Amy Sedaris

The Case for Amy Serdaris being the Best Person Ever:

• Her humor is intelligent, subversive, shocking, bizzare, and thouroughly unique, but in real life she’s modest, and unaffectly charming.

• Her apartment in the West Village, with an entire hallway wallpapered in candy bar wrappers, is clearly the 8th Wonder of the World.

• Inspired by candy necklaces, she once made a necklace entirely out of prescriptions drugs, with Oxycontin serving as the the center jewel.

• Although a successful actress, she sometimes works at as a waitress because she enjoys doing real work, and feels it keeps her grounded in reality. She also runs a small baking company out of her kitchen, because she enjoys baking muffins.

• She was responsible for getting Stephen Colbert into comedy, back when he was young, uptight, and set on becoming a dramatic actor.

• Amy’s cheeseballs are to die for.

• She’s possibly the least self-concious person in the world: Because she enjoys playing unattractive characters, buried under pounds of makeup, few people know she’s actually stunningly lovely.
