Trivia: Studied classical piano and puppetry as a child, and though admittedly shy as a youngster, she decided to give performing a try after college, beginning with work in commercials. The Hollywood writer's strike in 2007 put her TV and movie aspirations on hold, but provided an opportunity to hone her music and comedy skills in live performances around Los Angeles, which ultimately led to greater exposure and appearances on TV series such as Scrubs, 'Til Death and Raising Hope. In late 2000s, formed comedy duo Garfunkel & Oates—named after well-known second bananas in music—with Riki Lindhome (Garfunkel); their songs have become online and TV staples, and earned them their own episode on Comedy Central's The Half Hour in 2012. Is an ardent supporter of the Fourth of July Kazoo Parade in her hometown of Nazareth, PA, and was grand marshal for the 6th annual procession in 2010.

Trivia: Comedianne Amy Sedaris confronts vulgarity with a daring innocence to create her wickedly absurd characters. You may best remember her as America's most lovable skank, Jerri Blank, from the hyper-irreverent series Strangers With Candy. Raised in North Carolina, Sedaris got her start at Second City in Chicago before moving to N.Y.C. to write plays with her brother, author David Sedaris, who has hilariously documented their family's history in many of his novels. Calling themselves "The Talent Family," they wrote, directed, and starred in numerous plays in N.Y.C., winning some Obie and Drama Desk awards. Along with fellow Second City vets Stephen Colbert and Paul Dinello, she wrote and starred in the sketch show Exit 57, which ran on Comedy Central.Sedaris has made a few small appearances on the big screen, from minor roles in major studio releases like Six Days, Seven Nights and Maid in Manhattan to short films like Bad Bosses Go to Hell; however, her breakthrough performance was in the TV series Strangers With Candy. An absurdist satire of afterschool specials, the show only ran from April 1999 to October 2000 on Comedy Central. Sedaris wrote it with her old cohorts from Second City, and also birthed the character of Jerri Blank, the ex-junkie and former prostitute who goes back to high school at age 46. In its 30-episode run, the show gained her a devoted following and several other television appearances. Though cancelled, sales of the show's DVD sets proved profitable enough to warrant a feature, and in 2006 Sedaris and company transferred their skewed worldview to the big screen, with a feature-length installment of Strangers With Candy. Packed with star cameos and even-cruder-than-cable-allows humor, the movie seemed destined to become a cult hit.Sedaris continues to work in the theater, while also running a cupcake and cheeseball business out of her West Village home, collecting taxidermied animals, and sometimes appearing on Sex and the City and Just Shoot Me. In collaboration with Dinello and Colbert, she is also co-author of the book Wigfield: The Can-Do Town That Just May Not.
