My Take
Rachel Dratch earns my admiration as a pure comedy lifer. A Dartmouth graduate who, instead of taking a safe path, moved to Chicago to grind through improv at Second City and ImprovOlympic, she then spent seven seasons on Saturday Night Live and gave us the gloriously deadpan Debbie Downer, a character built entirely on killing a room's mood on purpose. That is real craft. She writes as well as performs, which only deepens my respect. She never traded on glamour; she went straight for the laugh, on her own terms. I love performers like her who let the work do all the talking.
