I like the show Party Down, which is on the Starz network, which may be evidenced by that fact that to date 50% of the posts on this blog are about the show, and even further, by the fact that the show has its own category on this blog.
Anyways, if you haven’t had a chance to watch Party Down and you have Starz, then you really should get your act in gear. But, be warned, the show is done in a smart, witty and very dry, slightly dark comedic style. If you like Flight of the Conchords, yes. If you’re more of a Kevin James fan, no. Nothing against Kevin James, since the dude is hilarious and can do an epic fat guy pratfall, but still you know what I mean.
Oh yeah, this post was supposed to be about Kristin Bell and her work on Party Down. I just finished watching season one, in which she has a recurring role, and she’s hilarious. She has great timing, she can deliver a line and add a lot to it, and she’s just really fun to watch.
You probably know this already if you’ve seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but I think Party Down proves that Kristin Bell is one of the top female comedy actresses out there today. She’s got talent.
Go check out Party Down. And don’t work too hard tomorrow, wherever you may find yourself working.
In this first clip watch as “Uda,” her character in the show, relishes saying “Let’s work.”
