Julia Louis-Dreyfus was a cast member on SNL in the '80s, but she didn't completely enjoy her time there. Here's why she disliked working on the show.

She's not particularly funny. She was lucky to be on Seinfeld and rode with it. She's also an heir to the Dreyfus family fortune and didn't have to work if she didn't want to.

This seems oddly familiar. I always got the impression watching her work, that the process was more about the spotlight than the audience. This story confirms that.

She's also another one of those far left liberals who complains that Republicans are greedy but held out for $1 million an episode on Seinfeld.

She was notorious for being the face and front-man for various activist causes on the left coast.

Some of the causes I agreed with. But she was just into so many of them that it at times seemed suspicious. Wondering if she was just an attention wh*re.

She was very young, and the drug use would be disturbing. Nice that she bonded with Larry David. She sure went on to have a big career.

She was hired at a time when lady comics didn't get a big part of the show. I'm not surprised she wasn't happy there.

I think it's that plus this air of self-importance, as if she's doing the world a favor by opening her big mouth.
