Thanks to their carefully photographed and meticulously curated content, platforms like Instagram and Pinterest can leave eager DIYers, amateur interior designers, and crafty creators feeling bereft, but 'At Home with Amy Sedaris' is a homemaking series that will leave viewers with a different takeaway. Rather than showing off the perfect crafts, the TruTV show satirizes the DIY and homemaking genre as a whole, basking in the real world hilarity of attempting to get crafty and inevitably failing.
At Home with Amy Sedaris is hosted by Sedaris herself and will feature guest stars that include Jane Krakowski ('30 Rock,' 'The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt'), Stephen Colbert, and Paul Giamatti. In the show, Sedaris gives the audience homemaking tips, sometimes in instructional format and sometimes in the form of a song. There are 10 episodes in the series, which will premier on October 24th.
