Early life

Vigman was born to a British mother and an American father. Her father was born to Jewish parents, whereas her mother converted to Judaism.

Vigman attended Colgate University, graduating in 1994.

Career

She started her professional comedy career in Chicago working for The Second City. Prior to joining the cast of MADtv, Vigman toured with The Second City National Touring Company in 2000, to launch its 20th anniversary S season.

She first appeared on MADtv in the eighth episode of the eighth season in a sketch called "The Real Bachelor."

She made appearances on several television shows like I Love the '90s, Scrubs, World Cup Comedy and Cupid before starring in the ABC comedy Sons & Daughters, playing the role of Liz Walker. After Sons & Daughters, Vigman appeared on a number of hit shows including According to Jim, Parks and Recreation, and New Girl, before landing the recurring part of Jill Werner on Suburgatory in 2011. Her film credits include The Hangover series, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, After the Sunset, Dragonfly, and Love 101.

She has appeared in various commercials, including for Hanes, Jack in the Box, Chase, Swiffer, Splenda, Esurance, 1-800 Contacts, DirecTV, United Airlines, Rooms to Go, Buick, Real California Milk, and Progressive Insurance.
