TV Tonight: Amy Sedaris Takes on The Closer
I can't quite explain it, but there's something just completely adorable to me about imagining Kyra Sedgwick and Amy Sedaris in a room together. I think the two would have hilarious conversations. And tonight, we get to find out what it's like when they're acting side-by-side, as Sedaris shows up on the first of two episodes of The Closer.

TV News Tidbits: Amy Sedaris, Jada Pinkett Smith, and More
It's that time again! The twice-yearly Television Critics Association press tour kicked off in Los Angeles this week, which means the TV news is going to flow fast and furious for the next week or so. PBS and cable take the stage this week, and then the network portion kicks in early next week, when Molly and I will be flying down to LA to blog and Twitter this tour ourselves!

Strangers with Candy Crew Reunites . . . For Kids
I wouldn't exactly name Strangers with Candy, the 1999 Comedy Central series, as an example of child-friendly fare. And if I were looking to make an actual after-school special — not a Strangers-style spoof — I don't think creator Paul Dinello and star Amy Sedaris would be the first people I'd call.
But Nickelodeon is apparently way, way cooler than I am: The network has hired Dinello to direct Gym Teacher: The Movie, which will air on Nick in September.
This Just In: Amy Sedaris Is a Stranger With Real Estate Candy
According to Big Time, funny woman Amy Sedaris has forked over $1.3 million for a 900-square-foot, 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo in Manhattan's West Village. She must have been charmed by the property, as she paid $50k over the asking price. The listing for the property reads:
Fabulous one-of-a-kind apartment full of original detail and prewar charm.
Guess Who Took This Photograph?
A celebrity interior designer, who was once featured as a Designer Spotlight here, took these photographs of Amy Sedaris. Can you guess who it is?
How To: Make a Decoupaged Accent Table
I'm a big fan of both Todd Oldham and Amy Sedaris, and when those two join forces there's no way I can avert my eyes from all the good advice and funny banter. In this video, they show you how to decoupage a cute accent table, though the lesson is served up with a side of cheeky commentary — and I wouldn't want it any other way!

A friend of mine sent me this video of Amy Sedaris and her rabbits at their cupcake shop. And to be totally honest, it's one of the best things I've seen in a long time. The video is actually a commercial for the latest version of Microsoft Office, but the whole first half features them behind the scenes at their cupcake shop.
Music Video: Dolly Parton, "Better Get to Livin'" (With Amy Sedaris!)
This is officially the most sunshiney moment of my day! Not only is Dolly Parton's video for her song "Better Get to Livin'" funny, adorable and full of fantastic outfits, but it features the hilarious Amy Sedaris as the circus lady telling the sad masses to "step right up!" This character also appears to be Dolly's friend.
