During her six year stint, she created some of the most famous SNL characters
including middle school music teacher Bobbie Moughan-Culp, NPR radio host

of Martha Stewart, Celine Dion and Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Following her run in Eve Ensler's acclaimed Off-Broadway hit The Vagina
Monologues, and her triumphant Broadway debut as Columbia in The Rocky Horror

Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera.
Other theatrical credits include the national tour of The Real Live Brady Bunch,
as well as productions of The Odyssey and The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci
(both directed by Mary Zimmerman).
In the fall of 2002, she co-starred in the one-night-only star-studded Funny
Girl Actors Fund benefit concert, joining Whoopi Goldberg, Ricki Lake, Jane
Krakowski and others as one of the many celebrities tag-teaming the role of
Fanny Brice.
Prior to joining SNL, Gasteyer honed her comedy skills at The Groundlings, the
famed Los Angeles improv-sketch comedy group.
On film, Ana has been seen in What Women Want with Mel Gibson, Woman on Top,
Dick, and What's The Worst That Could Happen? opposite John Leguizamo and Martin
