Janeane Garofalo Married: Comedian Hitched For 20 Years And Didn't Even Know It

Who says Hollywood marriages can't stand the test of time?

For comedian Janeane Garofalo, staying married for 20 years was a cinch -- perhaps because she had absolutely no idea she was still hitched to her '90s boyfriend.

The 48-year-old says she married "The Big Bang Theory" producer Rob Cohen "as a joke" in 1991, but didn't think the nuptials had actually stuck.

She tells the New York Post: "We got married drunk in Vegas ... We dated for a year, and we got married at a drive-through chapel in a cab. [We thought] you have to go down to the courthouse and sign papers and stuff, so who knew?"

At this weekend's reunion of "The Ben Stiller Show," she added, "We were married, and apparently now that [Rob] is getting married for real, his lawyer dug up something.”

Cohen is now engaged to Jill Leiderman, a producer on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."

Only a Gen-X icon like Garofalo could get ironically married and not know it.

I heard she doesn't put out..or doesn't want to.

I can only wonder if she's quickly trying to get a guest spot on BBT to get her career noticed again before the divorce goes through.

Doesn't she have a radio show?

I will dream that every once in a while that I got married several years ago and completely forgot about it. I didn't realize that that could really happen.

Well, it is a funnier joke than anything on The Big Bang Theory, I'll give her that.

So anytime she did material in the past 20 years about how all of her friends are getting married except for her has all been based on LIES!!!!

"Yeah, it's like getting married has it's own sense of kitsch value to it!"

She was a host on Air America Radio, but that died in 2010.

She was great on "Delocated" last season.

That's the bowler girl from Mystery Men, right ?

She was interesting on the Criminal Minds spin-off, but it got ratings that only CBS would consider a failure and therefore only lasted a season.

And she was gone from that show before that happened. Apparently her guest shots on West Wing conflicted with her doing the radio show, plus she was not getting along with either the producers or the cohost. She left the radio show... wanna say 2005 or so?
