Happy Birthday, Mo Collins
About a year ago I blogged about my love for the two funniest women ever, Andrea Martin and Catherine O'Hara. Now there's someone I like almost as much. Lately my TiVo keeps recording reruns of MAD TV, and I honestly think that MO COLLINS is an utter genius. I can't believe this woman isn't immensely famous. Apart from a part on Arrested Development and a tiny role in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, I haven't seen too much of her since she left MAD TV (and the show went rapidly downhill not long after). Someone needs to give Mo a starring role. Well, today's her birthday, so here's my tribute.

My kiddo's name is Stuart -- which has nothing to do with the MAD TV character or, god help me, Family Guy. But I am cursed with an awful Upper Midwest accent (*cough*FrancesMcDormandasMargeGundersoninFargo*cough*), so I do end up sounding a bit like Doreen Larkin when I'm talking to the little fellow.
Mo has a memorable, albeit brief, role in 'Knocked Up," too.
