By trade, Whitney Cummings is an American actress, the sort of name that reassures a producer more than it excites a marketing department. Whatever else is on the list, Stephanie in 'Made of Honor' is the one people name. 'The Wedding Ringer' belongs on any short list of her work. The parts have grown in size over the years rather than in billing. More often than not, the job has been comedy. Neither format has claimed her outright: the work runs across film and television.

By trade, Whitney Cummings is an American actress, the sort of name that reassures a producer more than it excites a marketing department. Whatever else is on the list, Stephanie in 'Made of Honor' is the one people name. 'The Wedding Ringer' belongs on any short list of her work. The parts have grown in size over the years rather than in billing. More often than not, the job has been comedy. Neither format has claimed her outright: the work runs across film and television.
Whitney Cummings (born September 4, 1982) is an American stand-up comedian, actress, former model, and creator for NBC's Whitney, and co-creator of CBS' 2 Broke Girls.
Raised in Georgetown, Washington DC, Cummings got her start in media with a journalism internship at the local NBC affiliate. A magna cum laude graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Cummings holds a degree in Communications and film.
After moving to Los Angeles, Cummings made a name for herself as a cast member for MTV's series Punk'd, while balancing film roles and a touring comedy presence. Her gender-based comedy quickly caught the eye of television producers and critics alike, with Variety naming her one of top 10 comics to watch, followed by a string of successful television appearances.
