	Amy Sedaris - About Amy Sedaris
		When Amy was young, she had a club called the Funny Face Club (she was the only member), and she would go door-to-door after Halloween and offer to take away her neighbors' pumpkins for 25 cents.
		When she was little, Amy would dress up, wear a wig and go to the grocery store with her father in character every week.
		When she was about 12, she'd dress up, call her father at work and proposition him, pretending to be a woman from the art gallery that her family frequented.

	NPR : Amy Sedaris: Writer, Actor, Cupcake Baker
		Weekend Edition Sunday, June 25, 2006 ·; As Jerri Blank, a former "user, boozer, and loser," Amy Sedaris contorts her face into a sad-sack overbite and wears both garish makeup and padding that gives her an over-sized midsection.
		Sedaris created the series -- and wrote the film -- with her fellow Second City alums, Stephen Colbert and Paul Dinello, who appear as teachers Chuck Noblet and Geoffrey Jellineck.
		These days, Sedaris lives in what she calls "a one bedroom kitchen," which is full of art, trinkets and oddities, from plastic meat displays to colorful cut-away models of the human body.

	Fametracker :: 2 Stars 1 Slot :: Battle of the Acid Amys :: Amy Poehler vs. Amy Sedaris
		Neither Amy Sedaris nor Amy Poehler is symmetrical or stauesque enough to pose much of a professional threat to Shields or Davis.
		In fact, one could say that the comic trademark of both Amys is their total lack of vanity in their pursuit of a laugh.
		It's almost as though Sedaris and Poehler have spent their professional lives trying to find as many ways as possible to make themselves repellent to the audience; the effect, however, has been quite the opposite.

	About Amy Sedaris and "Jerri Blank"
		Amy's younger sister Tiffany had been born shortly before the big move, so the youngest Sedaris sibling, Paul, is the only member of the family who is a native southerner.
		Amy met and worked with some of her future collaborators (Stephen Colbert, Paul Dinello, Mitch Rouse, Jackie Hoffman, Cynthia Caponera, David Pasquesi, Greg Hollimon) during this serendipitous period, too.
		No true Sedaris fan's "total Amy experience" is complete, however, without hearing her as a reader on the audio versions of her brother David's books: "Barrel Fever", "Naked", and "Holidays on Ice".

		Jerri was tough to look at -- Amy was really able to show the toll Jerri's rough life took on her -- and not exactly the nicest person in the world, but Amy made her into not only a funny character, but a symathetic one, too.
		Much like Bonnie Hunt, Amy brings out the best in Dave, and he gives her free reign to be as loopy as she wants to be.
		I especially liked her appearance on the episode that was taped at 4 AM; Dave let Amy give a tour of her West Village neighborhood, giving the stories behind odd stores and weird neighbors that only a longtime resident can give.
