About

Ana Gasteyer is an Emmy award winning actress, comedian, singer, writer, and producer whose work spans Broadway, television, film, and music.

A beloved cast member of Saturday Night Live from 1996 to 2002, Ana created some of the show's most iconic characters — Bobbie Mohan-Culp, NPR's Delicious Dish, Martha Stewart — and recently brought them back to life as a standout presence in both SNL50: The Anniversary Special and SNL50: The Homecoming Concert.

On Broadway, Ana is currently starring in Schmigadoon!, opening Spring 2026. Her additional Broadway credits include Wicked (as Elphaba), Once Upon a Mattress, Rocky Horror, The Royal Family, and The Threepenny Opera. She originated the role of Debra in Kimberly Akimbo at Manhattan Theatre Club, and recently played Aunt Eller in the acclaimed concert production of Oklahoma! at Carnegie Hall. Further stage credits include Funny Girl, Passion at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, A New Brain at Encores! Off-Center, and Miss Hannigan in Annie at the Hollywood Bowl.

On television, Ana starred in the critically acclaimed NBC comedy American Auto and can be seen in Loot, The Goldbergs, Lady Dynamite, People of Earth, Suburgatory, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Good Wife, and Girls. She wrote and executive produced A Clüsterfünke Christmas for Comedy Central alongside Rachel Dratch, starred in two live Fox musicals (Grease Live! and A Christmas Story Live!), and wowed audiences on The Masked Singer as "Tree."

On film, Ana can be seen in Mean Girls, Happiest Season, Wine Country, What Women Want, The Women, Robot & Frank, and Doin' It, with the upcoming Never Change and You Deserve Each Other on the way.

Ana is also a celebrated jazz vocalist and songwriter. Every holiday season she delights fans nationwide with her cheeky Sugar & Booze holiday tour. The retro-inspired album reached the Billboard Jazz Top 5 and was called "an uproarious homage to Christmas albums of old" by Billboard. The music inspired an eight-episode Audible series featuring Maya Rudolph, Patti LuPone, and Rachel Dratch. Her first album, I'm Hip, was released in 2014, and her performances at New York's iconic Café Carlyle have earned praise from The New York Times, which hailed her "strong singing voice that can stir up a storm."

Ana honed her comedy chops at The Groundlings in Los Angeles before heading to Saturday Night Live and is a proud graduate of Northwestern University.

Ana resides on the East Coast with her husband, children, and rescue pup, Gloria.
