Emmy Award-winner Tracey Ullman brings her signature brand of spot-on impersonation and comic timing to State of the Union 3, the latest series of this comedy sketch show that takes a satirical look at a day in the life of America.

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 British stars unexpectedly making it big across the pond - a snapshot of modern day America. In this brand new series Tracey tackles the country’s celebrity-obsessed, 24-hour news culture by portraying a variety of characters. In episode 1 Penelope Cruz promotes her movie based on the life of her good friend Salma Hayek. Episode 2 sees ‘Octogranny’ Angela Suleman as she attempts to cope with the eight new additions to her family and Candy Spelling does her best to change her image and patch up her relationship with daughter Tori. Kate Winslet mulls over her movie choices in episode 3 and Caroline Kennedy wonders how she can get her cultural mystique back in episode 4. In episode 5, overnight British singing sensation Susan Boyle meets with agents to plan her American tour and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy visits the White House with some gifts for the First Family. Episode 6 sees newly appointed Supreme Court justice, Sonia Sotomayor settling into her new job and in the final show, Debbie Rowe talks about her children and Arianna Huffington and some other famous talking heads stop by the Rachel Maddow show.
