Hooks left SNL in 1991 after being asked by Linda Bloodworth-Thomason to replace Jean Smart on the CBS sitcom Designing Women. She has since made appearances in several movies and had a recurring role as the trashy Vicki Dubcek on 3rd Rock from the Sun, earning Hooks an Emmy Award nomination. She guest-starred on two cartoons for the FOX Network: The Simpsons, as Apu’s new wife, Manjula and Futurama, in the episode Bendless Love, as the voice of a female robot named Angleyne. She also had a memorable role in Pee-wee’s Big Adventure as a know-it-all tour guide at the Alamo. Hooks made a cameo appearance in the 1992 movie Batman Returns as Jen, the Penguin’s image consultant during his campaign to become Mayor of Gotham City. In 2010 she was a guest star on 30 Rock, playing Jenna’s mom, Verna. Tragically, Jan Hooks died on October 9, 2014 at the age of 57 after reportedly suffering from a serious illness.
