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 Tonight: PBS Will Make 'Em Laugh
Tonight PBS will begin airing the first episode of a six-part documentary called Make 'Em Laugh: The Funny Business of America, which explores all things comedic in America. The show features Amy Sedaris as narrator, and is hosted by comedy veteran Billy Crystal.

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.
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.
First Look: Mandy Moore, Billy Crudup in Dedication
There hasn't been much of a publicity push for Dedication, a strange little indie romantic dramedy starring Mandy Moore and Billy Crudup, which can sometimes be a very good sign. After all, the last two movies I saw with Moore in them (Because I Said So, License to Wed) enjoyed major marketing pushes and then turned out to be some of the year's most embarrassing disappointments. For Moore's sake, I hope Dedication is a quality movie so we can see that it's not the actress that was the problem — it was the material.
Amy Sedaris Meets "Andy Barker" Online
The new Andy Richter comedy, "Andy Barker, P.I." starts its five-episode run on NBC this Thursday. But there's actually a sixth episode of the show that guest-stars one of my favorite funny ladies, Amy Sedaris.
