Chelsea peretti

Todd Glass’ episode today unlocked the memory of this video and now it’s stuck in my head again.
B-b-b-bonus: you can see Chelsea Peretti and Scott Saucyman dance in the back at the end.

... And man, she's hilarious! I haven't seen her much outside of B99 but damn it was one of the best podcasts I've heard in a long time, couldn't stop smiling and laughing through nearly the whole thing besides the few serious things they talked about (it was in the middle of Covid).
So obviously we should never compare an actress with their fictional character, but this episode made me wish the creators and producers would've allowed Chelsea to be a little more of herself while playing Gina, just like I have the feeling Andy did. I think it would've made her character much more likeable.
Give it a listen if you are bored!

I recently saw Blazer on the Chelsea Peretti one so wanted to see where else they might have been that's actually been good...

Gina isn’t necessarily my favorite character, but I still really like her a lot and feel like she definitely gets a really bad rep. I’m rewatching the show for like the 30th time lol and I really enjoy quoting the show along with the characters as they say it, and I’m noticing that most of those quotable moments I enjoy are Gina lines and it made me really start to appreciate it her character more. I think my favorite Gina moment is during the arc where they work with Holt’s old buddy Bob from the FBI, it’s revealed that he’s dirty when he tries to kill Holt in the hospital, but they manage to capture him. The hospital ends up going on lock down, and to get a captured Bob out they have Gina pretend she’s a mental patient suffering from grandiose delusional disorder lol she acts like she’s Serena Williams and desperately needs to go to Wimbledon and it makes Bob’s claims of being a captured FBI agent seem just as crazy 😂 it’s just such a genius play and Chelsea Peretti’s acting is so crazy and hilarious, I just love it lol

The Elevator pitch-
So one night I am lying on the couch perusing shows trying to pass time when I see storyteller Greek myths(I was raised on classical Grecian mythology) and decide arbitrarilyto watch "Orpheus and Eurydice" later that night while looking for inspiration for a game of hunter the vigil I see Orpheus-instantly I'm hooked- I start thinking of the frighteners,flatlines,stir of echoes,R.I.P.D, 13 ghosts,ghost and Jacobs ladder. I had been watching alot of "BLUE SKIES ERA" USA network shows like Monk,psych and Burn Notice. I hatch the idea for this show-I know, I know Orpheus is originally intended to be a limited run wod game played like a film, with the original corebook being the first twenty minute hook-but I get the idea for my own blue skies era USA show meets something from showtime that's dark like "Barry" or "Dexter"

When Vince does speak candidly it is often needlessly curt or paranoid delusion that he spouts off while starring off in the distance.

You can tell she (Chelsea Peretti) loves being a part of the show. You can see in her smile how much she thinks things are funny in scenes, and she brings the best out of other characters by being the villain sometimes. Yeah, the flirting with terry is unnecessary, but her scenes with Jake and just her smile and even winning a heist in the way she did, and how she’s brutally honest really does make the show great. The show wouldn’t be the same without her

Out of curiosity, who else still sees Chelsea Peretti on screen or hears an interview then to yourself you hear "Chelsea 'Chazz Palminteri' Peretti" in your head? (this came from somebody bringing Reese's Pieces into the room)
Also, she's the shit.
Creak. Slam. Sit.
