Not only has she has been in over 50 movies, but she was also on the cast of The Ben Stiller Show, The Larry Sanders Show, and Saturday Night Live. Garofalo actually married one of the writers on The Ben Stiller Show, Robert Cohen, as a joke. They didn’t think it would be considered a real marriage as they didn’t file it at a local courthouse. They figured out that’s not how it worked when Cohen went to get married again. They dissolved the marriage in 2012.
