Personal life

Garofalo was born in Newton, New Jersey, daughter of Joan, a secretary in the petrochemical industry who died of cancer when Janeane was 24, and Carmine Garofalo, a former executive at Exxon.[2] Garofalo is of Italian/Irish descent. She grew up in various places, including Ontario, California; Madison, New Jersey; and Katy, Texas where she graduated from James E.

She struggled for a number of years, working briefly as a bike messenger in Boston.

Entertainment career

Comedy

The winner of numerous comedy awards and recognitions, she officially began her career in stand-up comedy in the late 1980s during the pre-grunge era. Her appearance was often in line with very late 1980s style: disheveled with thick black glasses and unkempt hair. Her comedy is often self-deprecating; she has made fun of popular culture and the pressures on women to conform to body image ideals promoted by the media. When in San Francisco, Garofalo was a frequent guest at the San Francisco Comedy Condo. B. J. Novak in a stand-up comedy routine at Olde English sketch comedy in June 2007. ...

Garofalo's comedy shows involve her and her notebook, which is filled with years' worth of article clippings and random observations she references for direct quotes during her act, and uses current events to enhance the improvised, fully conversational aspect of her standup. Garofalo feels she does not tell jokes but makes observations and hopes to get laughs. In her act, she once told of getting mugged of her backpack that contained her comedy notebook. "So, if you see two Cholos bombing at the Funny Bone chain, that's them". Garofalo and comedian Marc Maron helped organize the weekly alternative Eating It standup comedy show, with different line-ups each week, which played for years at the Luna Lounge in New York's Lower East Side before the bar was finally razed. Later Garofalo and Maron would again work together during the creation and early days of liberal radio network Air America Radio. For the Choloa language, see Emberá languages. ... Marc Maron (b. ...

Television

Her television series debut was on the short-lived The Ben Stiller Show on Fox in 1992, on which she was a cast member alongside longtime friends Ben Stiller, Bob Odenkirk, Andy Dick and David Cross (who was a writer on the show). A chance meeting on the set of that show led her to be offered the role of Paula on The Larry Sanders Show on HBO, earning her two Emmy Award nominations in 1996 and 1997.

Following The Ben Stiller Show's cancellation, Garofalo joined the cast of Saturday Night Live (SNL) in its ill-fated 1994-95 season, as detailed in Tom Shales' book Live From New York: The Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live and mentioned in Jay Mohr's Gasping for Airtime: Two Years in the Trenches of Saturday Night Live. Upon arrival at SNL, she gave an interview in which she called fellow cast member Adam Sandler's comedy "childish". Writers on the show expressed dismay at Garofalo's apparently negative attitude, dismissing Garofalo as insecure. In one instance in Live From New York, Garofalo complained of suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (after hearing a pitch for a sketch about an army of alien fighters being sexually molested one by one by the unseen aliens inside the spaceship--a sketch that actually appeared during the season in an episode hosted by Deion Sanders) and drinking a lot during her tenure. In the same book, the other writers cited that she rarely assisted in writing sketches, never doing an "all-nighter" for a skit unlike several cast members. In an HBO comedy special, Garofalo described her tenure on SNL as "being the Indian given the blanket infected with smallpox by the cavalry." This article is about the American television series. ...

The tense, bitter atmosphere discomforted Garofalo, and she left in January 1995 (mid-season) after only six months, claiming that the material was weak and a sexist attitude pervaded the show. The material on SNL at the time was widely deemed mediocre, and other writers, such as Bruce Vilanch, have stated in interviews that many male members of the show frown upon women and homosexuals. Garofalo said "everyone" was unhappy during her tenure, not just women. In Shales' aforementioned book, she is quoted as saying of SNL executive producer, "Lorne Michaels prefers the house divided." Sexism is discrimination between people based on their Sex rather than their individual merits. ... This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Post-SNL

Garofalo has done many special guest star roles, including a former girlfriend of Dave Foley's character in Newsradio. She also has been offered many television series roles but has accepted few; she turned down the role of Monica, for which she was the first choice, on the hit NBC sitcom Friends. Two television pilots starring Garofalo, the 2003 ABC show Slice O'Life about a reporter consigned to sappy human interest stories appearing at the end of news broadcasts, and the 2005 NBC program All In, based on the life of poker star Annie Duke, were not picked up by their respective networks. Her persona, thanks to her Larry Sanders character, provided the basis for the lead role on Steven Levitan's Just Shoot Me!, though the part was taken by Laura San Giacomo.

Films

Garofalo's first critically-acclaimed[4] starring role in film was in 1996 in The Truth About Cats and Dogs, a variation on Cyrano de Bergerac which featured Uma Thurman in the top-billed but smaller role as a beautiful but vapid model, while Garofalo played a highly intelligent radio host. Initially an independent film, it became a studio movie when Uma Thurman was signed to play the shallow model. The film was a modest hit, but Garofalo detests[5] it to this day, calling it anti-feminist (and admitting discomfort in the "ugly duckling" role).

She became more prominent as an activist when she voiced opposition to what became the 2003 Iraq War, appearing on CNN and Fox News to discuss it. She said that she was approached by groups such as MoveOn.org and Win Without War to go on TV, because these organizations say that the networks were not allowing antiwar voices to be heard.

But there's no evidence that he (Hussein) has weapons of mass destruction. There's been no evidence of him testing nuclear weapons. We have people that are in our face with nuclear weapons. We've got Iran and North Korea. We've got a problem with Pakistan. You know, I don't know what to say about that. There's a whole lot of people that are going nuclear.
