Some have said she does a mean Sarah Palin.
Sara Benincasa recently spent a year as a citizen journalist for the 2008 MTV Choose or Lose Street Team, part of MTV’s 2008 Emmy Award-winning Think campaign. Her political blog and video news reports can be found on MTV’s social activism website, ThinkMTV.
Sara likes politics, but she loves comedy so hard it makes her want to freak the eff out and set an imaginary pile of money ablaze. Her weekly show Family Hour with Auntie Sara, a FREE family-themed (but not family-appropriate!) live show happens at Ochi’s Lounge at Comix the FINAL SATURDAY OF EACH MONTH at 7:00 PM!
Sara co-hosts "Get in Bed," a hilarious sex-chat show on Cosmo Radio, Sirius 111/XM 162, every M-F from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.
She also hosts Nerve.com’s Tub Talk with Sara B., a show in which she interviews comedians and humor writers in her bathtub.
She contributed to the 2008 Chronicle Books release Position of the Day: Expert Edition: Sex Every Day in Every Day.
She is a frequent guest on various Sirius Satellite Radio channels.
And she’s writing a HILAAAARIOUS book about crippling panic attacks! | | Website | sarabenincasa.wordpress.com | | Influences | Margaret Cho, Kathy Griffin, MST3K, Janeane Garofalo, Chris Rock, David Sedaris, Amy Sedaris, Judy Tenuta, Tina Fey, Eddie Izzard (because I like costumes and brilliance), Amy Poehler, The State, the Kids in the Hall, Sandra Bernhard, all the comics I knew at Emerson College | | Members | SaraBenincasa.com | | TV Shows | CNN's "Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer," MTV’s "Total Request Live," MTV News, CUNY TV’s "Brian Lehrer Live." |

Do yourself a HUUUUGE favor and go see Pamela Springsteen torture innocent teens at camp. | | Television | We should really all be watching more MTV, especially when/if Sara's disturbingly lifelike visage is on it.
But the Internets have so much to offer us, like TUB TALK: THE LOST EPISODES!! | | Books | Sara helped write this book: Position of the Day: Expert Edition: Sex Every Day in Every Day.
You may also enjoy her MTV News blog/vlog.
Or perhaps her sex blog on Nerve.com.
All are quite interesting. | | Heroes | This lady.
And also this lady.
Oh, and this lady, too.
And, in the same vein, this fellow.
And of course, this great departed lady. |
