Molly Shannon Joins 'Up All Night' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 10-25-2011, 02:43 PM

NBC's Up All Night is upping the funny with the addition of another Saturday Night Live veteran. Molly Shannon, an SNL cast member from 1995-2001, whose 2008 sitcom Kath & Kim failed to click with viewers, is coming to the freshman sitcom on November 23.

In a role that is potentially recurring, Molly will play Nancy, a single mother who works on Ava's (Maya Rudolph) talk show as an incompetent associate producer.

Though only one episode has been written for Molly so far, sources tell me the hope is that Molly will ignite the same laughs she did on SNL as clumsy Catholic schoolgirl Mary Katherine Gallagher and return for more fun with Maya, Christina Applegate and Will Arnett.

Keck's Exclusives: Molly Shannon Returning to "Up All Night"
Dec 6, 2011
by William Keck

Molly Shannon's guest appearance on NBC's "Up All Night" is now officially a recurring role. I've just learned that Molly has been invited to reprise her single-mom character, Nancy, early next year.

The new storyline will find Nancy, an incompetent associate producer on Ava's talk show, jumping back into the dating pool. And who does she ask to be her wingman? None other than a very reluctant Chris (Will Arnett).

Molly debuted her Nancy character on Up "All Night's" November 23 episode.

This will probably be the kiss of death for the show.
