Janeane Garofalo
Janeane Garofalo was born on 28 September 1964 in Newton, New Jersey.
Whilst a student, Janeane Garofalo won a comedy talent contest and the title, funniest person in Rhode Island.
After graduating in history, Janeane Garofalo pursued a career in stand-up comedy, but also took odd jobs to support herself.
In 1989, she moved to Los Angeles.
One of Garofalo's most important life events was meeting Ben Stiller. She shared a couple of projects with him, including the sketch show, The Ben Stiller Show.
Garofalo joined a couple of heavy-hitting TV shows in the early to middle 1990s: Saturday Night Live and Michael Moore's TV Nation.
Later on, like Michael Moore, Garofalo would take an active stance against the war in Iraq.
No stranger to speaking her mind, USA Today explained her early departure from Saturday Night Live due to falling out with producer Lorne Michaels and publicly criticising the humour of Adam Sandler as childish.
