Ooooh, we love Amy Sedaris. Her appearances on David Letterman are the stuff of dreams. She has a magic, no?
While we are still anxiously awaiting Sedaris’ new TV project, our Amy is taking part in the PBS series Make ‘Em Laugh: The Funny Business of America. It’s a six-installment documentary airing this January that “explores the currents of American comedy throughout a century of social and political change” (pbs.com)
Besides the whole ‘thought provoking television’ shtick that PBS is so keen on, we also love the fact Billy Crystal will introduce each episode while the fabulous Ms. Sedaris narrates. Cool, right?
But here’s the thing . . .
In abstract terms, it sounds like an amazing project. And we’re always down for Amy. In theory, we’re glad Amy wants to Make ‘Em Laugh . . . but for once she might kinda fail. Yeah. Blasphemy. We know. We didn’t want to believe it ourselves. But Amy’s scripted bits in the new online installment, "Teh Internets" (despite the amazing title) aren’t that funny . . .
Rough.
However, our fellow bloggers Tracie (formerly known as "Slut Machine") from Jezebel and Gabe from Videogum are quite lovely and charming.
Check the episode out HERE if you don’t believe us. Which you don’t. That’s fine. We understand. We lie a lot. And Amy is still fabulous.
