GARFUNKEL AND OATES: THE HALF HOUR
June 8, 2012  | By David Bianculli  | 1 comment

Comedy Central, 11:30 p.m. ET

 

The brilliant Flight of the Conchords re-established the viability of the musical comedy duo as an entertaining standup form – and now, there’s a female due making its own claim, and borrowing their names from classic male musical teammates. Garfunkel and Oates, in reality, is, or are, Riki Lindhome (guitar) and Kate Minucci (ukelele). Minucci should be familiar from recurring roles on Raising Hope, where she sings a lot, and Bored to Death, where she doesn’t. They sing funny songs from a female point of  view, including such unexpected takes as “Pregnant Women are Smug.”

Kate Minucci also had a recurring role on Scrubs, also with her ever present ukelele. Her 'in the moment' songs always make me smile.
