"Seminar" at the Museum of Television and Radio in New York Strangers with Candy Monday, April 2, 2001 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. Strangers with Candy, the brainchild of Second City veterans Amy Sedaris, Stephen Colbert, and Paul Dinello, did more than spoof the genre of hyper-moralistic afterschool specials--it carved out its own brand of irreverent television while pushing the limits of social conventions and, occasionally, good taste. Starring Sedaris as forty-six-year-old Jerri Blank, a former "user, boozer, and loser" who returns to Flatpoint High to turn over a new leaf, Strangers broke new ground in satire for three seasons on Comedy Central. The creators and cast members will reunite to discuss the show and take audience questions. In Person: Kent Alterman, Executive Producer Stephen Colbert, Creator/Writer/"Mr. Noblet" Paul Dinello, Creator/Writer/"Mr. Jellineck" Amy Sedaris, Creator/Writer/"Jerri Blank" |
