Trailer of the Week: Welcome to Me

Kristen Wiig buys herself a talk show in this offbeat comedy from the producers of Step Brothers.

Are your number of Twitter followers just not cutting it? Ever wanted to have millions of people held captive on the edge of their seat, waiting to see what you’ll say or do next? Alice has.

This trailer of the week finds SNL sweetheart Kristen Wiig as Alice Kleiger, a woman with a Borderline Personality Disorder who, in light of her recent success with the lottery, decides to buy herself a talk show. From the producers of Anchorman 2 and Step Brothers, the trailer promises a film with as much crude as it has quirk. And, frankly, who wouldn’t want to watch Kristen Wiig host a talk show?

“Have you ever felt happy, disgusted, excited, and bored at the same time?” Ms. Wiig asks, before taking her shirt off to initiate sex.

If your answer is yes, watch on.
