The show’s creator, Jason Sudeikis, loves surprising us. He didn’t cast a predictable star. He chose a comedic genius who can disappear into any role. That’s a chef’s kiss move.
Ullman also brings a generational audience. Boomers remember her from The Tracey Ullman Show. Millennials know her from Family Guy. Gen Z? They’ll just think she’s a cool weird aunt.
She’s also a songwriter! Yes, Tracey can sing. Maybe Zelda will perform a musical number about tax evasion. I would watch that on a loop.
What We Don’t Know (And Love Not Knowing)
Is Zelda a villain? A hero? A magical fairy that grants biscuits? Keep it mysterious. The tease is half the fun.

We don’t know if she’ll be a one-episode gag or a series regular. Either way, she’ll leave a mark. Tracey Ullman doesn’t do small performances.
My bet? She becomes the team’s unlikely mentor. She’ll teach them to embrace their weirdness. Then she’ll steal the team bus for a joyride. Classic Zelda.
