In part 2 of my interview with Jodi, we talked a lot about the struggles of balancing motherhood and family life while working in production: finding what works for your family, being present for your kids when you get the chance, but also how to take time for yourself without feeling guilty and knowing that it’s ok to just do nothing. Jodi also talks about what it’s like working on SNL and watching the cast members grow, her favorite Kristen Wiig story, and her thoughts on the world of social media today.

ABOUT JODI:

Jodi Mancuso is the Hair Designer on SNL, but you can also catch some of her work in Portlandia, among other things. Jodie grew up in the Bronx, and as a child, she was always watching her mother do hair. Jodi’s mom’s passion for hair was validated when her childhood friend (who was one of the top hair designers on Broadway) encouraged her to pursue hair, and so in her 40s, she went to hair school. Her mother then got started in production and worked her way up from the bottom. Jodi dropped out at 16 to get her GED and started working with her mom off-broadway.

Jodi eventually got married and her husband’s dream was to open a pizzeria, so they did, but she hated it, and really yearned for a creative outlet, and found her way to SNL.
