Janeane Garofalo

Janeane Garofalo wears tights, loves dogs, and is one of comedians to whom the alternative comedy movement is attributed. Her performances at Un-Cabaret and Luna Lounge not only inspired a generation of comics, but landed her roles on The Ben Stiller Show, The Larry Sanders Show, and Saturday Night Live. Much of her comedy is political and she formerly co-hosted Air America’s The Majority Report with Sam Seder. Her latest stand-up recording If You Will and is available on DVD.

Did you know that the average homeless person would rather listen to Sklarbro Country than use a LeBron James jersey for warmth? How can you blame them, with The Sklars bringing in fantastic guests like Janeane Garafalo and Snoop Dogg?!? The guys peel back the layers of alternative pin-up girl Janeane Garafalo, going from her friendship with Eddie Vedder during the inception of alternative comedy, to her wealth of knowledge regarding sports and reality television. She gives some comedy advice to those out there writing iTunes reviews, and gets to the psychology of athlete relationships. As if that wasn’t enough, Snoop Dogg visits the country and talks a bit about the VMA’s and the state of hip-hop. Enjoy the newest features: Douchebag of the Week, and Quick Hits!
