I can't imagine what someone would think of Amy Sedaris based solely on the video I've posted below. For somebody not acquainted with her bizarre uniqueness, nor her stream-of-consciousness appearances on The Late Show, what you're about to watch might possibly be jolting, in a way. Or maybe eye-opening.
Amy Sedaris is an accomplished comedic actress, author, sister of David Sedaris, and all around genital-obsessed freak show. She once pitched a children's book about an animal whose been skinned alive, and she dreams of creating a tv show wherein every week the hostess must overcome a great physical problem (like, say, having no legs) in order to cook dinner that night.
I don't know how or why Amy Sedaris is like this. Her brother David has a similar manner; they share the same appreciation for fringe, but David is a lot more neurotic and self-conscious than Amy is. You really get the impression, or at least I do, that this woman is fearless. She's not so much a human being as she is a force of nature, something that can't and never will be tamed. She just is, and for that, all we can do is watch her.

I love Amy Sedaris! I have her book. It's great.
LJ user craftybeaver knows Amy and runs her biggest fan site and you should make her aware of this exquisite clip video.
so she's like The Joker?
also The Other Sister makes me cry at the end when the marching band shows up
she's so bizarre and funny - but for some reason, i always get her mixed up with kristen chenowith.
I freakin' LOVE Amy! I used to watch Strangers With Candy religiously, and I love her book with Stephen Colbert, Wigfield. She's just hilarious.
