What’s the best way to improve a situation you hate? Just add a cute animal. Case in point: when the phone just won’t stop ringing, this kitty goes and answers it. Talk about talent. Cats may not be great with printers, but it seems like their phone-answering skills are a bit more on track.
Remember when Conan hired a zombie to be his personal assistant on The Tonight Show? Well, he’s keeping the bit going – and mocking Twilight in the process, which is always fun. Enter the brooding vampire, the hot werewolf, and … the sexy mummy?
Things I love: Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and interns. In other words, this video has everything I like all in one place.

If I weren’t already dorkily excited about seeing the Ryan Reynolds/Sandra Bullock romantic comedy The Proposal (he plays an assistant who has to marry his boss – Bullock – so she can legally stay in the country), then this video from Funny or Die would basically seal the deal. It has Betty White in it, and she thinks Ryan is her assistant. Really, what else do I need to say?
I first “met” Renee Gauthier when she was Victoria Beckham’s assistant – their cute, agreeable relationship was part of the reason Posh’s Coming to America special was so funny. (Like this scene where they tried to bake a pie together.) Now, Renee has left the celebrity assistant life behind her and is working as a comedienne, and in this segment she talks about what it was like getting to meet celebrities like Eva Longoria and Kelly Clarkson when she was a PA. Enjoy:
As The Office’s US version continues to succeed commercially and with critics, there are more reports of a potential spinoff. Today the very funny and cool Amy Poehler (who just scored a Supporting Actress nomination for her many roles on Saturday Night Live and who is married to the equally funny and cool Will “GOB” Arnett) has been confirmed to star on the show. Comedian Aziz Ansari is the only other actor who has definitely been cast so far, and there’s no definite plot/location/character list for the show. Since both Saturday Night Live and The Office are NBC properties, it makes sense for the network to work with someone they already have a relationship with–after all, Amy’s former SNL cohost (and Baby Mama costar) Tina Fey writes and stars in NBC’s 30 Rock, a project which has worked out really well so far. That said, I’ll miss Amy’s great delivery on Weekend Update, but no matter where she ends up she’ll be funny. And imagine if she played an assistant! We’d be honored to count Amy as one of our own.
