This one’s a huge endorsement – Bill Florio of the LLC has weighed in! Bill knows the show inside and out – not only has he been a part of it since the very first stage show, each episode literally starts with Bill yelling a sentence fragment that serves as the thesis for the whole thing. On top of that, there is a whole class of show known as “Bill Shows” – meaning, when things get dark, violent, or fucked up I go up to Bill afterwards and say “That one was a real Bill show.” If Bill says he liked the show, I know we nailed it! This guy gets this show – he’s been at the core of things since it’s very formation. His endorsement is no joke, people. In his own words:
“I endorse Random Melissa. I find being a child of divorce related to cult-bankruptcy fascinating by itself. Hearing the implication that despite the broken home she was still forced to take violin lessons, makes me think she will have enough drive to one show up every week and to add to the general pot of sadness. I admire that she spent most of her time explaining that she failed at coming up with something to do. While some of the other contenders seemed more capable of being really awkward, fawning over Chris, rooting for people to get kicked in the balls, telling their sad stories in silly hats, my instinct tells me that the depths of Melissa’s wackiness will expose itself week to week like that segment in the special features section of the Supersize Me DVD where they leave food under a glass jar and see how it spoils only to find that McDonalds fries look the same after months of exposure as they do fresh out of the fryer.”
