In addition to hosting FOX’s reboot of the classic game show “Name That Tune,” she was most recently seen in “Elsbeth” and as the showstopping Bobbie Flanagan in Apple’s musical series “Schmicago,” a follow up to the critical and popular hit “Schmigadoon!” in which she also starred.

Meet. Fan. She starred on Broadway in the Roundabout Theater Company’s production of She Loves Me (Outer Critics Circle Award, Astaire Award, Drama Desk Award and Tony nomination). She earned a Tony Award, a Drama Desk Award and an Outer Critics Circle Award for her portrayal of Carla in the Broadway musical Nine, and a Tony nomination for Grand Hotel. Other Broadway credits include Company, Once Upon a Mattress, Tartuffe, and Starlight Express. She won an Olivier Award while starring in Guys and Dolls in the West End and starred in the Encores! revival of Damn Yankees.

Krakowski released her solo debut album, “The Laziest Gal in Town,” a CD recording captured during her cabaret nightclub debut at the Park Avenue hotspot, Feinstein’s at Loews Regency, and performed a one-woman cabaret act to a sold-out crowd at NYC’s legendary Town Hall Theater.
