My Funny Julie Andrews Speech On Video

Categories: Celebs

Remember my appearance in the show You Like Me, where I re-created Julie Andrews's immortal speech declining her Tony nomination for the Broadway version of Victor/Victoria?

Well, above is the whole three-minute video capturing it in all its breathy elegance.

It's really fun or I wouldn't be sharing it here for the world to see.

For once, I got real laughter and applause without begging for it -- that much.

But now I'll have to give a speech as myself apologizing for saying Robin Williams instead of Robin Wagner.

I was as nervous as a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman!

Victor/Victoria was pretty terrible compared to the movie.

It didn't deserve multiple nominations.

Julie was trying to make the show the victim while exuding a fake nobility. It was so false!!! Who really though that Tony Roberts and Michael Nouri deserved nominations for that????

I LOVED your performance, which wasn't mean at all, just saucy.

"She did the right thing"?????

It was done for publicity, to help the show. They made a decision to call the camera crews and have her make this statement as a way to get press off the Tonys, which they weren't going to get with nominations or awards.

It was the least gracious thing imaginable, performed with oozy faux graciousness that made it extra hideous.

Why do you insist on making fun of her speech?  She did the right thing and stood by her husband and the company of the show.  It's called "class."

You're the same asswipe who defended Tracy Morgan. You know nothing about class.

Somewhere between La Andrews and Dame Edna. And that ain't bad.We, the "egregiously overlooked," thank you.

PS: I was able to have my cheat sheet as I delivered the speech because that's the way Julie did  it!!

The best thing about it is that I remember that speech and every word is verbatim.

Very dry. You were in control. You took your time and got all the laughs. Nice!
