Judy Lynn Tenuta was an American comedian, musician, and actress. She adopted the voice role of Black Widow in Space Ghost Coast to Coast after being interviewed by Space Ghost in the Space Ghost Coast to Coast episode "Elevator." A clip was reused in "20.01." She was interviewed again in "Anniversary," although parts of this interview had been previously teased in "Freak Show" and "Surprise," and reused in "Joshua."
In the full interview with David Cross and Bob Odenkirk before it was edited for use in "Gallagher," one of the topics of discussion was if Tenuta was funnier than Howie Mandel.
She also provided the voice of Munch Kelly in the controversially banned Cow and Chicken episode "Buffalo Gals," which is highly ironic given how integrated she was as a supporter of the LGBT community.
Tenuta died of ovarian cancer on October 6, 2022, at the age of 72.
