Ana Gasteyer Appreciation Thread

I've always loved her. What is this new show?

Here you R3

Here is one more

Anna in the show, the girl can sing.

Ana & Seth

Loved her as Celine Dion and Martha Stewart

She’s n odd set of talents, which I mean in the best of ways. Seems like a smart, hardworking person. And funny as hell. Good for her.

More Ana & Seth...

Years ago she dropped out of the biz to have a litter of brats, and lost career momentum. I think she's brilliant but I wonder what she might have done? Still, it's nice to see her back doing stuff.

I'm willing to bet she's totally happy having made that choice, r13.

I really liked her on the TBS sitcom People of Earth. I was so sad when TBS renewed the show for a third season and then months later decided to can it.

I loved her on Suburgatory too.

I will always love her for her martha Stewart. And I say this as someone who is a huge fan of the mad tv ladies but didn't care for much of the modern crop of snl women ( with a few exceptions including gasteyer).

Sketch comedy's other Elphaba...

I stumbled upon her on TikTok and started following her. She rhapsodizes about the craft services on the set the Goldbergs. I haven’t decide yet if I might unsubscribe.

Schweddy Balls and Muffins

I swear, I’ve watched pretty much every episode of SNL since the 80s, and I don’t remember those Mrs. Attebury sketches at all! They were hilarious.

She was really good as the crazy ball-busting manager on Netflix’s Lady Dynamite.

One Mint Julip

She was one of the classic "SNL" castmembers who had it and got it, who came across as a comedic actor and not an acting comedian. She got into her characters and didn't seem to get a spot on the show because of some trendy voice or image gimmickry. Talented lady.

For Good...

I loved the married couple who were music teachers and the NPR ladies.

I liked the music teachers The Culps.

I love American Auto. If you liked Superstore (which I think was fantastic), you WILL love American Auto.

Loved her Bobbi Mohan-Culp homage to Joyce.

her husband looks like Alex Borstein playing the Gap troll on Mad TV, though I guess she didn't get knocked up by a random dude she met at a bar like Rachel Dratch. I liked Ana's characters on SNL but she never struck me as a leading-lady type. She's got squinty/beady eyes, as if she has Sami heritage like Renee Zellweger. According to Wikipedia, she and Chris Parnell auditioned for the Weekend Update anchor slots that went to Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon. I hate Fallon but that was probably the right call.

She’s talking about Winona Ryder stealing her candy in r8

Great set of pipes... I loved her Celine Dion and I'm always glad when she's got work because she's got actual talent. More talent than luck it sometimes seems but she's got a career of which to be proud.

I loved Superstore, I'll definitely have to check out American Auto.

I worked with her husband and he’s a doll. The workplace was toxic but he stood out as a nice, decent guy. And he’s cuter in person.

She was on Marc Maron’s podcast recently, it’s a great episode. She is funny as hell and very likable. She had him laughing his ass off the whole time.
