Minutes before showtime on a Tuesday night, Janeane Garofalo slides into the studio carrying a microphone and a backpack stuffed with research. On the desktop, she lines up provisions: a can of supercaffeinated Red Bull, a can of diet Sunkist, an enormous bottle of water.
Years ago, when they were scuffling stand-up comedians, Garofalo and her friend Sam Seder used to fantasize about having their very own radio show — perhaps on a pirate station broadcasting from a garbage scow off Rhode Island, Seder had suggested.

I never even heard of Jane-ane until I saw her in a movie about a high school reunion. She was endearing as the odd person, neither fish nor foul, in a group mindlessly pursuing naked materialism or pretending to.
I had never seen her before or since. I must have been sick (not drunk) when I saw her in that movie, since that is the only time I will watch
anything.
Now she pops up on what I call the Bevis and Butthead radio hour. I forced myself to listen a couple of hours a day for about a month, but I could stand only so much of juvenile name calling and hyperbole.
It gets old really fast, and there is nothing "endearing" about it.

Since women generally, when they get over their weight limit universally hide their knees, we might never know if she delivered on her promise (such as it was)...

Ms. Garafalo has not now, nor has ever been what I could consider a "comedienne" or "Stand-Up Comic", Publius.
I also think that HBO's "Left Of The Dial: The Rise And Fall Of Air America" is not going to help her non-existant fan base.
