You might know me from Seaons 1-5 of Reno 911, where I played Deputy Clementine Johnson.
I also have a quite few movies coming out: COOK-OFF (which I co-wrote, co-produced, and co-star in with lots of other funny people; further down you can see clips from the movie and a pic of me as "Pauline Solfest"), SPOONER (with Matthew Lillard), TUG (with Sam Huntington and Sarah Drew), BOUTONIERE (a very funny short with Zachary Quinto), STARLIGHT AND SUPERFISH, and JESUS PEOPLE. I have no idea when ANY of these films will be released, but hopefully one or more of them will get into SUNDANCE in 2009.
I'm also a member of the Groundling Theater in Los Angeles. You don't know what it's like to REALLY laugh
until you've seen a show at the Groundlings!
Hi Wendi! Fantastic job on The Office this week! I had no idea you were going to be guest starring, and it made that episode that much more enjoyable :) Hope all is well!!
hey Wendy! Check me out in ROLE MODELS! Im an ELF in the L.A.R.P. scenes. I ran into Kerry on set. We've run into eachother a few times actually....including an episode in season 4 or 5 of Reno. I have one pic on thie Photopage of me in costume. I would attach but you have the HTML code remover thing on.....
Imagine my delight when I was watching one of my favourite shows, The Office, and I see one of my favourite people from one of my other favourite shows, RENO, appear on my T.V. screen! AND you were playing a Canadian (my favourite country!). Excellent job, as usual, Wendi!!!
Wendi, you made a straight man clap with joy like a gay man. well done tonight on the Office. And by well done, i mean you looked great, as always. ;) Congrats on playing the part of a whorish Concierge (emphasis on the g).
Wendi! I was sooo excited to see you on The Office!! Reno and The Office are my two favorite shows, so, yeah, that made tonight pretty cool. :) You did an awesome job!
I ran a spotlight once for a Chaka/Rufus show and when she busted into Aint Nobody, I could not stop bopping around. Probably ruined the whole show. Hearing it now makes me want to dance and hide at the same time. Thanks for reviving my chaka trauma!
wow, i didn't think you would actually add me. That's pretty funny. I love your work. Improv is not easy and it makes me happy to see people going down that path.
Hey Wendi, I wanted to ask when new episodes of Reno911! were due to arrive? Just throw up a blog or a bulletin and let us know. And if you're doing anything else too - I love your timing and can't wait to see more of you.
Yeeeeessss! This song, it's like the first time I hear it everytime I hear it. It reminds me of driving, and it makes me like driving on the freeway sooo much more! Good choice! Happy Friday!
Im a big fan. I love reno 911. It would make me day if you wrote back on mu MySpace. Please pretty please lol :) if you have time. It would make my day J XOXOX :)
Hi there, thanks for adding me! My human has been a Reno 911! fan from the beginning but only just learned you are a cat fan from season 5 commentary. You are a wise human.
No, really... THANKS FOR THE ADD!!! We're thanking our MySpace friends by giving away a super bad ass Go-Ped ESR750 Hoverboard. If you're eligible, and our friend, you're automatically entered!
