Lisa is portrayed by Emily Pendergast. She’s best known for her role as Beth Ryan on Veep with Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Her character Beth was the “enthusiastically ignorant” wife of presidential candidate Sen. Jonah Ryan (Timothy Simons) on the seventh and final season.
You can see Emily next on the big screen in the upcoming comedy We Broke Up, which was directed and co-written by Jeff Rosenberg (The Good Place, Veep, OJ: The Musical).
Or, maybe you recognize Emily from the hilarious FOX NFL “A Beautiful Mind” sketch below!
The Conners airs Wednesdays at 9 pm on ABC, right after American Housewife at 8:30 pm, and The Goldbergs at 8 pm.
