Actress, comedienne, and mom Molly Shannon is one of our favorite talents. Her hilarious Saturday Night Live performances (such as her “Superstar” / Mary Katherine Gallagher role) made her a televlsion star before she broke into film with roles in a number of movies like Shallow Hal and Marie Antoinette. Molly lives in California with her partner Fritz Chesnut and their two children, Stella, 4, and Nolan, 3. Molly recently sat down with Cookie magazine and discussed life as a mom.
On what her children do to make her laugh: “My daughter likes to be Fancy Nancy. The other day she spilled hot chocolate on herself and said, “Oh no, now I am not fancy.” Stuff like that makes me laugh. My son says “pusz” instead of saying “because,” which is pretty funny.”
On her favorite family ritual: “I like hanging out at home and having Sunday dinner with the family and relaxing.”
On her most frazzled mom moment: “A while ago, I was flying into LAX with my two kids. While I was at the baggage claim, I was trying to balance the stroller with both of them in it and carry the bags, and there was just a lot going on. The stroller tipped over and the kids screamed, just because they were scared. But they were fine. This kind of thing happens to all moms, but it was one of those moments when some photographers were around. You just want to say, “Not now. I am a mom, not a celebrity.”"

Although they claim they are taking things slowly at this point, do you think Jason and Molly will get married?
