Who's Natasha Leggero? 'Last Comic Standing's' new judge

Natasha Leggero has been on the comedy scene for a while, but she got a big prime-time introduction on the season premiere of "Last Comic Standing."After taking last year off, "LCS" returned to NBC Monday (June 7) with a new host in Craig Robinson and a new set of judges: Leggero, Greg Giraldo and Andy Kindler. The two-hour premiere covered the Los Angeles auditions, and Leggero -- who's arguably the least well-known of the three judges -- held her own with her male counterparts.
We first caught sight of Leggero on the late, great "Joe Schmo Show," Spike TV's fake reality show; she played Rita (the Drunk) in the first season. Her acting credits also include "Reno 911!," "He's Just Not That Into You," "'Til Death" and voice work on "Ugly Americans." She's also a regular panelist on "Chelsea Lately" and has made several "Tonight Show" appearances.
You can follow Leggero on Twitter and become a fan of hers on Facebook. And in the clip below you can listen to her talk about the many, many places she's done stand-up -- including a laundromat and a Narcotics Anonymous meeting -- and why it's important to perform as much as possible.

I'm not a fan of Natasha Leggero on Last Comic Standing. She laughed at a lot of material that wasn't even close to being funny. Greg Giraldo is a good addition to the show though.
Does she HAVE to cackle at everything? I'm having a hard time watching this season because her laugh is SO annoying!!!!!
This show is pretty funny but I dont think I can watch it anymore unless they mute Natasha Leggero. Im not trying to be rude, but it hurts my head and takes away from the comedy.
NBC can you please turn down Natasha Leggero's microphone during the comedians performances. Her laughter is ruining the show. I think I speak for alot of people who have stopped watching because of her.
how do they have someone who is not very funny in her own stand up judge other comics?
I have tried to watch this show, but found it impossible because of Natasha Leggero's stupid incessant cackle.
Ugggh, you're right!! Her laugh is so annoying!
Natasha's laugh is SO annoying. It is making the show unbearable.

Natashas' horrible laugh has forced me to stop tivo'ing LCS. Normally I like the show. Was excited for this season. Its too bad nbc couldn't see this coming.
