Janeane Garofalo has revealed that she was married for 20 years without even knowing it, said the New York Post. The comedian married her then-boyfriend Rob Cohen in Las Vegas in the 1990s as a drunken joke, but didn’t realize the nuptials had been duly registered. When comedy producer Cohen wanted to get married for real, his lawyers discovered his original marriage and the pair quickly dissolved the union. “We got married at a drive-through chapel in a cab,” she said. “[We thought] you have to go down to the courthouse and sign papers and stuff, so who knew?”
