Rebel Wilson dolphin rapes Andy Richter |

Rebel Wilson was on her boss’ show Conan yesterday and she told the TBS late night host how she is being censored on their ABC show Super Fun Night.
She told Conan O’Brien that the censors have an issue with her referencing dolphin rape, and he didn’t know what she meant. So she demonstrated it on Andy Richter and the sidekick will never be the same. Then the Pitch Perfect star said another thing they didn’t like, is a scene she shot in a bathing suit. What is so bad about that since we have seen her in Spanx? Well she added an old man’s beard to the bottom part, and as funny as it looked the ABC lawyers weren’t laughing and Conan sided with them. I am kind of bummed we won’t be seeing it because it actually sounds like it would be hysterical.
Now you might be wondering why I am saying Conan O’Brien is her boss? Well it is because of him she has this sitcom. Over the summer at the TCA ABC Summer Press Tour Day, the host explained how he got involved with the Rebel and her show. He said, “It happened very organically for me. Rebel was on the show as a guest, and as a lot of you know, I’ve been doing this is now for 20 years, and with three guests a night, do the math because I can’t.” Then when the laughter died down, he added, “And very occasionally, very rarely, but occasionally, someone’s on the show who I haven’t met before, and it’s a revelation. And Rebel was on the show, and she was hilarious, and when the show was over, I stood up and I walked over to the executive producer Jeff Ross and just said, ‘I want her back tomorrow and the next day and the next day. She’s absolutely fantastic.'”
So he did his research on her and watched a show she did called Bogan Pride. When he finished it, he knew she was meant to be a TV star because she is “vulnerable, fearless” and one of the most likable actresses he has met in his two decades of doing this job nightly. So he had a meeting with her, and told her to come up with something. Then she returned with the idea for Super Fun Night and the rest is TV history.
Now that is boring part; here is their interaction during the panel, that shows what he saw in her. Rebel chimed in while he was explaining how the show came about, “And then you offered to put out if I went with your production.” To which he responded, “Yes. Yes, I did, and then I couldn’t perform.” So she defended him by adding, “Then I said I wasn’t into gingers anyway.” And that is when he knew he hit Aussie Gold, “Exactly. And then I realized she hates me as much as other women in my life hate me, and this could really work.” And work it did because together they have the #1 new comedy on Wednesday nights. So watch it tonight at 9:30p on ABC.

Is Rebel Wilson saying she is a ‘Female Ho’? |

Rebel Wilson Tweeted the above picture and captioned it with “Female Ho!” So is that her way of telling us how she landed her sitcom Super Fun Night (gives new meaning to that title then) over at ABC? Or maybe she’s just filming the Christmas episode 2 months and 11 days early and that was her way of making a funny. I am thinking the latter, but I wish were the first.

Before Rebel Wilson was Fat Amy in Pitch Perfect, she was dating a guy who worked for Fat Pizza. How cute was the 17 year old in that 2003 episode?

ABC needs to be Spanx’d for Super Fun Night |
| October 2nd, 2013 under Rebel WIlson. [ Comments: none ]

First off I want to say that I really wanted to love Super Fun Night, I really did, but I hated the show that debuts at 9:30p on ABC. I even hated it more than I despised Whitney. I can’t believe I am saying that there is a show out there that I think is worse than Whitney, but I am.
Rebel Wilson is good as the bit part actress who steals a few scenes and she’s great on talk shows (which how we got stuck with this dud), but she sucks as a lead. She actually created a character that is very unlikable. I mean you should want to root for her, but you are not.
See Kimmy (Wilson) was a loser in high school and now she is grown up trying to be like one of the popular people at her job and when she hangs out with her three HS buddies. She works at a professional business and yet she acts like a dumb kid. I mean I am not even her boss and I would fire her a$$. I acted immaturely at work, but I never worked at place that called for me to be mature like her job. And that is just one of the many issues I have with the show.
See you guys are lucky that you not going to see the pilot. It was so bad and so hated (I am assuming from my lack of love for it), that ABC pulled it and decided to debut the show with the second episode. Well in these two episodes we have seen her in her Spanx, not once, not twice, but three times. It is not funny and I don’t want to see it. It is not a pretty site. I am not saying this because she is not skinny, I am saying it because Spanx without clothes over them look ugly. Seriously tonight’s show beings and ends with her in her Spanx. Why?
Rebel is also known for singing thanks to Pitch Perfect, a movie I quite enjoyed. Well tonight I found out as she sings Meat Loaf’s I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That) that she can’t sing. I actually shed a tear when she belts out the tune. One of the actresses turns her performance into a duet and that is the only thing that sort of saved the song for me. Meat if you are thinking of watching, please don’t. Take the money and run like a Bat Out of Hell with it.
Now when it comes to her friends on the show, Marika (Lauren Ash) and Helen-Alice (Liza Lapira) they are just as unlikable as Wilson and I liked Lapira on Don’t Trust the B—- in Apt 23. I mean the point of the show is here are three high school friends who were losers in high school and now is there chance to leave that all behind, but they don’t. Because of that, you just don’t like them and that makes it hard to like the show.
And don’t get me started on her boss (Richard Royce), he is the characterure of the blue collar worker who lands a top job because his daddy owns the company. He takes a liking to Kimmy because he is the black sheep of the family and she is everything his father would hate. We saw his type in so many movies in the ’80s and his character is just as unlikable now as he was then.
Finally there is the bitch (Kate Jenkinson) and she is the only I like on the show. That give you a hint how bad it is?
Like I said at the beginning, I wanted to like this show because I liked (yeah now I don’t any more because of this show) Rebel, I like the producer Conan O’Brien and I like sitcoms. But it is so bad that I hope it doesn’t hurt the trend of sitcoms having a much needed comeback.
My prediction this show will be gone by next Thursday because it will bomb after Modern Family and hurt the declining Nashville. What I hope is that ABC is wise enough to replace this show with The Goldbergs that is a perfect fit for that timeslot. The Goldbergs is the perfect family show and my prediction is that it will wind up being ABC’s biggest new show at the end of the season domestically. I think Agents of SHIELD will do huge internationally and The Goldbergs will great here.

Is Super Fun Night in super trouble? |

When Paul Lee, president of ABC Entertainment Group, announced that he was doing a sitcom with Rebel Wilson, his excitement for it got us all excited. Then we watched the pilot and our excitement waned. I guess those of us who saw it weren’t the only ones who were disappointed with it because less than 2 weeks before the series premiere, the network has opted to air the second episode instead of the pilot. Most of the time when this happens, the show is in trouble. And who knows, maybe episode 2 is a whole lot better and will sway us towards liking the show. But after reading this description for it, “Kimmie wants the gang to broaden their horizons and try something they’ve never done before. But she’s not so brave when she finds out their next super fun night destination is a piano bar. Can she face her biggest fear, singing in public?”, I don’t think that will be the case.
I am still hoping that show has gotten better as they started to film more episodes because I like Wilson and Conan O’Brien, but the pilot was such a let down that I am not sure I even want to watch the second episode. Although I kind of like the second episode of Dads and I hated that pilot the first go around. So maybe there is a glimmer of hope for the show?
