  Jan Hooks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jan Hooks (born April 23, 1957 in Decatur, Georgia) is an American actress and comedian best known for her work on NBC's Saturday Night Live, on which she appeared from 1986 to 1991.
Hooks began her career as a member of the Los Angeles-based comedy troupe The Groundlings.
Hooks left SNL in 1991 to join the cast of the sitcom Designing Women, where she played the role of Carlene Dobber for two seasons.

 Jan Hooks Remembers Hartman
Watching that coverage, Hooks saw the same thing - and every clip reminded her of what a fine talent and good man Hartman was, and what fond memories she had of him, and how she owed it to him to share some of those memories.
Hartman and Hooks, with their similarly realistic performing styles, were paired on "SNL" so often from 1986 until Hooks' departure in 1991 (Hartman left three years later) that even Hartman's wife noticed.
More recently, Hooks saw her former "SNL" colleague a little more than a month ago, when they both guest-starred on the season finale of NBC's "3rd Rock From the Sun." She played Vicki Dubchek; he, in an equally gregarious and funny role, played her jealous ex-boyfriend, Randy.

Jan Hooks was too stupid to be funny, but I did like the actress who played B.J. The show should have ended when Delta Burke and Jean Smart left.
Jan Hooks was just this side of a cartoon character and Judith Ivey, a fine dramatic actress, was just out of her element in a sitcom.

 Jiminy Glick in La La Wood Movie Review at Hollywood Video
The film takes Butte, Montana, entertainment reporter Glick and family (wife Dixie played by a hilarious Jan Hooks and his two twin boys named Modine and Matthew—a joke that isn't funny until Glick reveals it was because of the movie Birdy) to the Toronto Film Festival, where oodles of stars walk the red carpet.
Short and Hooks are so up on their improv game, they'll make you laugh out loud every time they're onscreen.
And of course the beauty of all this is listening to Short and Hooks (as boozehound Dixie) spin their improv at a mile-a-minute pace; Hooks is often hilarious as the foul-mouthed spouse burdened with Glick for a husband.

On the same Sugarbaker sofa where Delta Burke sat in repose for five years, as comically immobile and forbidding as a bewigged Aztec totem, Julia Duffy now lies-no, lolls-her sneakered, size 5 feet barely reaching the coffee table.
With Burke and costar Jean Smart (Charlene Stillfield) departing, and Duffy and Jan Hooks filling similar roles as the caustic nemesis and country naif of the Sugarbaker interior- design firm, the previous night's show was the most pivotal in Designing Women's long run.
''It's alleviated a lot of pressure,'' says Hooks, who watched her first appearance as Carlene Dobber the night before with the help of ''comfort food'' (meat loaf, mashed potatoes, green peas) and a tumbler of vodka.

Other frequent guests included Garth's father, "Beev", (so named because of his teeth, Phil Hartman) who was often ridiculed by Wayne despite the fact that he was married to a "babe" (Candice Bergen).
