At Home with Amy Sedaris is a bizarre little thing airing Tuesdays at 10:30 PM on TruTV (yes, they air things other than Impractical Jokers and assorted reality TV nonsense!) starring That Lady You Probably Remember From Strangers With Candy. Ostensibly, it's a boilerplate happy homemaker/crafting/cooking show. Weirdly enough, a lot of the segments actually do start from a decent idea, or actually show a thing you might consider doing.
But like its predecessor, Jon Glaser Loves Gear (which I *highly* recommend also), it takes what could be just a good natured genre ribbing and uses it as an excuse to wander into some really dark places. So far, it's touched on overly gory workplace accident films, passive-aggressive relationship troubles of two ladies who live in the woods, and potato boats!
This is definitely worth a watch if you're a fan of Amy Sedaris or of weird, tangential, semi-improvisational shows like the Comedy Bang Bang TV show. It's strange how it feels like Amy Sedaris is taking a genuine passion for crafty stuff and twisting it through any random comedy she can find. It's funny and learning-adjacent!
