The EARLIEST SHOW
Lauren was nominated for an Emmy for her role as
Samantha Newman in this series
Lauren is the host of a few podcasts:
WITH SPECIAL GUEST LAUREN LAPKUS
an improv show which debuted at #1 on iTunes - Comedy
"Lapkus’s vocal dexterity and commitment to character has made her a hot commodity for animated series in recent years, but her exceptional improv skills are what made her a favorite on the Earwolf podcast network. She uses her reputation as one of the medium’s most reliable guests to her benefit with her solo project in which she invites different comedians and actors to “host” each week. The guest host sets a new fake premise for the podcast and Lapkus, with no prior knowledge of who she will be pretending to be, gamely plays along. The whole thing works so seamlessly that you hardly realize how impressive it is until you hear a few episodes in a row." - Vulture
NEWCOMERS
with Nicole Byer, where Lauren and Nicole watch all things Star Wars for the first time ever
Listed as one of the top 25 podcasts of 2020 by Oprah Magazine
THREEDOM
with Paul F. Tompkins
and Scott Aukerman
"Lapkus, Aukerman, and Tompkins are only human, after all, but when they are in a podcast studio improvising together and they lock into a gloriously silly groove, their hilarity borders on superhuman." -Splitsider
RAISED BY TV
with Jon Gabrus, where they deep dive in nostalgia
"At this point, Lapkus is basically a queen Midas of any podcast episode she touches, and listening to her regularly hold her own with veterans, it’s easy to understand why."
