    I ADORE Iliza, and despite never having met her, or knowing her personally, I feel so excited her her and her husband with their child. Her brand of humor has always made me double over with laughter due to her very apt observations on how women relate and talk to one another. Her last Netflix special on her wedding and prep work that brides go to extreme lengths to perform were hilarious (that whole sketch on bachelorette parties as told from a hospitality/restauranteur perspective was bang on). She's someone that I wish I could have as a friend, and I couldn't be happier for her. Also, Ru is a fun host - this was a fun interview to watch.

    I’m glad Iliza Schlesinger’s having a child. Tremendously quick-witted & funny! Just gifted-& not affected. Can’t recall that dating reality TV gig she had, but that was so hilariously sad & brilliant thanks to the wisecracks. [Then a taxi quiz show came on right after, that was also very smart. So naturally, they both had to go in favor of Dumbness>>American Style.]

      first video I've seen of hers that didnt have a really high dislike count. I've never disliked any video she's been on, but I know her gender-based comedy rubs a lot men the wrong way, and seen as subtly combative. Hopefully, with the birth of a child she can branch out to something less troublesome

Asking someone to decide from all the possibilities of foods they can choose from right now seems really ridiculous.

I wish MTV would give her a show reviewing video clips like Rob does. Right now they keep trying to remake ridiculousness by calling it different things (like Deliciousness) and using D list celebs to host it. If they had her hosting it with a couple of her comedian friends as cohosts I think the show would be a big hit. 😁👍
