she's responsible for the aggressive punning in The Good Place
I laugh randomly about "We Ciabatta Zoo" roughly once a week.

Chicken Soup For The Mouth still makes me stop whatever I’m doing and sit down for a minute.

Well thanks to the first episode I found out Shannon Woodward is in Season 2 of Westworld somehow, so now I'm looking forward to that.

Those puns made me nearly wake up the family when watching TGP in the dark with headphones on while my children sleep. God bless you, Megan Amram, for sharing that nutty gift with us.

yesterday was week 269 (nice) of her #tbt on instagram and Guinness is still not giving her the record for longest running tbt. so unfair.

Last ep was good and that singing was a knockout, but otherwise... her twitter is so much funnier.
It really makes me feel awful, that all these talented people are killing themselves producing, writing, acting so I can see it for free on my 8th browser tab and go meh.

Won't you feel really awful when she wins and we all realize that no one cares about short form webseries anymore.

Amram’s introduction to Bob Odenkirk’s ho-hum book had me in tears at the library. She’s the best.

She should win an award just for her Twitter profile pic. It fills my heart with (I'm not sure what) every time I see it.

The series as a whole wins an Emmy, and in a rare move is given an anti-Emmy for acting. So everyone involved in production gets an Emmy, except for Megan.

I enjoyed this.

Not sure if you know, but Woodward was in Season 1 as well!

Yes I know but for spoilery reasons I didn't know if she'd be in season 2.

I don’t think they should change the rules because the rules were one of the things that really inspired me in the first place. It’s clear that the rules are very motivating to people and I think the Emmys got them just right.

Amram sat down with The Hollywood Reporter to discuss her nascent acting career, her relationship with Good Place star D'Arcy Carden, and why hating her series should in no way preclude anyone from voting for it.
