- Caption: Molly Shannon as Gail von Kleinenstein in Wet Hot American Summer (2001)
- Description:
MOLLY SHANNON (Gail) will be seen next in David Zucker's "The Guest" (starring with Ashton Kutcher and Tara Reid). Last summer, in addition to "Wet Hot American Summer," she was in Peter Chelsom's "Serendipity" and the animated/live-action "Osmosis Jones."
Shannon's other film credits include Ron Howard's blockbuster "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," Bruce McCulloch's "Superstar" (in which she starred in the title role), Raja Gosnell's "Never Been Kissed," Harold Ramis' smash "Analyze This," Todd Solondz' "Happiness," and John Fortenberry's "A Night at the Roxbury."
She spent six seasons on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" as a member of the repertory company. There, she became nationally known for her impersonations (of Courtney Love, Liza Minnelli, Monica Lewinsky, and Meredith Vieira, among others) and her eclectic range of original characters. Of the latter, her Mary Katherine Gallagher was a highlight among the revitalized ensemble.
Prior to joining "SNL," Shannon appeared at The Up Front Comedy Theater in Los Angeles in "The Rob and Molly Show," an improvisational show with Rob Muir which she co-wrote. Her television credits include guest appearances on NBC's "Will & Grace" (in a recurring role) and "Seinfeld"; and on ABC's "Twin Peaks." - Actor/Actress/Director: Molly Shannon ( photos )
