She's a perfect encapsulation of the insane, idiotic news cycle, gunning for views at all costs, even if it's polluting the airwaves with misinformation. One of the best and and most consistently written characters on Parks & Rec. Great actress too!

She was hilarious. Seriously the whole show was one of the best series I've ever watched, and I had a hard time picking any one favorite character. That's rare.

Your favorite character is Ron Swanson. Everybody loves Ron Swanson.

[@siobhancolombo1627]

If you're talking about MadTV, I agree completely! But yeah, Ron is my favourite too :)

[@valentinanovak5255]

Joan: Leslie, the city council has done very little over the past few years, and what they have accomplished - in my opinion - has been embarassing, and that is a fact! Leslie: No -- that's your opinion. It's a definition of an opinion. Joan: Well... that's your opinion. gotta love the writers of this show

I'll never understand why this woman isn't wildly famous

[@Delightfully_Witchy]

It might be because she plays characters too well and can't desociate from the roles.

[@darryl2542]

She was pretty well known in the '90s from Mad TV.

[@thoughtsonstocks]

Mo Collins - exceptionally talented character actor. Been around for 30 years but probably a little less well known since MadTV went off the air.
