An appealingly brash stand-up comic and actress in the vein of Sarah Silverman, Natasha Leggero enjoyed regular appearances on numerous sitcoms, talk shows and comedy specials throughout the 2000s, including "Chelsea Lately" (E! 2007- ) and "Lucas Bros. Moving Co." (Fox 2013- ). The Illinois native studied acting in New York before heading west to try her hand at the entertainment business. Once in Los Angeles, Leggero's saucy comedy made her a favorite commentator on countless programs, as well as a guest performer of choice on animated and live-action shows. However, she remained a supporting player until 2014, when Comedy Central picked up not only a new sitcom starring Leggero, but also her second stand-up special for the network. The network's faith in Leggero underscored her status as one of the most popular mainstream comic talents in the business.
