The Roomsies
- Meet Jenny and Meagan
Jenny Donheiser and Meagan Kensil met their freshman year at NYU where they went to study drama with the Atlantic Theater Company, but preferred to study giggling. They quickly found that they shared the same undying love for Jimmy Fallon, the same penchant for staring at strangers on the subway, and the same fascination with puppies that wear shoes.
Since then they've lived together for five years.
They've lived in dorms, in cold apartments with mice that ate their panties, in a house with a pet canary named after their Greek landlord, and worked all the same dayjobs. They've laughed, they've cried, they've slept head to foot.
Jenny Donheiser is from Dallas, TX. She is an actor, writer, comedian, and Olympic gymnast.
Meagan Kensil is from Valencia, CA. She is an actor, writer, dancer, and part-time bounty hunter.

Have you ever gone out dancing to get over an ex and found that all your favorite pop music actually just made you feel worse?
Sounds like you need a good dance cry.
SEASON 2 FINALE
DANCE CRYING
Sneak Peek at Season Finale tomorrow!
HOW DID WE MAKE SUCH A MESS?!?!
Tune in tomorrow to find out!
Nona Raybern, our new internet friend over at Daily of the Day, posted The Bachelorettes and it sparked an entire conversation about Jenny’s boobs.
Here’s what Nona had to say this time:
“The Roomsies is one of my new favorite YouTube series right now. I don’t know how Jenny Donheiser and Meagan Kensil do it so well, but pretty much every story they tell is a hilarious spoof of actual life as roommates. We previously featured one of their videos, but their latest about dating was just too humorously awkward not to share.”We highly recommend you check out the comment thread on the link.
Thanks, Blazye!
Hope you liked the ‘Girls’ reference in yesterday’s sketch!
Jenny’s a Hannah-Jessa hybrid and Meagan’s a Shosh-Hannah-EarlySeason1NotAsCrazyMarnie
Meagan joined Jenny and our friend Janna over at Lady Products for the Cinco de Mayo LLGoT this week. They drank really gross margaritas, and clearly Meagan could not keep up…
Senoritas Love Game of Thrones!
Hey also!
Did you guys know we’re being featured on the front page of CMDY.com right now?!
Check it out. Some of our other favorite sketch groups have stuff featured there right now, too.
It’s a great site for getting you a through a terrible day job… not that we do that or anything.
We’re ready to find love, you guys.
THE BACHELORETTES
Featuring Benj Mirman and Mike Steinmetz (of Verizon fame)
No new Roomsies until next week, so if you haven’t already, check out the other funny thing Jenny’s been up to:
LadiesLoveGameOfThrones
She and our friend Janna Emig have been nerding out with wine over at Lady Products and it’s pretty entertaining.
Watch out for spoilers, though, GoT fans!
Also - while making this post, Jenny explained to Meagan that LL Cool J’s name stands for ladies love cool jams and Meagan truly couldn’t believe it.
We made a complete stranger laugh and we are so happy about it!
Check out this great website, Daily of the Day. We will definitely be adding it to our daily rotation of funny interweb spots.
Here’s what contributor Nona Raybern had to say about us:
So, I was doing my usual surfing around YouTube when I stumbled across this great web series from The Roomsies that chronicles the life of two female roommates and the usual (or unusual?) roommate struggles. The series is entirely done by Jenny Donheiser and Meagan Kensil and now I wish that I could be friends with them.
Follow her for more goodies: @NonaReneeDotD
SEASON 2 EPISODE 2:
THIRD ROOMSIE
Featuring special guest (and our real life other roomsie), ARIELLE SIEGEL
Get your headphones on if you’re at work! This one is a bit #loud and pretty #NSFW.
To prepare for today’s episode of Roomsies, Meagan watched this video.
Seeya at 1pm sistazzz.
New Roomsies tomorrow, guys!
It’s gonna get NSFW up in here again.
#SEXYTIME
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_m1oPybUdkWe give you episode 1 of Sebby & Dani and also Dan!
This is a delightful webseries also about roommates starring three very funny people, one of which we were very lucky to have directing us for season 2 (DAN!)
We figured you needed something to laugh about this Wednesday since there’s no Roomsies until next week. Yeah no worries, we got you girl.
The lovely Castling is one of our dear fans, and she’s rooting for us again over at the All Things Fangirl blog.
Check her out at @castling and on her tumblr, too!
THE HOUSEGUEST HAS ARRIVED!
His name is Andrew Farmer.
Check him out in Gentleman Party at The PIT or on the youtube!
We hope you enjoy part one in the mini-story that is Season 2 of Roomsies. That’s right, there’s a story this time. Sorta Kinda.
ROOMSIES SEASON 2 PREMIERES TOMORROW!
We are metaphorically donning our best dresses and Meagan is metaphorically cleaning dirt off of Jenny’s tights in anticipation.
Interpret that how you will.
Seeya tomorrow afternoon, FREAKS.
