Laura Kightlinger

From 1993.

YES! Loved her ever since I first saw her on Will&Grace. I actually squealed out loud when she popped up on PEN15 earlier this year.

I only know her from the appearances on Will and Grace. Loved her dry delivery.

YES. I loved her series The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman starring (and written) by her and the oldest girl from The Nanny as a boozy drunken slut. Hilarious series.

She was on the same SNL season as Janeane Garofalo, 1994/1995. Similar styles.

Did Jack Black suffocate her career?

R6 Ha, that's what I'd like to know. She was his girlfriend for a while.

I went to college with her. She's a doll. She was a model before she started doing standup.

R8 Here she is in 1986, during her college years.

Her new husband is young enough to be her son. Good for both of them.

R8 How much work has she had done? Does/did she wear wigs/weaves/pieces/extensions?

R3 Yes, she was Nurse Shelia.

I love her. The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman was gut bustingly funny. I still remember the episode where she starts taking Adderall and gets her life together but becomes completely boring. Such a good show.

She’s unbelievably talented and funny. I wish someone should give her a show for her to write and run.

R13 She made this short film with her husband.

She was in Roseanne.

Photo of the husband please.

Here he is.

'Jackie Woodman' was screamingly funny

Her voice reminds me of Geena Davis. They should play sisters!

R19 I would watch the bejesus out of that!

Comedy writers on DL! Get to pitching!!

As a writer and consulting producer on Will & Grace for years, she was largely responsible for the wacky humor on there.

R22 "2 Broke Girls" as well.

re 2 Broke Girls - If Laura is responsible for making Sophie the new Kramer she loses a LOT of points. The show became unwatchable

R23 She didn't.

Figured she was a model before/

R17, that account is private.

R26 It wasn't when I began following. He has a Twitter account, as does she.

[quote]The show became unwatchable

"BECAME" unwatchable? It was unwatchable from Day One.

Her appearances on Conan are up on his website.

I recall her stand up days (mid 90s?). I didn’t always love her jokes but I loved her style.

She dabbles in women. Husband loves to watch. it's a convenient arrangement.

R31 Trolling, trolling, trolling.

R32 Maybe it's true.

She does have a unique delivery style. I've always liked her. Sorry to hear about her involvement in "Two Broke Girls" . You could tell that show was shit from a 10 second spot.

R34 Gotta pay the bills somehow.

Her HBO special is a classic.

One of my biggest crushes growing up. That voice.

Cougar.

Is she a les?

R39 No, she dated Jack Black and is married to a younger guy.

She kind of looks like Jacquelyn Smith, especially in the short film at R14.

R41 Cute.

What's her breast size?

Any hair/wig gossip?

[quote] Any hair/wig gossip?

R45 Harsh

I'd say she makes a comfortable living.

She should do a tour with Janeane Garofalo.

Even now in middle age Laura is too hot for Janeane to permit the comparison.

R49 Laura's had some work done, don't you think?

Halloween.

Didn't she date someone who was also on SNL around the same time as her?

R52 Not that I know of. She did date Jack Black.

She likes them young.

Kightlingerholics Unit!

Still a looker.

R56 That hair!

Just saw her in the credits for tonight's "Will And Grace". She's listed as a "Consultant Producer".

Was she wearing a wig in her HBO special posted by the OP?

Underrated.

My second favorite after Janeane.

She's usually at UnCaberet in L.A..

R62 Ah, Beth Lapides thing.

She's beautiful and I love her sarcastic tone-of-voice.

R64 How about the hair?

[R65] I love her hair as well. I don't care if it's real or fake.

R66 Yep, she has party hair. Hope she gets one more round as Nurse Sheila.

*Purty hair.

Party hair says it better.

R69 She actually wore a wig as Nurse Sheila for one episode.

R70 That is a killer wig.

She tried to shave five years off her age:

R72 yep, and I've been editing her Wiki to get it right.

Hi, Laura!

R74 Haha.

Seriously, why fudge your age anymore?

Weird.

Laura the cougar.

R78 God, I love her.

Loved her Marcia Clark on SNL.

Love her in PEN15.

LK is so likable and funny, I can even forgive her for her involvement in that gone-in-a-flash sketch comedy series from 15 or 20 years ago that starred Blowsanne (name of the show escapes me at the moment.)

Are you a big fan?

R82 Loved the wig she wore.

Laura wears wigs?

Would love to see another stand up special from her.

Geezus christ, the wig comments are making me LOL.

R87 Why? Do you know her?

Her few lines in the Will and Grace reboot were the only parts I found funny in that entire thing. Something about a gay baby.

R89 Did she write those?

R87 Why thank you, I really appreciate that.

R88. Why would I know her? I don't run a ratty Korean wigshop.

R92 Laura wears wigs?

I crushing on her in that shirt in OP's video.

R90 No idea, but her nurse character was the character who delivered them. She just seems cool.

R95 Well then she definitely did then.

She was hilarious as a cougar in an episode of Workaholics, wish she hadn't gotten the nose job or whatever she did though. She didn't need it, and it was a little off-putting the first few times I saw her post-procedure.

R97 What did she have done? I've always wondered that.

To me it looked like she had a nose job and maybe fillers or an eye job, but I'm not sure. I just know it was noticeable (and not in a good way) when I saw her in that Workaholics episode after I'd not seen her on TV in a few years. I can't imagine she needed anything done, she was always attractive and as one poster pointed out, she was a model at one point. That doesn't stop attractive women from butchering there faces into ugly territory though, in fact it's probably part of the reason why.

