Former SNL star who has worked on beloved Disney film and garnered two Emmy nominations seen on rare outing... can you guess who?

A former Saturday Night Live cast member stepped out for a rare outing in New York City this week. 

The 62-year-old star kicked off her entertainment career as a stand-up comedian before first making appearances on the screen in the early 90s. 

The actress has worked alongside a number of celebrities over the years such as Uma Thurman, Paul Rudd, Justin Theroux, Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawke and Joaquin Phoenix.

The comedian has taken on roles in a number of movies including Reality Bites (1994) and Disney's Ratatouille (2007).  

She has garnered two Emmy nominations over the course of her career thus far, as well as a SAG award nod.  

Can you guess who it is? 

It is Janeane Garofalo, who was a past cast member on SNL from 1994 until her exit in 1995. 

The star kept it casual during a stroll in NYC on Wednesday while donning a dark gray tank top as well as a red Adidas track pants. 

She additionally slipped into a pair of black sneakers and easily carried a bag over her chest for the daytime excursion. 

Garofalo's dark locks flowed down naturally past her shoulders and she sported a pair of light pink shades for a finishing touch. 

The actress was seen making her way through a quiet area in the bustling city during the solo outing. 

Daily Mail has reached out to reps of Garofalo for comment, but has yet to hear back.

The comedian was born on September 28, 1964 in New Jersey and later graduated from James E. Taylor High School in Houston, Texas. 

Garofalo began doing stand-up comedy in the 80s and eventually crossed paths with Ben Stiller while in Los Angeles. 

Beginning in 1992, she appeared in episodes of The Ben Stiller Show as well as The Larry Sanders Show. 

Garofalo worked alongside Stiller, Winona Ryder and Ethan Hawke in the 1994 rom-com Reality Bites. 

That same year, she became a cast member on SNL but exited the following year mid-season. 

During a past interview with New York Magazine, she said that it had been 'the most miserable experience of my life.' 

Following her time on the sketch comedy series, Garofalo made appearances on shows such as NewsRadio, Seinfeld, Home Improvement, Law & Order and the HBO Comedy Hour. 

In 1996, she starred in the film titled The Truth About Cats & Dogs with Uma Thurman, Jamie Foxx and Ben Chaplin. 

The following year, the star took on a role in Romy And Michele's High School Reunion with Friends alum Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino. 

Her entertainment career continued into the 2000s as she took on minor roles in The Sopranos, The Adventures Of Rocky & Bullwinkle and Wet Hot American Summer. 

Wet Hot American Summer had also cast other stars such as Molly Shannon, David Hyde Pierce and Paul Rudd. 

While the movie failed at the box office, it has since gained a cult following. 

'Here's the thing: I predicted it was going be a cult classic when we were making it, and I couldn't believe it when no one saw it at the time,' Garofalo said of the film during an interview with Time Magazine. 

'I was just like, Wow, wow we had such a great time making it! At Sundance there was a bidding war over a movie called Super Troopers by [comedy group] Broken Lizard, which eclipsed us.'

She further added, 'Then years went by, and I started noticing that much younger people at the street level and at stand-up shows would come up to me quoting lines from it. It just built and built and built from there.' 

Garofalo is also known for playing the character of Louise Thornton on The West Wing from 2005 through 2006. 

In 2007, she was cast to voice the role of Colette in the Disney-animated movie Ratatouille.

The project was a box office success upon its release in theaters and raked in an Oscar for Best Animated Feature. 

The actress also appeared in episodes of the thriller series 24 as well as Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior. 

Garofalo has additionally starred in Delocated, The American Side (2016), Broad City, Stumptown as well as Flora & Ulysses. 

Her most recent credits include a 2026 episode of Rick And Morty as well as voicing the character of Anna Baxter for Stranger Things: Tales From '85. 

Garofalo has previously opened up about her passion for comedy. 

'By fifth grade, I knew I wanted to be involved in comedy because I was such a die-hard Woody Allen fan, and I have clear memories of Albert Brooks in The Odd Couple,' she told Interview Magazine.

'Then, as I got a bit older, I loved Catherine O'Hara, Andrea Martin, Bill Murray, and Sandra Bernhard.'
