Lisa Lampanelli
is known as Comedy’s Lovable Queen of Mean.  This equal opportunity
offender is a regular on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and Howard
Stern’s Sirius satellite radio shows, and she has appeared  on “Late
Show with David Letterman,” “Chelsea Lately,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” “The
Dr. Oz Show” and “Good Morning America.” She was also a member of the
cast of NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice,” Season 5 cementing her rise as she
joined 17 other celebrities on the newest season of NBC’s “Celebrity
Apprentice.” This fifth installment of the show, with the largest-ever
lineup of famous faces competing for charities of their choice, was a
ratings bonanza for NBC.

In 2009, Lisa entered the ranks of comic greats and premiered her
first ever one-hour HBO comedy special, “Long Live the Queen,” to
tremendous ratings. That same year, her autobiography,
“Chocolate, Please: My Adventures in Food, Fat and Freaks,” hit
bookstores to critical acclaim.  Lisa is well-known for her many Comedy
Central and Friars Club roasts. She has lambasted Jeff  Foxworthy,
Pamela Anderson, David Hasselhoff, Betty White, Donald Trump and Flavor
Flav to name a few. Plus she was honored to serve as roastmaster on the
Comedy Central Roast of Larry the Cable Guy. Lisa’s second one-hour
special, “Dirty Girl,” was nominated for a Grammy Award for 2007′s Best
Comedy Album of the Year.  In 2012, Lisa was thrilled to be cast as Aunt
Josie in the highly anticipated feature film debut from “Sopranos”
creator David Chase entitled, “Not Fade Away,” starring James
Gandolfini.  Lisa also stars as a series regular on “Bounty Hunters,”
CMT’s first-ever animated show. Currently, Lisa is making a departure
from her signature “insult” comedy with her first developmental theater
production, Fat Girl Interrupted, to show a side of Comedy’s Lovable
Queen of Mean that few would guess exists.
