Mary Lynn Rajskub Biography
A dark-haired performer who has made a her name in the industry with an original take on high-concept comedic stage productions as well as notable TV and film acting skills, Mary Lynn Rajskub proved a versatile and dynamic player. Appearing in extensive productions on stage in California, Rajskub started out as a San Francisco Art Institute student who found her comic side in performance pieces that played upon her skewed sense of humor and knack for bringing out the laughs in uncomfortable situations. Noticed by comedians Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, Rajskub was cast on their HBO concept comedy sketch series “Mr. Show with Bob and David” in 1995 and remained with the program until 1996 when she switched to the network’s “The Larry Sanders Show”, replacing friend Janeane Garofalo’s character as the show within a show’s new eager to please and often inappropriate booker.
