The Longest Shortest Time

EPISODE #78: Lauren Lapkus Answers Kids’ Unanswerable Questions

Maybe you know Lauren Lapkus as the nice prison guard from Orange Is the New Black. Or the sketch comedy series The Characters. Or her awesome podcast With Special Guest Lauren Lapkus.

Back before Lauren was a comedian and actor, she had a long career as a babysitter. And before that, of course, she was a kid. Here’s what she looked like.
