Podcast appearances and mentions of jerri blank

“Blank Relay” (August 13, 2000) Honestly, we could have picked just about any episode of Strangers With Candy to focus on for this podcast about queer themes, but we ended up deciding on the one where we see Jerri Blank at her most girl hungry. It's light on Mr. Noblet and Mr. Jellineck, but we can always circle back to this one in another two hundred episodes, right? Watch the Exit 57 “Down in the Basement” sketch, which does not translate especially well to an audio-only format. Watch The Trip Back, the 1970 PSA featuring Florrie Fisher, the real-life inspiration for Jerri Blank. Listen to the two-part Rasputin episode of the Unexplained podcast. And we dropped a whole hell of a lot of Sam Pancake Presents the Monday Afternoon Movie episodes. Here are all of them: Angel Dusted with Gedde Watanabe (the one where Helen Hunt doesn't jump through a window) Desperate Lives with Arden Myrin (the one where she *does* jump through a window) It Happened One Christmas with Sarah Thyre The Cat Creature with Becky Thyre And finally Crowhaven Farm and A Vacation in Hell, both with Rose Abdoo

"Strangers with Candy" is a dark comedy television series that originally aired from 1999 to 2000. Created by Stephen Colbert, Paul Dinello, and Amy Sedaris, the show is a satirical take on the after-school specials of the 1970s and 1980s. Known for its dark humor, the series follows the misadventures of Jerri Blank, a 46-year-old, who after living as a prostitute and drug addict, decides to go back to high school in a misguided attempt to restart her life. Jerri's return sets the stage for a series of absurd situations as she navigates the challenges of being a high school student. Nearly 25 years after it premiered will the S1E1 guys enjoy this satiracle take on after school specials? Find out as they deep dive the pilot episode, "Old Habits, New Beginnings". Starring: Amy Sedaris, Stephen Colbert, Paul Dinello, Greg Hollimon, Roberto Gari, Deborah Rush, Larc Spies, Orlando Pabotoy, & Jenna Lamia www.S1E1POD.com Instagram & X (Twitter): @S1E1POD

Alaska and Willam, both authors, are extremely qualified to recap and critique this literary episode of Drag Race. The Top 5 queens play with puppets, tell ‘jokes jokes jokes jokes,' and then present three looks on the runway. Two of the categories might be described as “boo boo,” the Eleganza category featured some real creative prowess, while the full cast Jerri Blank performance was…out of left field.

What WE do in the shadows? We TALK to amazing people like Harvey Guillén, who joins Matt & Bowen on this terrific episode of Las Cultch to get into it on poppers culture, celebs being "on the A-list", the Met Gala and how Harvey celebrated but also lightly stuck it to Mr. Lagerfeld, Drag Race guest judging, Sasha Colby, shooting and auditioning for What We Do In The Shadows, Toronto cultures, rude men in fedoras, and navigating homophobia. Also, how Titanic and Kate Winslet gave way to Harvey's culture that made him say culture was for him: Peter Jackson, and the film Heavenly Creatures starring Kate and finalist Melanie Lynskey. All this, the origin of the middle finger, auditioning with Jerri Blank monologues, doing Wicked in Osaka, Japan, Hilary Duff's music, when you can really call yourself a New Yorker and the idea of wanting to smell like Johnny Depp.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another Effin' Podcast About Sitcom is four friends, Mo Laikowski, Stan Laikowski, Luke Ward and Dan McInerney, going through "Strangers with Candy" carefully pulling all of the joy out of it.

This week we review the sketch comedy adaptation Strangers with Candy. A lukewarm response from both Matt and Mark, Matt tries to dissect why 30 minute sketch comedy shows tend to limp into mediocre 90 minute films. It could be that while Amy Sedaris's Jerri Blank is funny for a 10 minute block, stretching this unlikable character to film length becomes challenging. Anyway, Mark has declared this the summer of 'funny', so let this be the vanguard.Download: 159 Strangers with Candy

We're replaying two recent favorites this week: first up, Amy Sedaris! Amy's made a career playing characters - and we say this with absolutely *zero* shade intended - people who are kind of grotesque and weird. The weirder and grosser the better - take Jerri Blank on Strangers with Candy or Mimi Kanasis on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, too. But on her show, At Home with Amy Sedaris, Amy pretty much plays herself. She talks with Jesse about how that's a transition out of her normal comfort zone. Also discussed: rabbits, monkfish, and girl scout badges! Then, Paul Reiser - the legendary standup and actor. You've seen him on Mad About You, Red Oaks and Whiplash and more. He also created the Hulu show There's Johnny. It takes place in the early 70s, behind the scene of the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Reiser knew Carson about as well as anybody could and dishes on what it was like appearing on his show almost a dozen times.

Ed and Ron talk to Natalie Hazen about her Nerd GOAT (and spirit animal): Jerri Blank! Jerri was a the focus of the short-lived but insanely hilarious show Strangers With Candy, which launched the careers of Amy Sedaris (Jerri) and Stephen Colbert, among others. Jerri was a 47-year-old former prostitute and hardcore drug addict who got clean and enrolled in high school. Natalie is a comedy writer who's contributed to shows on Netflix, Comedy Central, the Food Network, and the Nerdist Network. She is the host of the Scriptease Podcast. Natalie can be found on Twitter (@NatalieHazen), Instagram (@NatHaze) and at her own website, www.nataliehazen.com! QUOTES: "It's like a Scared Straight nightmare goes to DeGrassi." "You could look like fucking shit in the 70s and still be super famous." "I just saw blood squirting out of a neck stump." "Say frer jacques, motherfucker, RIGHT NOW!" "I can see Jerri Blank fucking Donald Trump." -- If you're in Los Angeles, catch Ed and Ron performing live at Geeky Teas for COSPLAY COMEDY on February 9! One will be Luke Skywalker, and one will be Middle-Aged Luke Cage. Guess who's who.

Also discussed: rabbits, monkfish, and girl scout badges! Then, the great Paul Reiser the legendary standup and actor. He's also the creator of a brand new TV series, it's called There's Johnny and it's premiering this week on Hulu. It takes place in the early 70s, behind the scene of the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Reiser knew Carson about as well as anybody could and dishes on what it was like appearing on his show almost a dozen times.

On today's show we talk to actor Maria Thayer. Originally from Oregon and then Minnesota, Maria's first major role was as Tammi Littlenut, Jerri Blank's best friend, on the incredible show Strangers With Candy. Since then, she's been in awesome project after awesome project including Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Arrested Development, and lately she's been co-starring in Chris Elliott's amazing Adult Swim show Eagleheart.In mid-August, Maria stopped by my Harlem studio to talk about childhood crushes, god as a terrorist, logic and meaning, synchronicity and complexity, her evangelical mother and libertine father, guns and pornography, social possibilities, and the chance that I may have discouraged a number of students from pursuing their dreams. And in "Andy's Learnin' Corner", I talk with my friend Ellena Chmielewski about crystals and energy - super fascinating!Check out the website for Beginnings, subscribe on iTunes, and follow me on Twitter!
