Interview: Janeane Garofalo on 24, Henry Rollins, and Her Inevitable Run for Junior Senator of Minnesota

Categories: Interview, Janeane Garofalo, Sam McPheeters

"When Rush Limbaugh visited the set, and when Lynne Cheney visited the set, I refused to have my picture taken with them or meet them or anything."

janeaneCROP.jpg

Janeane Garofalo is known for biting standup, stints on SNL, The Larry Sanders Show and The West Wing, and her pioneering contributions to Air America Radio. But it was her 2003 opposition to the Iraq War that converted Garofalo into a high-profile target for right-wing nut jobs nationwide. Cut to 2009, and Garofalo is now a cast member on Fox's long-running torturefest, 24 (Irony? Brilliant career segue? Indicator of job scarcity?). Garofalo also continues her standup routine, performing five shows on April 17-19, at Comix ("Don't let the name fool you. It's actually a good room."). Recently, I spoke with her by phone at 8AM; only at the end of the interview did we realize that we were both on the west coast and had both woken early just to be courteous.

You suffered unimaginable right-wing abuse and death-threats in 2003. Now you're on the cast of 24. Was there a quid pro quo for that? Like 'I went through all this, so here are my demands'?

I was offered a good job. At first I passed on it because of the right-wing nature of a couple of the writers. But then I realized A) I'm not being me, B) I was unemployed, and C) a very good friend of mine is on it, Mary Lynn Rajskub. And she loves it there. There's only one or two right wingers in the whole show, in the writer's room. There's nobody else whose opinions reflect that in the cast or the crew. And then midway through when I was working there the main right-winger left the show anyway.

That being series creator and self-described "right-wing nut job" Joel Surnow...

Yeah.

I was curious about that. I understand Kiefer Sutherland is kind of quietly lefty and Mary Lynn Rajskub was on Mr. Show--so by definition she's completely awesome--but what were your dealings with Surnow like?

Actually, he was really a funny guy. He's completely right wing, which you just have to deal with and realize what you're dealing with. He himself, I doubt, believes half the shit he says. He's good friends with Rush Limbaugh, good friends with Lynne Cheney; part of it is brand loyalty. That's just sort of who he is, so he has to stick with the story as is given to him, by the people he hangs out with.

So it sounds like your relationship was closer to the playful back and forth banter of Patricia Heaton and Peter Boyle on the Everybody Loves Raymond set and less of a Nancy Kulp / Buddy Ebsen antagonism where you eventually run for political office and he takes out ads against you.

Exactly. In fact, I barely saw him. But when, on those rare occasions I did, he was extremely nice to me, and an extremely funny guy.

That is shockingly disappointing.

Now, having said that, when Rush Limbaugh visited the set, and when Lynne Cheney visited the set, I refused to have my picture taken with them or meet them or anything. I didn't want to make a scene out of it and not even go meet them in front of people. When somebody came to me privately and said 'do you want to meet them', I said absolutely not. But I would never have made a big show of it and embarrassed people who worked there. Not that they were interested in meeting me. And, to tell you the truth, I doubt that Lynne Cheney even knew who I was...

It's not funny, it's sad. These people are talking about great AMERICANS with disdain. The lack of class and education of people in the media is shocking. But, it's just a by-product of 30 years of liberal control of our education system. Thank GOD there are still parents out there not leaving all the education of their kids to the government controlled schools.

The stupidity and cluelessness of rightwingers is the really sad thing.

And what do you mean by "govermment controlled schools?" You mean public schools?
What're you in favor of, home-schooling by right-wing christians?

And yes, there are left-wing nutjobs, e.g., extreme Trotskyites, certain varieties of anarchists, Workers World Party. But they didn't run the government for 8 years, get us into 2 wars, fuck up the economy, etc.

Funny stuff from the Left's #1 demented hag. So Limbaugh and Lynne Cheney are Evil Incarnate and Creatures To Be Shunned.....but their good buddy Surnow? He's "completely right wing", of course, but hey, he signs her checks, so he's probably just - well - [i]faking[/i] his politics. "He has to stick with the story as is given to him, by the people he hangs out with".....y'know, to get along with everybody else in Hollywood. Yeah - that's probably it!

