    Amy will be appearing at the Weinberg Center for the Arts in Frederick, Maryland* on Friday, November 7th, 8:00 PM.

    Ed. note: I kinda sorta pestered the Weinberg to book her, so I’d love to see this sell out or at least come close. Even if you don’t live in the area, if you know someone who does, who you think might be interested in this, please let them know!

Nickelodeon has already started running TV previews for it, which you can watch here (or on YouTube if you can’t get the video to work on Nick’s site). Watch for Amy as the principal who hits on Christopher Meloni–and his fitted shorts.

    Amy in ‘Full Grown Men’

    June 16th, 2008

    Amy has a cameo in a new movie, Full Grown Men , which opens in New York on June 25th and in limited release in July. You can watch outtakes from Amy’s scene here (if you’re at work, you might want to put your headphones on, or, um, just wait until you get home….).

    The film is also expected to be shown on the Sundance Channel and released on DVD this fall.

    Amy’s deleted scene from Semi-Pro on DVD

    June 3rd, 2008

    Amy’s cameo as a foul-mouthed sports fan in the Will Ferrel movie Semi-Pro didn’t make the final cut, but it’s included on the 2-disc unrated DVD set. And while her deleted scene is good, the real gem here is another special feature, which shows clips of her improv outtakes–take after take of Amy screaming obscenities. (Think Piglet with Jerri Blank’s voice…)
