[edit] Background
Gore was raised in Washington, D.C., graduated from National Cathedral School in 1995 and from Harvard University in 1999 [1]. She played lacrosse in high school. While at Harvard she was an editor for the Harvard Lampoon, where she was the only female on staff for a few years: "Until her senior year, at Harvard, she was the only woman on the literary board of the Harvard Lampoon. 'I didn't know its reputation at all,' she says. 'It was just that the funniest people I knew at Harvard were on the Lampoon, so I looked into it and it ended up being one of the best things I did.' [2]
In 2005 Gore married Paul Cusack of Westwood, Massachusetts.[3] He was the district director for U. S. Representative Martin T. Meehan from Massachusetts.[4]
[edit] Career

She has been a writer and story editor for the animated series Futurama, Charlie Lawrence and Saturday Night Live. Gore worked with her father, Al Gore during this time: "One of her favorite gigs was the week she wrote for Saturday Night Live which was also a week her father was on the show. She wrote a monologue for him that was a parody of The Bachelor, in which he and Joe Lieberman — played by Chris Parnell — ended up in a hot tub together. 'My father thought it was funny,' she says." [5] For her work on SNL, she was nominated for an Emmy Award. [6][7]
