'''Maureen "Mo" Collins''' (born [[July 7]], [[1965]] in [[Minneapolis, Minnesota]]) is a popular former cast member on [[Fox Broadcasting Company|FOX's]] [[sketch comedy]] series ''[[MADtv]]''. Collins supplied classic ''MADtv'' characters such as Trina, Lorraine and Doreen during her tenure on the show. She was a cast member from the 4th season ([[1998]]) through the middle of the 9th season ([[2004]]) and would often appear in sketches opposite cast member [[Michael McDonald (actor)|Michael McDonald]]. She returned to ''MADtv'' in the 10th season for a one-episode return and it proved successful. Off-screen, she is very close to cast member [[Paul Vogt]]. |
|||
More recently, she played the role of "Starla" on Season 2 of ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'', a business model-turned secretary. Collins also has a small role in the film ''[[The 40-Year-Old Virgin]]'' as a lesbian looking to get interested in men. |
|||
She is currently performing a one-woman show called "Mo vs. Mo" in various cities, including [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]] and [[Chicago, Illinois|Chicago]]. |
|||
Mo also plays on the [[World Poker Tour]] in the Hollywood Home games for the We Spark charity. |
|||
==Career== |
|||
===MADtv=== |
|||
Collins joined the cast of MADtv at the beginning of season 4 and stayed until the end of season 9. Along with [[Michael McDonald (actor)|Michael McDonald]], her brand of wacko humor would change the way the sketch variety show would be watched. Examples would be outrageous characters such as Stuart Larkin's mother Doreen, dim-bulb matriarch Lorraine Swanson, and unlucky-in-love Trina. |
|||
Collins created a multitude of celebrity impressions, including [[Anne Heche]], [[Barbara Bush]], [[Cher]], [[Diane Sawyer]], [[Jenny Jones (presenter)|Jenny Jones]], [[Jewel]], [[Katherine Harris]], [[Maria Shriver]], [[Martha Stewart]], [[Mary Hart]], [[Mary Tyler Moore]], [[Paige Davis]], [[Penny Marshall]], and [[Shakira]]. |
|||
Mo now has a recurring role as a teacher in the show [[Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide]] |
