Emily Prager (born April 21, 1948) is an American author, journalist, actress and comedian.
She is a graduate of the Brearley School, Barnard College and has a master's degree in Applied Linguistics.
[3] Prager is one in a handful of microscopically short-lived cast members, joining Laurie Metcalf (who did appear on the episode Prager didn't, but only on Weekend Update), SCTV cast member Catherine O'Hara (who quit after being hired on SNL and didn't appear in the season six finale), and Shane Gillis (who was fired two weeks before he could appear in the season 45 premiere when evidence of him using racial slurs was uncovered).
She was a writer-performer in the cult film Mr. Mike's Mondo Video and Robert Longo's Arena Brains.
Her works include a compendium of her humor writing, In the Missionary Position, the acclaimed short story collection A Visit From the Footbinder and Other Stories, the novels Eve's Tattoo, Clea and Zeus Divorce, and Roger Fishbite, and a memoir, Wuhu Diary.
