Nancy Grace Under Fire

Click to return to TMZ.comImpressionists have long been lampooning public figures like presidents, rock stars and actors. But it seems the latest target of flattery (isn't that what they say imitation is the sincerest form of?) is none other than Nancy Grace.

The acerbic talk show host and former prosecutor has been parodied on three different shows in just the past two weeks alone.

On Monday night's "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," the biggest sketch of the night on the fictional show within a show was a Nancy Grace sketch in which Grace tried to get to the bottom of a shocking story ... about a college girl who lost her cell phone.

"Saturday Night Live" took a swipe at Grace in their October 7 show with a "Nancy Grace Show" sketch in which Grace probed deeper into the Mark Foley scandal -- while also trying to figure out who moved her chair.


"I think someone moved my chair," "SNL" star Amy Poehler says several times in character

Meanwhile on FOX's "Justice," their crime show within the show is hosted by a short-haired blonde woman, though a slightly younger version of our friend Nancy Grace.

And over on "Boston Legal," another show within a show is hosted by Gracie Jane, who comments on the cases that the law firm on the show handles.

"You have got to gag this woman," one character says to William Shatner's character.

"I would love to," he responds.

16. Did you all know that she used to be a judge as well as a proscuting attorney. Now there is a woman who has done more then any man could accomplish in one life time..She has done all this at such an early age, which means her IQ is much more higher than any of us, sitting here bashing her...No one should blame for a suicide,,these ppl have major issues that need to be dealth with,,,to blame another for such a selfish act is b.s.the easy way out, instead of dealing with the issues that problem them..Nancy Grace is a strong, intelligent woman and more men should be more like her,,,I'm sure her paycheck is higher than mine....Keep up the good work...Do not take the blame for someones misfortunes..Unfortunately suicide is a hard issue to discuss and would go further with this, but wrong site for my train of thought.....

17. i have met the woman in person... had her in my home, she is lovely and down to earth. she stands for victims rights, she has a reason too, she was a victim years ago. if only all of us would make an effort to make change, this sh*t hole of a planet would be a better place. who gives a sh*t about an accent... if that throws you then you are too stupid to watch court t.v.

18. As a Repulican, I would like to say.....

Nancy Grace makes my hair hurt. Can't stand her. Never met a defendant who wasn't guilty.

Thank you Eden for laying out her hypocrisy so I didn't have to.

Oh btw - L&O SVU did a nasty take on Ms. Grace last season.

19. #17, while I sympathize with whatever it was that you went through, this woman is NOT what she seems. If she helped you through a tough time, that's wonderful. However, her honesty is not above reproach and everything she states should NOT be taken as gospel.

There are people out there that love her, there are people out there that hate her. Where ever you fall on that fence, her untruths cannot be ignored; especially when it comes to legal proceedings.

How many convicted felons have been released because of shoddy prosecution?? Take a look on the web; the numbers will astound you.

20. #17 well said,,I agree,you are lucky to have known,this woman and actually have a intelligent conversation with someone who does know what there talking about..I did forget knowing she was a victim of crime,,,She took care of the bad guys by becoming a judge,,large accomplishment,,you go girl.....#17 nice statement..

12. Yo, #4, what does having sex (or 'gettin a dick up your ass') have to do with being a bitch?

Cause if Nancy Grace had a dick up her ass or poon she won't be actin like a straight up bitch.

29. Not A Fan - thanks for mentioning the Stephen King article...I read it online. Stephen King articulated perfectly what a lot of people think of Nancy Grace, me included!

30. Nancy Grace was born in 1958. Which makes her 21 in 1979. If her fiance was 5 years younger then her, he would be an under-aged 16 year old. I doubt this is accurate information.
I would want Nancy on my team if I needed a prosecuting attorney. She's fiery, and passionate. I like her determination.
As for mistakes she may have made in her career or in any other aspect of life...so have the rest of us...to error is human.
