Emmy Award-winning Tracey Ullman brings her signature brand of spot-on impersonation and comic to State Of The Union, a new sketch comedy series every Tuesday at 7pm from October 7 that takes a satirical look at a day in the life of America.

Ullman's series is a one-woman travelogue of American fame, folly and misfortune. The show features a kaleidoscope of original characters and impersonations in a wide collection of irreverent and hilarious skits that range from sardonic parody and social satire to Bollywood musicals.

Ullman channels dozens of characters, and her mimicry is uncanny. She impressively shifts from Hollywood A-listers to invented oddballs, across genders, ethnic or cultural lines and age.

Ullman tackles the country's celebrity-obsessed, 24-hour news culture by portraying a variety of characters from personalities such as Cameron Diaz, Renee Zellweger, Dina Lohan, Tony Sirico and David Beckham to politicians and pundits like Nancy Pelosi and Arianna Huffington.

Additionally, Ullman has created a new line-up of original characters that reflect a cross-section of the American society, from an Indian pharmacist and a homeless woman without health insurance to a soldier on temporary leave from Iraq.

This hilarious original series is a snapshot of modern day America as seen through the brilliant mind of Ullman.
