Episode 41
After her debut performance as a fairy in elementary school, Helen didn't perform again for decades. She has been on a pretty good tear ever since - playing memorable characters in Jane the Virgin, Never Have I Ever, booking her first commercial (Comcast Cable) and then her first acting audition: a Coen Brothers classic, becoming a regular on NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell me, and hosting her own game show, Go Fact Yourself -- meanwhile entertaining comedy audiences across the country with a unique brand of quirky, expressive, edginess and well-crafted jokes.
The immigrant experience, rebellion, and sisterhood feature prominently.
