Janeane Garofalo Didn't Know She Was Married

Comedienne Janeane Garofalo was dating television producer Rob Cohen in the 1990s when they drunkenly decided to get married in Las Vegas.  They thought it was a joke and wasn't legal, until recently when Rob Cohen was looking to get married to his fiancee, and his lawyer found the earlier marriage.  The divorce came through last Saturday, the same day they attended a reunion for the Ben Stiller Show at the New York Comedy Festival, where Garofalo was a cast member and Cohen was a writer. 

In the New York Post article, Garofalo stated, “Rob and I got married, for real, which we had to have a notary dissolve not 30 minutes before we got here tonight.  We were married for 20 years until this evening. We got married drunk in Vegas . . . We dated for a year, and we got married at a drive-through chapel in a cab. [We thought] you have to go down to the courthouse and sign papers and stuff, so who knew? We were married, and apparently now that [Rob] is getting married for real, his lawyer dug up something.”
