Career
Laura Kightlinger also played the title role in the comedy television show The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman (2006), which she created, wrote, and executive produced. From 1994 to 1995, she appeared player for Saturday Night Live (SNL) and also appeared in the Tenacious D (1997) episode called “Angel in Disguise” like a groupie.
Asked how much of the series was based on her personal experience, she said: “I think like 85% and then the other 15% is the experience of a woman. We usually collect a lot of stories about what happened to us and our friends, so I’d say a lot of it is. I constantly feel like rejection is my fuel. That’s what keeps me going.”
Kightlinger has had three stand-up comedy specials on the basic channels, including HBO and Comedy Central. She appeared as Gwenn in the 1997 comedy film Who’s the Caboose? starring Sarah Silverman and Sam Seder.
In the 2000s, she made a short film called Dependable People. The film earned both the Black Maria Film Festival Director’s Citation and the International Festival of Cinema and Technology Best New Director Award in 2002.
