‘Saturday Night Live’ Alum Victoria Jackson Says Her Cancer Is Inoperable

“I’ve had a fantastic life,” Jackson said in a video posted to her Instagram.

“Update on the cancer: they cannot operate and cut out the marble in my chest that is laying on my windpipe and would eventually suffocate me to death,” she said with a giggle at the beginning of the nearly 8-minute video. “Cancer Update: I have 34.8 months to live if I don’t get hit by a meteor, shot by a MAGA hater, get Covid again, or WWIII breaks out.” (Jackson has become a conservative and religious activist in recent years, often sharing Bible scripture and praising former President Donald Trump on social media.) After revealing the unfortunate news, the comedian—who was on SNL from 1986 to 1992—still maintained a positive tone, telling her followers that she’s had a “fantastic life.”
