The next she is starring in the role of Mirnda in the new neurotic comedy movie "Our Idiot Brother," released on August 26, with longtime pal and frequent co-star Paul Rudd, Zooey Deschanel, Rashida Jones and Emily Mortimer.
The last but not the least, she is is nominated for Emmy Award for her role as Avery Jessup in the television show "30 Rock" (2010-present) for the category of Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series. In an interview with PARADE, when asked about her contestant Tina Fey for the same category, she said about the nomination, “No, I forgot about that actually. I can't win my category. [My character Avery Jessup] has great lines and she truly is an amazing character so I'm very grateful, but I don't think I can win.”
