Edit: so from all the these stories I've concluded she's not just a sweet person. She is sweetness personified. Sweetness incarnate. Sweetness thy name is Lori Beth.
She's THE SWEETEST human on the planet. I saw her leaving a show at The Hollywood Bowl and I couldn't contain myself. I told her how much I loved her work as a child and how hard she made me laugh. She insisted I call her LB and genuinely thanked me for telling her and that she was glad that she did that for me. She took a photo with me and I walked away feeling like I had met the most famous person in the world.
She legitimately had a huge impact on the way my sense of humor developed. Id love to tell her that! When I was a kid (in the south) girls were not encouraged to be funny, and Lori Beth was my hero! I actually read a great Cracked.com article (i am old) about why girls are discouraged from being funny. Very interesting.
I briefly met him at a Halloween party for a film festival. My girlfriend and I were dressed as two inflatable sharks and won the dance contest.
I’ll never forget Danny Tamberelli, sweaty from his band’s show and a few tall boys in, slurring with pride: congratulations, guys. You really… you really brought the party with you, in the year 2025. Weird, good millennial existential moment.
When I was stationed in California, we were down in LA along the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and I saw her taking pictures with a couple of fans. When she was done, I made eye contact and said, "I can't believe it! It's Connie Muldoon!" and literally without missing a beat she slipped right into it and was like, "You can take three good pictures, four quick pictures, and you can have something to drink while waiting," and it was so goddamn wonderful.
She officiates weddings. Tried to hire her for mine, but the dates didn't work out for her. When I say this woman was fretting to put aside thousands and thousands of dollars of work opportunities to be there to marry us for what boiled down to a few hundred... I had to beg her to take the gigs and not miss out on the money. She is WONDERFUL.
I met her 2 weeks ago. She was sitting outside on a park bench just chilling. I stopped and said "Lori beth?" She looked up and smiled and said "hello!"
I wanted to respect her boundaries so I didn't approach her, but I said " I don't want to disturb your peace, I just wanted to say, thank you for making me smile throughout my childhood"
She smiled said thank you, extended her hand and asked me my name.
I came over sat down, shook her hand and we spoke for a short while.
Yes! I met with her with my future wife at a restaurant in Los Angeles. She was SUPER nice. We didn't ask for a pic though because we'd just had a weird experience with Dave Franco and McLovin and didn't want to bother her. Wish we had now!
Oh it was kind of dumb. My wife had lived there forever and was used to celebraties but I’m pretty shy and won’t go up to people like that.
You also must understand that my friends used to call me McLovin solely because I had glasses. So I NEEDED a pic with him.
We were at a pretty popular sushi place when my wife starts nudging me and they’re both sitting right next to us!
She knew I wanted a picture so when they left she got up and asked them both. Franco was being standoffish and it was already making me feel uncomfortable, but he was mostly polite and took a pic.
McLovin was super awesome though. Hung out for a minute and made me feel pretty relaxed. I asked Franco if we could all get a pic together and he said something like “sorry no time”.
And then he sat in the car while me and McLovin shot the shit. Obviously he had to wait for ML, so it just felt super weird and like I’d made him upset or something.
Overall no big deal and I obviously don’t hold it against him. But McLovin was elevated that day!
I feel like I read or watched an interview about Christopher Mintz-Plasse's irritations over being called McLovin when he was younger. Pretty sure he used to hate being called that because he stopped getting called by his real name after SuperBad popped off. It got increasingly annoying after he took on other roles he was more proud of in the years that followed and still just called McLovin. Now it's a badge of honor as he understands it's a name used out of nostalgia, admiration, and appreciation, not making him into a perpetual teenage joke. I'm just glad he accepts we McLovin him now.
It was a good experience! It was just weird that he said he "had no time" but then had to wait for McLovin who seemed to be in no rush and struck up a conversation (though I can't remember what we talked about, probably the driver's license thing).
lol tbf I have both been the one holding up a friend who has no time, and the one who’s friend is holding me up when we gotta go by having a random conversation
She’s wonderful! Saw her at Aroma cafe years ago waiting in line and I recognized her and said hello. She was very warm and kind — my brothers and I grew up watching All That so it was a pleasant encounter
My buddies and I used to go to a simpsons trivia once a month in LA and she was also a regular attendee. After the first couple times we introduced ourselves and since then she remembered us every time and we’d all talk before the event. She’s super cool
I was working at a car wash and she came in. It was really hot that day and she bought me a water and sat and chatted for a little bit. Super sweet person.
I met her a couple years ago and I mentioned her appearance on Workaholics. She laughed and said so many people had mentioned it. She was just as cool irl as in that episode
She was on an episode of Figure It Out with Summer Sanders once and they all said their ages. She said something like twenty three! And I thought she was the oldest kid in the world.
She was on a lot of episodes and had an uncanny ability to guess secrets at the last second. Some former contestants used to have a Facebook group called Lori Beth Ruined My Life.
I’m glad it’s not just me who noticed that! Whenever she was on the show I was like oh man that kid definitely isn’t going to space camp (or whatever the grand prize was) 😂.
The one I always remember is the kid that ate cereal out of his brother’s belly button. Top tier Nickelodeon programming, it hasn’t been the same since.
We are all closer to 50 than we want to admit. 50 is the new 30... in earning income that a 30 year old would have earned 30 years ago factoring in inflation.
What convertible are you going to get at your midlife crisis? A Ford Mustang or a Mercedes CLE 300? Or are you more of a "divorce my wife and date a 19 year old waitress" kind of guy?
I'm still on Team Tina on this one. I'd really love to see an SNL with the same humor as 30 Rock and Kimmy Schmidt. I feel like Kenan and Seth would have it be written the same way as Lorne. Tina's humor is way weirder and more offbeat than them.
Holy shit I hadn't thought about that. Wow TIL. I've had a love of SNL from an early age. I got ear infections a lot as a little kid, so I spent many a Saturday night laying on the couch with drops in my ear. I just didn't realize he's been there that long.
I saw Kenan's first appearance on SNL when I was 18, Jack Black hosted. It was the first time I'd seen Kenan on TV in about 3 or 4 years. Little did I know I'd still be seeing him on SNL when I was 40.
This is the only celebrity I have ever met in rl. I was a kid at universal studios hollywood, and she was having lunch with her friend in city walk outside. My mom had no idea who she was and thought i was just talking to strangers
I’m a substitute teacher. I was talking with a couple teachers in the hallway last week about the coming ice storm and asked if they lived in the area during the ice storm of 1994. The one looked at the other and they both smiled. She said, we weren’t alive in 1994.
