windpipe. She explained that doctors are unable to perform surgery to remove the growth that is pressing against her windpipe, and eventually it could block her airway leading to suffocation.

“Jackson mentioned that her treatment includes a special capsule being sent to her house soon. This capsule contains Ribociclib and is expected to reduce the size of the marble, fingers crossed… I searched the pill online, and it appears that those who use this medication typically have around 32.6 months left to live.”

Jackson shared with her audience that she’s lived an “extraordinary life” and mentioned certain achievements she hopes to experience while still being alive. In 2016, she had publicly announced her battle with breast cancer. (Paraphrased)

As a film critic, I eagerly anticipate the arrival of my grandson, Jimmy, in October. I’m looking forward to forming a bond with him and getting to know him better. Additionally, I can’t wait to witness my daughter, Aubrey, becoming a mother.

During her tenure on “Saturday Night Live”, Jackson frequently graced the screen on “Weekend Update”. She was renowned for her diverse range of impersonations, encompassing figures like Roseanne Barr and Zsa Zsa Gabor. Additionally, she amassed acting credits in shows such as “The X-Files”, “In the Heat of the Night”, “Sesame Street” and others. Jackson’s filmography includes movies like “Family Business” and “The Matchbreaker”, among several other titles.
