Roberta is an awkward, oversharing guest played by Cheri Oteri on Saturday Night Live. In her 1999 Thanksgiving sketch she invites herself to her accounts-payable colleague's family dinner, where she lists her eight cats, offers an unwanted Christian grace to a Jewish household and recounts unsettling travel stories. SNL Archives also credits the character in a November 1995 party sketch.
