The Mommies is the name of an American female former comedy duo whose comedic trademark was their real-life tales of suburban life, domestication, family, marriage and other odds and ends.^[1]

The duo consisted of Marilyn Kentz and Caryl Kristensen, who met as neighbors in Petaluma, California in the late 1980s.^[1] It was their family and friends that convinced them that they should take a chance and start an act because they had a knack for comedy.

Their act caught the attention of NBC, who saw potential in the team after one of the executives caught their performance on a TV show. They eventually signed a contract for a television show with NBC. The duo later hosted a talk show on ABC.^[1]

Since 2009, Kristensen has been chief operating officer of a video interview service,^[2] while Kentz returned to stand-up in 2014.
