"The Reductress Hour" tackles the tropes of entertainment news and daytime television marketed to women, with the unmistakable satirical bite of the Reductress website.
This half-hour live audience comedy show is hosted by Annie Elliott, an in-character "Colbert Report"-style figured played by Abby Elliott. Despite being a misguided and naive character, Annie is always well meaning and never malicious. Annie embodies the voice of women's infotainment to an absurd degree, using the same feel-good language, self-help and female empowerment that preys on women's insecurities to sell them things. Through monologue jokes, in-character correspondents, field segments, sketches and real celebrity guests, "The Reductress Hour" will skewer the underlying issues in the media and women's lives. Don't miss this exciting new Comedy Central show.
