Jennifer Coolidge has kept her personal life relatively private, with few details publicly available about her current relationship status.
In 2006, she guest starred on an episode of Top Chef, and played Adam Sandler's wife's friend, Janine, in the comedy film Click. She appeared in the 2006 film Date Movie as a spoof of Barbra Streisand's Meet the Fockers character. The film received unfavorable critic reviews and Rotten Tomatoes ranked the film 77th in the 100 worst reviewed films of the 2000s, with a rating of 6%. However, Variety did praise Coolidge for providing a few bright moments with a spot-on spoof of Streisand, albeit otherwise unimpressed describing the film as "padded and repetitious".
In 2020, she starred in Like a Boss, the first studio comedy film of the 2020s, for Paramount Pictures, co-starring with Tiffany Haddish, Rose Byrne, and Salma Hayek. Coolidge had a supporting role in Emerald Fennell's directorial debut Promising Young Woman as the mother of Carey Mulligan's character, Cassie. The movie received universal acclaim upon release.
In 2024, Coolidge starred in and executive produced Dito Montiel's comedy film Riff Raff. She told Forbes that, when she was offered the role, "I've never been offered a part like her. […] There’s a certain woman that I've played quite a few times - some sort of rich, spoiled woman or something, but this was something very different. This was someone who had a pretty decent beginning of her life, but ended up not desired by her ex-husband anymore and very lost."

Education
Coolidge attended Norwell High School and later studied at Emerson College in Boston, where she honed her acting skills.
She attended Norwell High School in Norwell and Cambridge School of Weston in Weston, Massachusetts, and then Emerson College in Boston and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. During college, Coolidge aspired to be a dramatic actress similar to Meryl Streep, but instead pursued comedic character acting. As a student at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Coolidge worked as a waitress in a restaurant alongside Sandra Bullock, who also aspired to be an actress.
Coolidge made her first television appearance in the November 1993 Seinfeld episode "The Masseuse". In 1994, she was a regular on She TV, a short-lived sketch comedy that also featured Nick Bakay, Elon Gold, Simbi Khali, and Linda Kash. She had small roles appearing in such films as Not of This Earth, A Bucket of Blood, Plump Fiction, and A Night at the Roxbury. She also voiced Luanne's beauty school teacher, Miss Kremzer, in a recurring role on King of the Hill. She worked with The Groundlings, an improv and sketch comedy troupe based in Los Angeles. In June 1995, Coolidge unsuccessfully auditioned for Saturday Night Live.
Epic Movie, released in 2007 and made by the same people behind Date Movie, was the first movie in which she received a starring role. In the film she played the "White Bitch" (the White Witch) of Gnarnia (Narnia), a lampoon of the Disney and Walden Media film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. A. O. Scott of The New York Times called the film "irreverent and also appreciative, dragging its satiric prey down to the lowest pop-cultural denominator" and added, "The humor is coarse and occasionally funny. The archly bombastic score ... is the only thing you might call witty. But happily, Jennifer Coolidge and Fred Willard show up ... to add some easy, demented class."
