Share-y O'Teary: The Insider's Hailey Glassman (left), SNL's Cheri Oteri
Michaels should at least get her for a quick cameo. Only the delightfully twitchy Oteri could truly do justice to spoofing Jon Gosselin's 22-year-old "soul mate," Hailey Glassman. As the once-arrested party girl simultaneously wept, apologized, ranted, squirmed and tittered this week on the entertainment news show The Insider, Glassman unwittingly channeled the tragicomic essence of Oteri's spasmodic splendor. It made me all tingly for the days of yore when Oteri let it all hang out while portraying desperately dingy characters such as "Simmah down nah!"'s Nadeen, the Spartan cheerleader, talk show host Cass Van Rye and Collette Reardon, "Medicine Woman." (She also did bitchin' impressions of Judge Judy, Barbara Walters and Debbie Reynolds.)
Tracy Morgan, simmah down nah! Lorne Michaels, bringah back nah! Cheri Oteri, make us laugh nah!

I've always loved Cheri Oteri....mainly for that cheerleader!
I was not aware of "Medicine Woman", but now I'm a big fan of that character as well. Again, thanks!!!!!
I had to figure out who H.G is (yeah, as I said, thanks, a lot, 'snicker'), but I agree, Cheri could 'do her'.
Enjoy your writing!
