Monika Smith
Monika Smith, a teacher at The Second City Hollywood, has landed a regular gig on MTV's Disaster Date - a hilarious new hidden camera dating show that puts unsuspecting singles on the worst blind date of their lives. And it all comes courtesy of a best friend looking for payback.
The daters are unwittingly set up with a comedic improv actor (Monika) whose only job is to turn the date into a complete mess by breaking all of the dating rules. But the actor won't do it alone because the friend directs all the action from the control room feeding personal information about the dater to the actor. After all, who knows how to push the dater's buttons better than a best friend?
You can catch Disaster Dates every weekday on MTV!
In addition to Disaster Dates, Monika can be seen as a recurring character on Spike TV's Players, as a recurring character on Comedy Central's Rich Dicks, and most recently on Apples to Apples.
The Second City Training Center is proud to launch its new web series Comedy Exposed with Jimmy Carrane! Each week, Mr. Carrane will interview all sorts of fascinating people from the Training Center community; teachers, directors, students, alums, and even some behind-the-scenes folks that keep the machine moving. This week, Jimmy interviews veteran teacher, author, director, and all-around great lady with an encyclopedic brain for everything Second City… Ms. Anne Libera.
