Industry Standard 72: Cheri Oteri

Cheri Oteri was born in Philadelphia and later moved to LA where she worked in promotions for A&M Records. She joined the Groundlings, and in 1995 the producers of “Saturday Night Live” saw one of her monologues, which led to an audition and eventually being hired as a cast member. She has also appeared in several films, including “Scary Movie,” “Inspector Gadget,” “Liar Liar,” “Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd,” “Shrek the Third,” “Southland Tales,” and “Grown Ups 2” (with Adam Sandler). In 2009, Oteri became a regular voice in Fox networks'  animated comedy series “Sit Down, Shut Up” (which later moved to Comedy Central). Additionally, Cheri has made multiple guest appearances on TV shows such as “Just Shoot Me!” (in which she was nominated for an Emmy), “Strangers with Candy, Jessie,” “The New Normal,” “Hot in Cleveland,” and as an emotionally unstable nanny on “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
