5.2.3. Janeane Garofalo, Correspondent (TV Nation)
This season marks Janeane Garofalo's debut on FOX'S TV Nation,
which enters into its second season of production, its first season
on FOX. In addition, Garofalo currently appears as the acerbic
talent booker, Paula, on HBO's "The Larry Sanders Show." Her other
recent TV credits include "Saturday Night Live," where she was a
member of the 1994-1995 ensemble cast, and "The Ben Stiller Show,"
the Emmy-award winning series which ran during the 1992-1993 season
on FOX. Her movie credits include "Reality Bites," playing Winona
Ryder's dysfunctional roommate, and "Bye Bye Love," co-starring
Paul Reiser and Matthew Modine. Along with appearing in the film,
"Cold Blooded" Garofalo is presently collaborating with actress Uma
Thurman on the upcoming film, "The Truth About Cats and Dogs."
Her comedic instincts were unearthed when, as a high school
senior, she moved with her family to Houston, Texas from New
Jersey. She frequented The Comedy Workshop, one of the country's
preeminent experimental comedy clubs, as well as other local comedy
shops. Garofalo began performing stand-up comedy during her senior
year at Providence College. Shortly after graduating with a degree
in History and American Studies, she left Rhode Island and headed
west to Los Angeles, where she made her national debut on "The
Dennis Miller Show." She has also appeared on FOX's "Comic Strip
Live," and "MTV's Half Hour Comedy Hour."
