She’s had several specials on Comedy Central, including “Dirty Girl,” which was also released as a comedy album that was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2007.

The “Queen of Mean” joined the ranks of comedy greats with her 2009 HBO comedy special, “Long Live the Queen.” She shot her fifth stand-up special, “Back to the Drawing Board,” which premiered on EPIX in 2015 and was nominated for a Grammy Award that same year.
