Stephen Colbert's Other Life

Now that it's been pointed out to me, I remember.

Stephen Colbert, of the popular Colbert Report, used to be on that weird Comedy Central Show, Strangers with Candy.

Now it looks like there will be a movie based on the show Strangers with Candy. The show and movie were co-written by Colbert, Paul Dinello, and Amy Sedaris.  Sedaris plays Jerri Blank, an ex-druggie who goes back to high school at 40. 

Dinello, Colbert, and Sedaris met in 1987 when they all worked together at Second City in Chicago.

By the way, Amy Sedaris is the sister of David Sedaris, a comedy novelist and NPR commentator.
