Laurie Kilmartin appears on VH1's Best Week Ever and has made appearances on many late night shows including Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Late Show, among others. If you don't get the opportunity to catch her doing stand-up in New York City, make sure to check out her writing on 236.com, which should be online soon. And of course, if you're in need of a friend, send her a friend request on MySpace at MySpace.com/LaurieKilmartin.

Q: Female comics have long battled the stigma and stereotypes of being inferior humorists. Your stellar routine and continued success exposes this myth as false. What advice would you give to other aspiring female comedians?

LK: Such a loaded question! Be funny, and be nice to other female comics, even though the industry will pit you against each other. Oh, and don't fuck male comics. They are insane. And you will run into them for the rest of your career and it will be awkward.

Q: Your MySpace page boldly states "No Friend Request Goes Unapproved... Guaranteed!" That kind of benevolent spirit is commendable, but we can't help but think you've kicked at least one request to the curb. Care to tell us his name?

LK: I haven't! I've taken on every freak who's asked.

Q: On top of being a witty comedian, you were a former competitive swimmer for UCLA (Go Bruins!). What was your top time in one of your heats?

LK: I won't tell you, because my lifetime best would be considered pathetic now. I wouldn't even make a Division III team. I lucked into UCLA because they were building their women's team at the time and could afford to take on an average Jane like me.

Q: NBC's new show Age of Love is a reality dating series that features Australian tennis star Mark Philippoussis as he looks for love in women in their 20s as well as women in their 40s. In your opinion, do any of the "cougars" really stand a chance?

LK: Nobody who appears on a reality dating show has a chance at anything, ever. And the women in their 20s will have to live with their pathetic, desperate selves twenty years longer than the women in the 40s, so they have it worse.

Q: What's a fact about working on "Best Week Ever," that the fans would be shocked to learn?

LK: I spend at least 5 hours writing jokes for each episode . It's entirely normal to shoot an hour's worth of jokes and appear on the show for less than 45 seconds.

Q: Borrowing the famous question by Robert Schuller, "What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail?

LK: Another baby, it's so much more fun than I thought it would be.

Q: If we were able to peek at your iPod playlist, what songs would we find in heavy rotation?

LK: I'm probably going to write a spec script of 30 Rock this summer, so I've been watching a lot of those on the subway. I also liked the podcasts of the Battlestar Gallactica writers. I'm lazy about music, I just listen to the radio.

Q: Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?

LK: Oh yes! Infants have no guilt, no double lives and no STDs. Adulterers usually have two of the three.

Q: Where can we catch more of you this year?

LK: I'm writing for a political comedy site that will launch at the end of July. It's being funded by Barry Diller, and it's a sister site to Huffington Post. It's called 236.com. Right now, we're in beta, so come by in about 5 weeks. As for standup, just spots in the city. Can't leave town for awhile.

Q: Let's end with word association. We say wombat and you say...

LK: Prince William.
