Background
Gore was raised in Washington, D.C., graduated from National Cathedral School in 1995 and from Harvard University in 1999.[2] While at Harvard she was an editor for the Harvard Lampoon: Until her senior year, at Harvard, she was the only woman on the literary board of the Harvard Lampoon. 'I didn't know its reputation at all,' she says. 'It was just that the funniest people I knew at Harvard were on the Lampoon, so I looked into it and it ended up being one of the best things I did.'[3]
Career
Gore has published three novels, Sammy's Hill (2004), Sammy's House (2007), and Sweet Jiminy (2011).[4][5][6] She co-wrote the screenplay for the currently halted film Nailed and the narration for the 2007 documentary Arctic Tale. She was also a writer for the FOX animated sitcom Futurama and the long-running NBC sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live.[3]
In 1999, Gore sang backup vocals on a Diva Zappa comedy single called "When The Bell Drops" about Zappa's "hunt for someone to make out with on the Millennium".[7] Tipper Gore played drums on the recording.[8]
Personal life
Gore married Paul Cusack, a former district director for ex-Massachusetts U.S. Representative Marty Meehan, in 2005. The couple divorced in 2009.[9]
