Catching up with Janeane Garafolo ...

She has managed the transition, she said, because she has "prioritized in my personal life." As listeners know, she stopped drinking four years ago, with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous. Living alone with her three dogs, she rarely goes out much, Ms. Garofalo said. "Paying attention to news, paying attention to politics, those things are important to me as I've gotten older," she says. "What isn't important is how fat I am and my face falling, that I don't have a man in my life, those things magazines waste a lot of time on."
