So funnywoman Amy Sedaris is here at the Universal City Hilton, talking to reporters about narrating PBS' "Make 'Em Laugh: The Funny Business of America," which premieres next Wednesday, and about the online component -- where she appears onscreen -- which can already be found here.
(Yes, you can tell we're with PBS today because I'm putting the sponsorship up front.)
Anyway, there's only so much you can talk about a six-part history of an art form that the commercial networks have largely given up for dead before you have to branch out. So Sedaris, who cops to being less than Web-savvy, is asked about the site AmySedarisRocks.com.
The work of a Sedaris admirer rather than Sedaris herself, the Web site has the somewhat detached approval of its inspiration, who says she's met "Katie," who runs it, and even been to her house.
But does she read it?
No, she insists. "I don't want to read things about myself."
And if she did, "I'd go in and read it on the bathroom stall."
