Anjelah Nicole Johnson-Reyes (born May 14, 1982) is an American actress, stand-up comedian, and former NFL cheerleader. Johnson was a cast member on the series MADtv during its 13th season. Her characters included a Vietnamese nail salon employee named Mỹ Linh/Tammy, and a rude fast-food employee turned music star named Bon Qui Qui (the latter of which has become popular outside of Johnson's short stint on MADtv). Johnson was given her own one-hour Comedy Central special, Anjelah Johnson: That's How We Do It, in 2009. She also appeared in the films Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel and Our Family Wedding and provided her voice for the live-action adaptation of Marmaduke. As well, she was featured on the late night talk show Lopez Tonight, hosted by George Lopez.
In 2013, Johnson reprised her role as her MADtv character Bon Qui Qui for a skit released by Alexander Wang. Johnson's second stand-up comedy special titled Homecoming Show followed and premiered on Netflix. It was filmed in San Jose, California. On October 1, 2015, Johnson's third stand-up special, titled Anjelah Johnson: Not Fancy, was released on Netflix. It was filmed in southern California.
