My admiration and adoration for Monica Lewinksy knows no bounds — she, quite literally, made the bounce back of the century. While she stepped away from the public eye after the Clinton-Lewinsky affair, when she did come back, she made sure it was with a vengence!

So when I heard that the next season of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's acclaimed anthology series, American Crime Story, would revolve around Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton, I was a tad bit wary...

...but after watching the trailer — and seeing that Monica Lewinsky is a producer — my interest SKYROCKETED!

Producer credits for Impeachment: American Crime Story

As stated above, this season revolves around the Clinton-Lewinsky affair, BUT the focus is on Linda Tripp and how her actions affected Lewinsky and Clinton.

Those very tapes aided Paula Jones — a lawyer — and Ann Coulter — a conservative pundit — in their public legal actions against President Clinton.
