My Take
Riki Lindhome is one of those performers who quietly does everything well and never quite gets the credit she deserves. Most people know her as half of Garfunkel and Oates, the comedy folk duo she formed with Kate Micucci, and honestly that project alone is enough to cement her as someone special — the songs are genuinely funny and genuinely musical, which is a harder combination to pull off than it looks. She's also a solid actress who has popped up in everything from Gilmore Girls to The Big Bang Theory to more dramatic fare, always bringing a dry wit and a grounded presence. A Syracuse University grad from small-town Pennsylvania who carved out this weird, delightful niche at the intersection of indie music and comedy — I find that trajectory pretty inspiring.
