Comedian Married Unknowingly For 20 Years

An American comedian realised she had been legally married for 20 years.

Janeane Garofalo was speaking at a New York Comedy Festival reunion for The Ben Stiller Show.

The New York Post reported how the 48-year-old explained she married writer Rob Cohen as a joke in Las Vegas in the 1990s.

It seems to have been a classic case of a drunken, Vegas wedding, except Ms Garofalo and her husband did not realise the marriage was official.

"Rob and I got married, for real, which we had to have a notary dissolve not 30 minutes before we got here tonight," Garofalo said.

"We were married for 20 years until this evening," she told the audience.

"We got married drunk in Vegas. We dated for a year, and we got married at a drive-through chapel in a cab. [We thought] you have to go down to the courthouse and sign papers and stuff, so who knew?

"We were married, and apparently now that [Rob] is getting married for real, his lawyer dug up something," Garofalo said.

The couple got a quick divorce Saturday in New York, with the split notarized at a midtown bank.
