Chipper Cheri Oteri initially tickled funnybones as a member of L.A.'s celebrated improv group The Groundlings. Her big-time breakthrough came in 1995, when she landed a plum spot on Saturday Night Live, immediately contributing characters like cheerleader Arianna and cranky, crazy Brooklyn housewife Rita Delvecchio (based on Cheri's actual grandmother) to the show's ongoing roster of pop culture icons.

Chipper Cheri Oteri initially tickled funnybones as a member of L.A.'s celebrated improv group The Groundlings. Her big-time breakthrough came in 1995, when she landed a plum spot on Saturday Night Live, immediately contributing characters like cheerleader Arianna and cranky, crazy Brooklyn housewife Rita Delvecchio (based on Cheri's actual grandmother) to the show's ongoing roster of pop culture icons. Owing to her SNL success, Cheri scored supporting parts in movies such as Liar Liar (1997), Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997), and Inspector Gadget (1999), as well as meatier roles in Scary Movie (2000) and Love & Sex (2000). And just when Mr. Skin was afraid that the most skin we'd ever get from this spry little lady came via her impressions of Jennifer Lopez and Robin Byrd on SNL, she supplied a comedic--but hot--cheek peek to the Dumb and Dumber (1994) sequel Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd (2003). Although she reached the peak of her cultural-sexual relevance in the '90s and early '00s, Cheri is still working and, most importantly, is still sexy. She heated up the big screen in Southland Tales (2006), The Ant Bully (2006), Shrek the Third (2007), Grown Ups 2 (2013), and Benjamin (2019) and did the same to such small screen series as Curb Your Enthusiasm, Hot in Cleveland, Comedy Bang! Bang!, The Fairly OddParents, and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Nudity does not appear to be on the horizon for Ms. Oteri, but Mr. Skin won't stop praying for Cheri to share-i her pair-i.
