Hello!  I hope this message finds you well!

I'm gettin' my sweat on here in Los Angeles, but I thought I'd let you know
about some
upcoming appearances!  First of all, I'm so thrilled to say I will be in the 8th
episode of AMC's
new show, MAD MEN.  If you haven't checked this new series out yet, you really
should give it
a go.  New episodes air on AMC, on Thursday nights, and my first appearance will
be
Thursday, September 6th.

As far as live appearances go, you can catch Michael McDonald, Mo Collins, and
myself on
Thursday, September 13th, at the San Jose Improv!  The show starts at 8pm, so if
you're in
the area...be sure to check it out!

Next in news...many of you have asked, and...YES!  I will be returning to MADtv
for its 13th
season!  I can't wait!  New episodes begin in October.  Thanks again for
visiting and I hope to
see you soon!

Hey, Everyone!

I hope this message finds you well and happy!  Things are just dandy here with
me.

Sometimes, folks ask, "What are you up to?" and I thought I would take a second
to answer
that question.

Currently, I am in New Orleans shooting a movie.  Now, I can't tell you much
about it, but I
CAN say, "it's funny."  I can also tell you that I ate alligator for the first
time yesterday.  Not
too bad.  I can also say that it is way hot here, and not once have I heard
anyone say, "I
gurONtee!"

For my second big announcement, I can say that I'm pleased as punch to be
recurring on a
new drama called MAD MEN, on AMC.  It previews tomorrow night, and although I
don't
show up for a few episodes, you may wanna go ahead and hop on board 'cause it's
a really
good show!  Check your local listings for times.

And, finally, I am very happy to say that I will be returning for my 4th season
of MADtv, in
October.  It's MAD's 13th season, and I greatly look forward to it!

Also, I will be appearing at the Nevada City Film Festival, (Aug 16-19), to talk
about Hope
is Emo.

I think that's all of my news!  Take care, and thanks for watching!

Best,
Crista Flanagan

Hey Everybody,

I thought I'd give you a heads up on a few things:

First of all, I'm happy to report that I will be returning to MADtv for its 12th
Season.  We
head back to work in August and I can't wait.

Also, if you haven't done so already, please check out Hope Is Emo.  It's a new
video
podcast, brought to you by the guys from Ask A Ninja and myself.  Just go to
hopeisemo.com, or you can subscribe to it for free through itunes.  There are
currently
two episodes, but more are on their way.

This July, I will be shooting a supporting role in a New Regency film called Bob
Bailey.  Bob
Bailey is the new movie from the folks who did Date Movie and the Scary Movies.

One more thing, I know that my website sucks.  I'll have a new one very shortly.

I think that's it.  Oh...I went to the dentist 3 days this week.  My mouth
hurts.

Okay, now that's really it.

Cheers!
Crista

Hi there, Friends!

Thanks so much for your interest in keeping updated on my whereabouts.  Here are
several updates for ya:

-  MAD TV:  Although we've finished taping MADtv for Season 11, there are many
more
new episodes to come!  Be sure to check out our fresh episodes on Saturday
nights on
FOX:  March 18, April 8, April 15, April 29, May 6, May 13 and May 20.  I have
to say,
taping season 11 has been such a great time!  Thanks for tuning in!

- E! SEXIEST SPECIAL:  Alright, don't get too excited...I'm not one of the
sexiest celebrities
of the year...but I'm hoping it's only a matter of time.  In the meantime, you
can catch me
on E! TELEVISION'S SEXIEST SPECIAL, pitching in my two cents about sexy or
not-so-sexy
stars.  12 Episodes of this special will air internationally in March and
domestically in April.
Check your local listings for dates and times.

- CHICAGO IMPROV FESTIVAL:  This year's Chicago Improv Festival will be held
April
24-30, and will feature many MADtv actors and writers.  This is a really fun
time and the
main event happens on the evening of Saturday, April 29th.

- COMEDY COCKTAIL AT THE HIGHLANDS IN HOLLYWOOD:  I will be performing in a
sketch show called Comedy Cocktail at The Highlands in Hollywood on Friday,
April 7th, at
8:30pm.  This show is a blast!  Just go to www.ComedyCocktail.com for
information and
tickets.  I think that my friend, Luann, may be in town that night.

-SELF-MANAGEMENT FOR ACTORS:  The revised second edition of Bonnie Gillespie's
book,
"Self-Management for Actors" has just hit bookstores!  This is a terrific book
for aspiring
actors, (and not just because I'm a contributing writer).  But go ahead, check
out my little
article on a typical day of auditioning.  Yikes.

For now, that's it.  Stay tuned and again, thank you so much for your support. 
It means
everything.

Crista

Happy Holidays, Everyone!

I just wanted to drop a quick line about this Saturday's Christmas show on
MADtv.  The Crafty
Gals sell their wares at a rodeo, Stuart visits Santa, and you may even get to
purchase a
dandy holiday sweatshirt!  Good times!

Saturday, December 17th, on FOX

After that, new episodes will start again on January 7th.


Talk to you soon,
Crista

Hello Everyone!

Crista here.  This Saturday, September 24th, is FOX's MADtv's 2nd episode for
Season 11!
Be sure to tune in.  One of my favorite sketches will air...Krumpin'.

Then, on Sunday, the 25th, you can catch me on the season premiere of Curb Your
Enthusiasm.  I'm in the very last shot of the show, and I haven't seen it yet,
but Curb is
always a good time.  Also, Tami Sagher, one of the writers from MADtv, is in the
same
Curb episode...it's a party!

I have a live show coming up in Los Angeles on October 9th.  Details will follow
shortly.

Thank you all for watching!

Love,
Crista
