Janeane Garofalo had a marriage that lasted longer than most Hollywood unions do—but she had no idea. She and Rob Cohen, a writer for The Ben Stiller Show and now a Big Bang Theory producer, dated for a year and then "got married drunk in Vegas" in the 1990s as a joke, Garofalo revealed at a reunion for Stiller's show Saturday.

The marriage was finally dissolved over the weekend, reports the New York Post, because, as Garofalo explains, "now that [Rob] is getting married for real, his lawyer dug up something."
