Forget that the actual definition of a chain gang involves convicted criminals repaying their debt to society by smashing rocks in the blazing sun, and instead imagine a chain of hilarious women connected through their chosen area of comedy. That’s our Chain Gang Q&A: a series of connected interviews snaking...

The only silver lining to the cloud that hangs over this Sunday for me is that in 2007 I inherited a closet full of clothing that affords me countless opportunities to dress like the awesome art teacher who wrote your college recommendation. In honor of Mother’s Day, here are three...

I have a confession to make. I, Darcy Burke, love romance novels, and not in a cool post modern ironic way. But just to be clear I’m not really writing a romance novel. Unless you are a publisher, in which case a have a few chapters you can look at....

I yelled a lot while watching this episode. Sometimes I was repeating a funny line to make sure my husband heard it (unnecessary but fun, since he’s sitting right next to me and has ears.) Other times it was to warn one of the characters about an impending plot twist...

As the episode opens, Lennon is working hard on a gift for Joe’s dad, Don (the always-charming J.K. Simmons.) He’s retiring and she got him a basketball autographed by Patrick Ewing with (wait for it) a handmade wooden stand! Len is so desperate to win the approval of Joe’s mom,...

This episode literally starts with a bang: Hannah and Adam are having sex and things are getting pretty intense. Well, intense for Adam anyway — he’s fantasizing out loud, something about Hannah being an underage junkie he met on the street? Hannah’s trying hard to play along in an I-really-hope-this-is-good-for-you...

Lena Dunham’s work can be polarizing; you either get it or you don’t. People tend to love it for its honesty and quirk or dismiss it as self-involved, art school fluff. Binary standards aside, I would define myself as a moderately enthusiastic fan. I really enjoyed Tiny Furniture – it had...

FADE IN: A dark and teeny apartment, NYC. I just watched a DVR of Jessica St. Clair’s appearance on Craig Ferguson (two hilarious tastes that…you get the idea.) I’ve already drained my first glass of Grü-V (my nickname for Grüner Veltliner oh God I’m nicknaming wines help.) I’m oiled and...

The sizzle reel for a new web series called Dance School, based on the ridiculous reality series Dance Moms is balls-out hilarious. True, I’m a little biased seeing as I’ve got a small part in the show, but can’t argue the funny factor when you see who else is involved. Enjoy...