Didja catch her on COUNTDOWN tonight? The world's oldest campus progressive ramped up the rhetoric a little higher....now everyone who deviates from the DNC program is simply a flat-out dangerous hate-filled racist, end of story. I wonder what's preventing her from taking her reasoning to its logical conclusion and demanding mandatory fingerprinting and FBI surveillance of conservatives. I suppose she's still waiting for the last few 24 checks to clear.

What a woman. Courage [i]and[/i] gimlet-eyed pragmatism!

@JB why is that people attack higher education as constantly being "liberal?" If that's the way you think of higher education, either you 1. never attended, 2. dropped out, 3. need to reevaluate what an educational process is actually like, or 4. reevaluate what the term liberalism actually means.

I totally bet Janeane refusing "to have my picture taken with them or meet them or anything" probably hurt their feelings! I bet they were all like, "Awww! That fascist neo-progressive no-talent hack won't take time to sully our photo images with her vacuous expression! What will we do? WHAT WILL WE DO!?"

Boy, she sure showed them proper! What a warrior! If I were ever in a position where she said she "refused to have my picture taken with them or meet them or anything", I'd be flattered. It would also show some sense - finally - on her part...I know (or at least suspect) that she's a woman, but I'd treat her like any other man who can't say something remotely intelligent.

Garafalo adds absolutely nothing to 24. Pee Wee Herman would be a better choice in terms of personality appeal and contribution. The sooner she's gone from 24, the better. Maybe Jack Bauer can use her as a human shield.

DarkMetal says:

In a way I really pity Garofolo for her hatred of all that she doesn't understand. Rather than try to understand Conservatism, she hides amongst her far Left buddies shielded from all she fears. Her loathing of people she cannot fathom is decidedly anti-intellectual; she needs to have a talk with true Liberals like Camille Paglia who walk and talk freely with those they don't always agree with, but have the confidence to question their own beliefs. The minute that poor Janeane senses Conservative thought she cowers in her dressing room grinding her teeth...how sad.
A powerful mind does not fear that which they don't agree with, they challenge it and have little to fear of it, and sometimes they see that they are not ALWAYS right. Garofolo cannot bear even the most minor scrutiny, even if it means shaking the hand of someone like Rush Limbaugh.
Limbaugh himself met Bill Clinton and respectfully joked with him and called him "Mr President", not because he believes what he believes, but because he does not fear it, and also respects the office.
Janeane needs to learn class, at least.

Why is this woman still talking about...anything. I don't know what's worse, that she thinks she has something insightful to add to political discourse or that there are other people doing things like driving cars and being responsible for their own personal hygiene who apparently believe she does as well? The last bit makes me a little scared for all of our safety.

Seriously though, she's got to be the worst 24 character ever. What a train wreck.

garafalo is a moron and is lousy on 24, the only bad actor on season 8, can't wait for her character to get killed off, will defiinitely keep that episode on tivo, as to the the crap she spews outside of the show, its the same old commie lib garbage that we have been listening to for years, do agree with her on one thing, most famous people do not know who she is , i have a pimple on my butt that is more culturally signifigant than she is , just another left wing hater, who is unemployed because she was laid off when Air America failed, let's hope that she is unemployed again soon.

Does any one else think it is ironic that a self professed progressive liberal has such a problem working with a few people that have different views? When did liberals become so intolerant? I keep my political views to myself because of past experience working with liberals. At one job there were several liberals that would constantly harras me about what my views were. I never initiated any political conversations with them, but they would not leave it be. What is really hilareous was how they judge me based on my conservative political views. I was the most liberal personally in that I did not judge others, took in foster children of all races, mentored disadvantaged students, and had friends of all races, religions, nationalities, and economic status. When they attacked my stance on illegal immigration they called me rasicst. When I countered that my opposition to amnesty was based on the same beliefs of my step-father (the man that raised my for most of my life) that happened to be 100% hispanic they still insisted that it was rasist. Does anyone else find it insteresting that WASP men call a self-made hispanic man rasist?

Whats really interesting about this "actress" (has anyone seen her in a good role?) is she keeps spouting off hate speech against people, yet you never once hear her engaging them in any meaningful discussion. She never once tries to understand anyone, just see's an R next to their name and all of the suddenly that person is a racist hate filled person.
She snubbed Lynne Cheney why? Because she was head of the endowment of the humanities, or proudly raised a gay daughter?

What is so shocking about her comments isn't just that she's staggeringly intolerant and a raging bigot but how juvenile she is. She wouldn't talk to them or even meet them and then she BRAGGED about it like a grade schooler would after ignoring the weird girl at the lunch table.

