Comedienne

The Resume

    (August 5, 1961- )
    Executive Producer, 'Weekends with Maury and Connie,' MSNBC (2006- )
    Co-host, 'Unfiltered,' Air America Radio (2004-05)
    Co-creator, 'The Daily Show,' Comedy Central (1996- )

Why she might be annoying:

    She spells her name with an extra 'Z.'
    She left 'The Daily Show' in 1998 after original host Craig Kilborn joked in an interview in Esquire magazine that 'if I wanted her to blow me, she would.'
    After she was fired from her Air America program (which was eventually replaced by Jerry Springer's radio show), she sued the already financially-unstable radio network for back pay.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was partly responsible for the program that made Jon Stewart a star, and the show is much better without her influence. (In fact, she once said so herself, perhaps as a dig at former host Kilborn.)
    Ironically, she worked on Stewart's old MTV late-night show.
    She's determined to keep herself busy with new projects, as evidenced by the new Maury Povich/Connie Chung vehicle on MSNBC.
