>>> where did they find this comedic talent, and why hasn’t she been seen anywhere before?
She has been around for a while. On Mad Men she was one of the trio of switchboard ladies, and was even on the Man Show for a bit. She has also done a lot of work as voices for cartoons.
I just saw her on a Farrelly movie with Ben Stiller. Heartbreak Kid. I thought it was funny in a mindless sort of way...
