Wet Hot American Summer: Then and Now

Molly Shannon 

THEN: Shannon was the princess of SNL well before she picked up a role in wain’s “Wet Hot American Summer.” At the time her career was on the rise as she bared her britches in a number of SNL spin-off films, guest spots on shows like “Seinfeld,” and a part in the Jim Carrey led “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.”

 

 

NOW: Shannon has continued to be a active guest on many TV shows along with bit parts in many movies. Based on her success on SNL, one would have expected her career to take off, but alas Shannon is a supplementary character actor at best these days.
