The Many Funny Faces of Jane Lynch

The 40 Year Old Virgin, 2005
This Judd Apatow feature reunited Lynch with her fellow Second City comedy troupe alum, Steve Carell. In the film she plays Paula, the randy boss of Carell's character Andy. "I'm very discreet — but I will haunt your dreams," said Lynch's character to Andy when she offers to solve his coital dilemma by being his "friend with benefits".
