What Happened to Jennifer Coolidge?

In a 2022 interview for Variety, actor, writer, and director Christopher Guest said, “When I met (Jennifer Coolidge), I knew there was something going on that was special. And I was right, fortunately.” He praised her ability to command attention without commanding the dialogue. “This person stands out. Everyone else, to me, is invisible. You want to see her.”
We have seen her on our television and theatre screens since the early 90s. And 2023 may have been her best year yet, with her winning a second Emmy for The White Lotus and being named one of the most influential people in the world by Time Magazine. It's been a pretty amazing run for the actress who, at one time (long ago) was best known as "Stifler's Mom" in the American Pie Series.
So, WTF happened to Jennifer Coolidge, the self-deprecating eccentric humorist and sometimes sex symbol, who owns over 100 credits in television and film? Let's find out!

It makes me so happy that she is getting more recognition than ever

[@MB-ig6gl]

I think it is her ability to take a simple character and make them more complex just by how she talks. Her superb acting brings so much depth to her characters. White Lotus was designed for this but her other earlier roles were 100% her elevating the performance.

No.. it's the hooters

[@Been.Here.Since.2007]

Stiffler's Mom for life.

[@thegood9]

I love this woman. She's just as funny in the commercials she is in lately as she is in the great shows and movies she's in.

[@lucasglowacki4683]

I still can’t help laughing when saying “Stifflers mom”😂

[@trudieristich795]

I love her so much she's funny. And I think it would be so cool if the movie was made with Jennifer Coolidge And Jennifer Tilly.

[@Woozlewuzzleable]

She killed it in White Lotus season 2……literally. If you’re going to go don’t go without a fight.

[@cadillacdeville5828]

She's VERY likable 😊.

[@danielmankowski922]

Just gonna say it, she was hilarious in Pootie Tang! 😂

I think her small part in "Click" was funny. The part when Adam sandler stop the time when she was screaming was hilarious 😂

[@CasualSpud]

Not one mention of Lazy Susan from Gravity Falls.

[@wstine79]

She was awesome in the American Pie movies, Best in Show, and 2 Broke Girls. I'm glad she got the Golden Globe and Emmy for White Lotus.

[@maclaird1]

Gentleman broncos as well. She was awesome in that

[@sourpatchkid394]

I loved and first saw her in best in show!

[@vinnym5607]

Never heard of "Mascots" before today and have had Netflix forever.

[@adampatino5372]

Y'all should do a video over Arsenio Hall! Just today, I legit asked myself, "wtf happened to that ninja?" THE PEOPLE DEMAND TO KNOW

[@GenuineArticle71]

i clicked on this and only had to wait for the 1st youtube ad to play in order to answer the question posed in this video title. Jennifer Coolidge in a Discover card commercial is on 75% of the time when i'm waiting for the countdown clock to finish so i can click "skip."

[@jarenbigelow8606]

She is amazing.

[@angelmationg525]

She appeared in Soul Men

[@paulnolan4971]

She makes me feel the way Madeleine Kahn used to make me feel every time I looked at her face. She just projects funny

[@AronHallan]

She also was in a couple of NipTuck episodes in the later seasons.

[@whimsicalhamster88]

Kind of weird to ask "What happened" to someone who won a Golden Globe less than a month ago.

[@TravioliRavioli]

Kind of stupid to read this comment under every „what happend to“ video, its a recap of an actors life and believe it or not, receiving a golden globe is also something that happend to her. Use your brain

[@TamESQ]

Kind of weird that (unless you’re on the autism spectrum) you take the title so literally and don’t realize that the “wtf happened to” series on JoBlo is just to talk about famous actors… their life and career. It’s not LITERALLY meaning that they’re irrelevant and no longer working…

[@actionstudios9502]

Can u do WTF Happened to T.J. Miller

[@13blackcatzzz]

Thank God he's not around

[@michaelstaunton1632]

👍👍👍🎥

[@alteregobro4826]

[@gershonford3513]

[@lonellfletcher]

To the narrator; WATCH 2 BROKE GIRLS!!!!! The iconic is iconing!!!!!

[@JasmineLajeunesse]

What happened to the wtf in the title??

[@buxycat]

Says "Friends spin off Joey," shows clip from Frasier. WTF JoBlo?

[@randyjax09]

I’m just sad that she’s now shilling for corporate advertisers. 😞

[@mbbno]

No what happened to someone who looked and sounded like a normal, typical, attractive person when she appeared on Seinfeld but now sounds like she's doing some version of Anna Nicole Smith in looks and voice.

[@negativeindustrial]

Stiffler’s mom!

[@richardotten6467]

I've got Matthew fox on my mind to see a wtf feature about. Hell most of the Lost cast for that matter😅

[@Chadsolderbrotherbrad1111]

She has great bazoongas😊

[@JasmineLajeunesse]

she's so cool... idge

[@angelmationg525]

Liv Tyler Next please

[@lordofthereels6790]

She and Jamie Lee Curtis should do an actuon comedy together

[@harper7509]

She's going to give back what she stole just like everyone else

[@shadowaccount]

Really scrapin the bottom of the Barrell JoBlo....

[@HustlerHorstRuediger]

I only watched two broke girls because i was crushin on kat dennings at that time. 💔

[@needfoolthings]

"What happened to...", "The truth about..." I curse the algorithm to come back sideways at all these clickbait channels.

[@ryandavis9898]

I always thought she was so hot!

[@MrSN99]

Nothing happened? What kind of a title is this the fuck

[@patrickmoony9434]

Stiflers mom has got it going on 😂a play on words from the song Stacey’s mom from Fountain Of Wayne one hit wonder band that’s to American pies cast members I hope you do the whole cast from time to time just the well known like Jason biggs Paul Finch I don’t know the guys real full name kev aka Ian Thomas I think that’s his last real name Chris oz I don’t know that guys real at all. .Tara strong who played Vicky Allison Hannigan now I can’t remember her character’s name she was the red head band camp and like I said before Can you do a profile on the characters that stood out on the seens they were in side character wise and my last two nominations would be Jim’s dad and Heather the other redhead

[@user-pr2mk6dz5z]

Gravity

[@RaptorWaderMusic]

Well She Will be in Minecraft movie

[@mikev1759]

Culminated...

[@jimthar17]

The Bend and Snap scene is literally the worst part of that movie. I honestly hated her character in 2BG. The show was good until her character came in and took over the show. Then the show became about HER and not the actual 2BG.

[@DNOstalgia]

Is she married? Have children?

[@superdlucks]

Notice how these videos are getting much shorter. It's because they continue to choose weak subjects for WTF. American Pie put her on the radar and Lotus made her an award winner. Everything inbetween is dizzy-headed, stereotypical big boobed blonde stuff. Happy for her success, but no mystery solved here. Joblo continues to put out weak content and then get their feelings hurt when readers call them out. Don't be in the internet news game if you got thin skin. Joblo, spoiling movies and TV for more than a decade.

Who cares 😂