She literally has the emotional maturity of a 6 year old.

The only reason why Garafolo (or whatever is her last name) makes these kind of comments is to remain in the public attention. She peaked and waned long time ago, so any person can become a target as long as it puts her name out there. Poor Jane, her career in Hollywood was as small as her mind. Nothing liberal about her - on the contrary. She is the most judgemental, hate-filled bigot I have read about.

"Just because somebody has been involved in entertainment, or had any other job, that doesn't define them. Everybody's a taxpaying citizen. "

Well there's her problem right there. No, Janeane, everyone is not a taxpaying citizen. Checked the welfare rolls lately?

If you had any idea how many citizens do not pay taxes, you might figure out that any poll or voting turnout that supports higher taxation plans (direct or indirect) is padded with a fat percentage of people it will not affect. They will be happy for you to pay more taxes so they can increase their benefits as nontaxpaying citizens.

Meanwhile . . I do think you are funny, even if I think you are a weirdly entrenched in hating Conservatives, and the fact that Henry likes you says you must be a pretty nice person to hang out with.

I used to think just.like.you. I don't anymore, and wish you the best if you should suddenly snap out of it an realize where you have been duped. It's a rude awakening, but it's an awakening. Good luck.

Why is that liberals always think that outspoken conservatives don't really believe what they say - that it's all just an act?

It's always amusing to hear that come out of their mouths.

Oh, and what about all that diversity and tolerance the Left espouses? Only two "right wingers" and they were in the writer's room, so it's okay. Good Lord, woman. Why not expose yourself to the diversity of ideas?

Oh, right. That's not how the Left or Hollywood actually works.

Actually, home-schooled children are taught by their parents. Hense, the name home-schooled. Think about it. Which kids are winning the spelling bees? Which kids are nailing full scholarships to prestegious colleges, which kids are smoking the science competitions? It's not the kids going to public school. I wouldn't expect you to know that since you seem like a product of the public school system.

For those of us who are Conservative, Janeane shows us the true hating face of the left. They can't just disagree with you, since many of the opinions don't hold up under scrutiny, so they have to hate you and confront you, rather than debate you.

But the for American press, these people would never get power; because their ideas are so vacuous.

Her messiah is in the pockets of the banksters, and it's delusional cultists like her that will drive this country into the ground. I will admit it's amusing to see she actually thinks she knows what she's talking about.

Lets see, Garafolo defaces large swaths of her body with graffiti, pierces herself, looks as though she bathes at best once a month, is constantly spewing hate, anger and bile, and wants a massive government to tell her what she can and cant do from cradle to grave....and she has the gall to question other people's sanity?

Liberalism IS a mental disorder.

And just as liberals always leech onto others success, suck the life out of it and destroy it, Garafolo will do the same to 24.

Really, The Village Voice censored my comment? Was it the part about Gerflafello, or whatever her name is, being a train wreck on 24? Or was it that I said I feared to live in a society where people who care about what Gerlfaleto says are allowed to drive heavy, dangerous cars and procreate.

Either way, I'd think a bastion of liberal thought like the Voice wouldn't stoop to such childish speech restrictions. I'm very disappointed. If I didn't know any better, I'd think this was being run by those fascists at Fox News.

Interesting take on Ms Garofalo. Your description makes me think of that 80's song by the Motels. Maybe Ms. Garofalo is one of the lonely...and as the lyrics said in the song,"Only the lonely can play."
Sort of sad and pitiful I must say.

If Ms Garafalo can be bothered to stop screaming and take her fingers out of her ears she might hear some things of interest or at least become educated on the issues at hand. We are all going to be hearing a great deal about M1 or money supply in the future and if she were to listen rather than talk, she might learn why that is important.

Based on her comments we know that Garafalo is prejudiced bigot and a segregationist to boot. But she will be given a pass on her intolerance because her narrow mindedness is not based on skin color or religion and her views fall within the current orthodoxy.

The mental illness they are in possession of is called by Freud,"Projection." Check out what they accuse conservatives of. It is almost always what they themselves do or want to do. Since the "New Deal" and the "Great "Society" the answer is to throw more money at it, i.e. educational system, poverty, criminal justice system etc. How,s that workin for ya.The definition of insanity-- keeping doing the same thing over and over (and increasing the busget) and expecting a different result.

