Sara Schaefer does a really funny, sweet talk show at Juvie Hall ^[1] called Sara Schaefer Is Obsessed with You ^[2]: it lightly spoofs officeland and latenighttalkshowland in equal measure, moving from guest to sketch and back with warm, easy grace. It features celebrity and musical guests and, without fail, an actor who’s been on Law & Order. Today, Gothamist ^[3] ran an interview with Sara.

As far as guests go, I don’t know how it works. I guess [real TV talk shows] have this list of people who want to promote their movies and such, and you pick from that? I’d rather get people that I personally am obsessed with. Like practically everyone on the Food Network, except that lady Ina who does Barefoot Contessa. She really pisses me off. I’d also love to have Tori Amos as a guest. I am really obsessed with her, and she’s a complete nut, so I think it’d make for great entertainment. I’d be sobbing uncontrollably while she burns sage and ritualistically dry-humps the goddess of my desk.

The next SSIOWY is on January 14th. Enjoy the interview ^[4].
