Lennon Parham

Lennon isn’t just another name in the credits—she’s the kind of multi-hyphenate who makes you wonder if she ever sleeps. She co-created and starred in the USA series Playing House, a show that ran for three seasons and racked up plenty of critical love. It wasn’t just another sitcom; it had that rare blend of sharp writing and genuine heart, and Lennon was right at the center of it. She also popped up on HBO’s Veep as Karen Collins, the “common sense” advisor who seemed to have missed a few memos, trading hilarious barbs with Julia Louis-Dreyfus. That role alone? Gold. But she doesn’t just stick to one lane. Lennon’s face has shown up all over the TV landscape—one episode she’s haunting Fox’s Ghosted, the next she’s making things weird in Netflix’s Lady Dynamite, and then she’s on Mad Men or Parks and Rec, usually stealing scenes with a killer one-liner or some perfectly awkward timing. She’s got this knack for popping up where you least expect her and making the whole thing about ten times funnier. Her film credits aren’t just background noise, either. Lennon’s played flashy supporting roles in movies like Horrible Bosses 2, where she holds her own with comedy heavyweights, Confessions of a Shopaholic, and the indie gem Other People. Doesn’t matter if it’s TV or film, comedy or drama—she brings this offbeat, relatable energy that just works. Honestly, if you spot her name, you know you’re in for something a little smarter and a lot funnier than you bargained for.
