Anjelah Johnson

Anjelah Johnson fascinates me as a study in making a small window count. She went from NFL cheerleader to comedy, lasted only a single season on MADtv, yet her character Bon Qui Qui outgrew the show entirely and took on a life of its own. That is not luck; that is a performer who knows exactly how to land a character. I suspect her dance background gives her the timing and physical precision that make her bits stick. Carving out a lasting name on your own terms, after a brief stint, is something I genuinely respect.
