Hats off to the 100 Women We Love, class of 2008 (in no particular order, 'cause we love 'em all!).

Chantal Carrere

“Everybody kept telling me I was funny,” says comedian and soon-to-be reality star Chantal Carrere of her segue into the biz. “Then I got dumped and I was like, I have nothing to lose, so I’ll just try it. I think that’s how a lot of comics start out—broken and abused.” But from humble beginnings came great things for Carrere, who has since emerged as a successful standup, and recently wrapped filming on ABC’s Fat March, a reality show about 12 overweight people who walk nearly 600 miles from Boston to Washington, DC. “It’s over.
