I happened to catch Amy Sedaris' appearance on Letterman Friday night (promoting the movie version of Strangers With Candy), and it was the funniest appearance of any guest on any late night show I've ever seen. The best part was when Amy was talking about Richard Gere, and she did this really quick, blink-and-you'll-miss-it obscene gesture that involved, uh, looking like she was sucking on a lollipop and then, um, suddenly biting the lollipop. Or something. Anyway, I DVR'd it and I've shown it to everyone who's come over since.
* Here's a clip (3rd from top) Sadly, it doesn't include the obscene gesture, the story about the murder of Amy's imaginary boyfriend, or Amy's idea for a lesbian bar called "Lickety Splits," but it's still good.

Here's a series of screenshots from the appearance (Including the Richard Gere moment)
* Here is audio of pretty much the entire appearance (Scroll to January 14, 2005)
If I find video of the whole thing, I'll post it here. In other comedy news, Stella has just launched a message board.