Bump.

God, look at all those hair changes.

Bump.

Does Laura wear wigs?

R108 Wish I knew.

Here's a recent podcast with Laura and Laurie Kilmartin.

Sorry, that was the wrong link.

R111 Ha, she went on a date with Larry David.

Bump.

THANK YOU! I've loved her for years, first as a stand-up and then as an actress. She needs to develop a show for herself and control it. I like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler but I don't understand how Laura isn't playing on that same or higher level....

R114 She just seems to be very low key.

Her face is all distorted now, but she was once quite pretty. She’s still talented.

R116 No, her face has settled. She overdid the fillers.

R116 But does she wear wigs?

R118 Ask her.

So seduxtive.

She should get a wig like the way her hair was in her 1996 HBO special. It looked great.

Soooooooo Hoooooot.

How many wigs, if any, does she own?

Bump.

I heard her weed addiction killed the Jackie Woodman show from getting another season. She became impossible to work for/with.

R125 Tell me more. This is the first I've heard this.

That's all I know. She is or was a stoner. Doesn't mean that's still the case. If you work for NBC you're going to be on your most professional behavior and do your job (Will and Grace). But with Jackie Woodman, Laura was the boss, so she could set the tone.

(I know a woman who literally smokes non stop all day long, so I could see how this could get in the way of the discipline of writing and producing a show. )

The guy I know about quit the show because of the problems behind the scenes. These were his allegations. Could be bogus and Comedy Central didn't want to pick it up and that's all.

She should do a reboot for Netflix, because that show was funny.

R127 It was on IFC, not Comedy Central.

R128 Does she wear a wig, and take it off when she's stoned?

Bmup.

I'd give her tits a honk.

R131 Ugh.

R132 Whoops.

Next Sunday!

R134 Hot Hot Hot!

Bump.

Hump.

Well now.

Has she ever had her wig ripped off?

R139 Does she wear them?

Two days until her show.

The show is tonight!

Last night.

R143 Looks a bit wiggish. What do you think?

R144 Can't tell with the light.

R144 Real hair.

She married a guy young enough to be her son? Seriously?

Laura appeared on RuPauls Christmas Special inn 1993,

R148 Were there wigs involved with her?

R149 Yes there were.

R150 Damn, she's hot.

Recent photo of Laura and her husband.

R150 That was great.

She's still around.

Still performing too.

She'd look good bald.

Follow her on Twitter if you haven't.

Bump.

She's at UnCaberet a lot.

Norm MacDonald said that she was supposed to be his Weekend Update co-anchor.

Curious about her hair.

R161 Looks real to me.

She'll be coming to North Carolina next month. Yank on her hair then.

Great comedian.

Laura was always the Too Hip Hipstress.

OVAH!

R163 YES!

Bump.

I'd give her tits a honk.

I guess her appearance at the N.C. Comedy fest is cancelled.

R169 Sadly yes.

She's on Will And Grace tonight as Nurse Shelia.

R171 Loved it.

Loved her - underrated. I miss her a lot.

R173 Ever see her standup?

R174 - that's all I remember is her standup. I remember she had one special where she was outside at a phone booth and was pounding the phone as she was trying to spell her name to the operator. I taped that one and watched it over and over.

She's my kind of gal - and her humor is very Gen X. Like Janeane Garofalo. Both of them struck a nerve in the 90's.

I heard she was in a LTR with Jack Black and went behind scenes to do writing, which makes sense. The comic road tour playing smaller clubs is grueling. I don't think anyone can do that for more than 5 years without wanting to GTFO and stay in one place.

R175 There are tons of Janeane Garofalo threads on here.

Does Laura wear wigs or pieces? Her hair still very full.

Bump.

Yum.

Hot.

Bump.

Follow her on Twitter.

Bump.

Does she wear full wigs, or just clip in pieces?

Jfc, what's with all the wig talk? Is it just two people? Do you have a crawlspace stuffed with wigs? Fucking weird. Anyway, Laura, you're amazing.

R185 Nah, Laura has a nice mane that looks too good to be true sometimes. We love her, and wish she was in more things.

Bump.

R185 Do you know Laura?

Wish she'd tweet more.

Honk.

Bump.

I'd give her a bump.

To think she almost married Jack Black.

R193 Haha.

Bump.

Wish she'd do more.

R196 She did this back in September.

I wanted to LOL but the OP's special disappointed greatly.

She is using vulgarity to help prop up her lamer jokes.

It didn't work for me.

R198 What? There was barely any profanity in her special. And her Conan clips are clean and just as funny.

Post #200

Bump.

Great tweet.

From 1991.

R203 Damn, she is hot.

Bump.

Brand new interview with Laura. No hair/wig talk,

Bump.

Whoah.

Another one. Look at that hair.

Is it true Jack Black dumped her while she was in the hospital?

R210 No, where did you hear that?

I just remember she'd had some kind of surgery that the way she described it sounded like a jaw expansion they do for people with sleep apnea and she was dating Jack at the time.

R212 Yeah, they didn't break up then.

Fine R212 She implied he was less than supportive and often not there when she needed him, how's that? If you want her exact quotes Google is your friend.

Bump.

For fuck’s sake, this thread has been bumped more times than my anus. And, every time I think the woman has died.

Good shoes.

R216 Laura is eternal, she'll never die.

Anybody see her lately?

She's a goddess.

Any gossip/stories/experiences?

She's on "Curb Your Enthusiasm" tonight as Albert Brooks' girlfriend.

This Saturday!
