• Aside from occasional appearances on “The View” what the hell does she even do these days? I’m sure no one at CAA even knows who she is.

• No, she’s not. She’s gotten so many chances, and squandered almost all of them. Just because she was great on The Larry Sanders Show, it does not excuse her prima donna attitude all these years after.

  And I watched a reel of her latest work. As it stands now, no, I wouldn’t call her very smart. Drug addled, yes, smart, no.

• this is actually a smart sign…saw her recently and she looks terrific. icm is the perfect place – they have the resources and motivation to do a great job. they are actually truly getting in the comedy biz. not a bad sign at all. she is an under rated actress…let’s see what happens..

• She worked so much more when she was at Gersh. She is a great actress, not a movie star.

• Her “latest work”? Hasn’t that been calling every potential ticket buyer in the country a redneck, hillbilly racist Nazi? She’s so pissed off and bitter that I actually WANT the FBI to listen in on her phone calls.

• I would be willing to bet my next paycheck that every one of these comments came from someone who discovered this site via Drudge.

  • Wrong Pete. But then again I don’t really need your minimum wage check and your share of the tip jar.

    • Spoken like a true douchey, uptight, arrogant Drudge reader.

      Move out of your mother’s basement and go fuck yourself.

• Turns out she wasn’t the voice of Gen X post-feminism; Tina Fey was.

• Ms. Garofalo did a guest run on 24 last season, so I think somebody must know who she is

• She is a big draw on the road, colleges, etc and also a good name for concert DVD’s, specials, and TV casting. Maybe not impt enough to CAA but a good get for ICM.

• She’s just another delusional, hater who doesn’t know what to do with herself now that George Bush is gone and the country is being flushed down the toilet by her and her left wing, in over their head, socialist jackasses. A bunch who are beginning to realize that the world is a very dangerous place and that people want to kill Americans no matter who sits in the White House. She’s a washed up fringe lefty actress. If Hollywood Squares was still around she’d be a regular along with Charles Nelson Reilly. She’d be the bottom Square, all the way to the left.

  • DING, DING, DING….WE HAVE A WINNER!!

    Hilarious….even more so because it’s the most accurate statement here.

    Cheering over Janine Garofalo? HAHAHA…her career crashed into the side of the mountain about 8 years ago. Hey wait….so did her new agency, ICM!?

    A match made in Hollywood!

• I assume that Garofalo is box office poisen. However, she’ll need to make a film for us to be sure.
