Is janeane garofalo gay

Reality does not bite here at Dyking Out because we are joined by ICON Janeane Garofalo! Yes, we’re talking about Carolyn’s #3 crush, in studio to dyke out about asexuality and so much more. Janeane lets us know why she’s not watching the Oscars, tells us how the TV sausage is made, gives valuable life advice, dishes on past roles…and we are HERE FOR IT. As we get into the topic, she shares that people have always mistaken her for a Jewish lesbian, which she OF COURSE takes as a compliment. And we discuss why asexuality as an identity may be different for everyone because there are no unyielding an fast rules. Finally, we wrap it all up with a doubt from a listener who identifies as asexual but doesn’t know how to tell for sure if she’s also queer.

Coming of age in the prior 90s, despite the pimples, high university dramas and usual teenage pitfalls, was that much easier thanks to celebs like Janeane Garofalo. While she had been honing her bright stand-up for years, it would be her roles in classic flicks like Reality Bites that would cement her as a kind of Grunge-era icon, especially for brooding brunettes like me who were admittedly looking for someone – anyone – who had something inspiring to tell about womenkind.

It was actually a superb era for that – one that would usher in musicians like Liz Phair, launch all-female indie rock tours and would position, in Garofalo’s case, this insightful actress and spoken synonyms performer on par with the men on the scene.

Garofalo’s trajectory has been just as telling. She’s spent the last few years digging into independent film and television projects (24 and The West Wing), continuing her comedy and becoming a politica

For two decades, trivia listings on Wikipedia, IMDB and other websites listed Janeane Garofalo as married. Despite her many jokes and serious statements over the years on stand-up comedy stages, TV shows and other appearances to the contrary, in which the comedian and actress claimed she’d never get married, Garofalo had been married for 20 years — to her then-boyfriend and writer on The Ben Stiller Show, Robert Cohen.

Joke or no joke, their whim to wed in the drive-through lane of a Las Vegas wedding chapel counted.

Garofalo and Cohen finally annulled their marriage over the weekend, announcing it to a packed crowd Saturday night at The Paley Center for Media in New York City during the reunion of The Ben Stiller Show‘s cast and writing staff. “We were married for 20 years until this evening,” Garofalo said.

The couple had dated for about a year back then, before deciding to elope in a double-ceremony. Show writer Dino Stamatopoulos and his lady were in the front seats; Cohen and Garofalo, in the back. “But now he’s getting married for real,” she said.

Looking through the café, I didn’t recognize her at first. I didn’t expect the tattoos on her forearms and Joan Jett haircut, or the well-worn T-shirt and jeans, and ankles crossed beneath her chair. She looked like a student—nose in a guide, wielding a highlighter to mark significant passages.

Most people are familiar with actress and comedian Janeane Garofalo from The Correctness About Cats and Dogs (1996), in which she plays a radio talk-show host who falls in love with a guy who, because they haven’t met face-to-face, comes to believe she looks like Uma Thurman. Garofalo is also known for her self-deprecating stand-up comedy shows.

Lately, Garofalo has been making waves in a whole different ballpark. Her outspoken stance against the U.S. war on Iraq has made her a target of criticism, ridicule, and e
