Just for Laughs 2012: Daily Show's Kristen Schaal corners the market on loopy. Anne Cusack Los Angeles Times file Photograph by: ANNE CUSACK , TPN MONTREAL - What a difference a year can make: In 2005, Kristen Schaal was cited in New York magazine’s list of Ten Funniest New Yorkers You Never Heard Of.

But in 2006, Schaal, who hits the Just for Laughs fest Friday with her comedy partner, Kurt Braunohler, won the Best Alternative Comic Award at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colo. “Alternative comic” is what best defines Schaal in every sense of the phrase. Like Jack McBrayer, the 30 Rock star who hosts two JFL shows Wednesday at Club Soda, she is frequently and hilariously cast as the hayseed. In fact, she has shown up on 30 Rock as the seemingly diabolical Hazel Wassername, who once sought to usurp the role of NBC page from McBrayer’s bumpkin Kenneth. And there is clearly a demand for loopy, as she has amassed tube credits galore in everything from The Simpsons to the Law & Orders (SVU and Criminal Intent), from Modern Family to Mad Men. All righty, then. TW: Kristen Schaal (kristenschaaled) sur Twitter. Wikipedia: Kristen Schaal.
