If you’re up tonight, my great friend, Natasha Leggero, is doing stand-up on The Tonight Show. Check her out, you’ll love her!

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    Just saw it, fantastic set! I never watch Leno but did specifically to catch it, glad I did!

    My only (tiny) critique was the ’20s dancer bit felt out of place at the time, and then the call-back to it at the end actually made it feel even more forced.

    I watched it too. I thought she was great. Jay seemed to like her too, he was laughing in the background along with the guest who’s name escapes me at the moment. Was this her first time on a big show like Leno? If it was you couldn’t tell. She was very confident and didn’t seem nervous at all.
