Janet Varney

The main reason why I attended HavenCon which in my opinion was a letdown, it was more of a costume convention than gaming. Regardless, meeting Janet made the whole process worth it.

You many know her from You’re the Worst, the mom from Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer and a few seasons of being co-host of TBS’s Dinner and a Movie with Paul Gilmartin. For many of us nerds, Janet will forever be remembered as the Korra’s voice in The Legend of Korra, a really great sequel to the well-loved cartoon The Last Avatar. If you know how Legend ends, Janet being the big guest at HavenCon made it rather obvious. I’m fine with the ending, it’s only a story about a fictional world, besides, not everything Nickelodeon does is necessarily made for children.

I congratulated her on getting a part in Dana Gould’s new, upcoming show Stan Against Evil and told her he said “hello” from the Moontower ComedyFest.

The autograph I received I have donated to the other “Korra” (it’s not spelled this way) as a gift to her parents. That little girl is going to be awesome when she grows up. Korra is a cooler name with a  backstory than anything from Game of Thrones.