I've watched 24 a couple of time, but found it patently ridiculous. I don't recall noticing Garofalo but then she's not that noticable.

She is a good example of the utter self-absorbant attitude of many who make up the "left'. Their "humor" consists of hurling abuse at whoever dared to disagree with them today. At least with Rush you can get an idea of the reason he disagrees with people. Garofalo just dislikes people because they disagree with her.

With Rush you can present an argument and challenge facts. I have heard people do that to him numerous times. With Garafalo and her ilk it's just them yelling "Shut Up!!" over and over again.

No thought, no reasoning, just bile.

No wonder she was afraid to meet with Rush or Lynne Cheney. They might have had a discussion with her. She wouldn't have been able to shout them down or turn off their mics. In a battle of wits she is only half armed.

DarkMetal says:

I have been doing my own psychoanalysis on Janeane Garofolo recently, and have come to some conclusions about her mental state:

She has tremendous self hatred that she aims at those she cannot fathom; When faced by her supposed Conservative tormentors, she finds she fears them, and this morphs into hatred.

Illusions of self grandeur: Garofolo likes to use a few terms to sound brainy but never shows us any real knowledge. She uses a few terms she has learned like "Limbic brain" to affect this goal, but knows that many know she is likely both socially and mentally retarded in some respects. She hates Conservatives because they are not afraid to point this fact out.

Social Agoraphobia: Jeneane refuses to talk to anyone outside of her sphere of Leftist friends. She fears contact with intellects that might dispel her silly notions, and uses words like "Racist" "Teabagger" and other terms to try to keep them from actually engaging her in even to most respectful discussions.

All in all, Janeane Garofolo is Leftism taken to the Nth degree: hatred of those who deny your beliefs, extreme intolerance, factual disregard and an overextended God complex.

Get some help, Jeneane...

Your role on 24 is inconsequential, as are your anti-American opinions. I'll bet 90 percent of filmgoers can't name two of your flop films, Janeane.

I wannt to say sorry to my BF who has warned me about this and because I'm not myself therefore I've lost trust in him and didn't turn to him for advice. Sorry that I've hurt you and embrassed you.

For all you people that entertain this...I am not trying to fit in with you all..

Most of you dont know me...so don't pass judgement.

It's sad how this world has become...lots of mean people..

If you live your life and you don't any intention to harm anyone...GOD will protect you.

I thank God for taking me to this BLOG before I had a chance for one more innocent person to be involve in this game that entertain these group of people...laughing at one sarrow.

Good Bye!

P.S. Sorry Rush...You think its that easy to fuck the shit out of me!!! I warned you...it's not that easy to get into my pants.

hahaha Luck is still on my side!!! and that's what you get with you big mouth!

Damn, the right wingers on this thread are making me even gladder that they and their party are out of power. I did not think that was possible.

The comments on this blog are abhorrent!
The interview seems fairly innocuous, yet you rip her to shreds, most of you are completely deluded.

And in all fairness, Rush Limbaugh is a twat.

Garofalo, you hit the nail right on the head when you talked about the emptiness that you have experianced. What do you think happens to people when they fill that void with something other than a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? They become the mean people you talked about. They fill that void with drugs and alcohol and sex and whatever. What do you think the outcome is, when that void becomes filled with hate and disregard for life and ungodliness? We get a world that we now live in.

Garofalo- If that really was you commenting. Cant believe you would call us redneck racists and accuse us of being racist all at the same time. You are just plain stupid AND RACIST. All you are is a short, ignorant, no talent bitch who needs to deal with the fact that some of us Americans dont take kindly to being ass fucked.

What a foul freedom HATING communist. ANSWERING questions asked of her in an interview? She may as well have pissed on a flag. This FASCIST liberal cunt daring to mention that she QUIETLY refused to have her picture taken with a wonderful, luscious patriot like Rush Limbaugh is EXACTLY the same as racism.
I'm sure this TALENTLESS socialist nazi HAG bitch lesbian only gets parts due TO the anti-american commie Jews IN Hollywood.
The god-fearing PATRIOTS who founded our nation (UNDER goD!) like Jefferson and Adams will be spinning in their GRAVES if they knew that disgusting, Jesus-hating, traitors LIKE this vicious rectum-faced muslim harridan abuse their god-GIVEN freedom of speech to answer questions asked by interviewers.
