Television Writer (Parks and Recreation, The Good Place), Guinness Book of World Records Contender* and national treasure Megan Amram is attempting to earn 1/4 of an EGOT with her web series, An Emmy For Megan. (Amram previously on Metafilter.)

*Not really, but Amram has one of the longest running gags on Twitter

Ooh, I didn't know about this! I love her twitter account, both for jokes and bonus show content. Apparently she's responsible for the aggressive punning in The Good Place. If I had to limit myself to ten accounts to follow, 1) I would probably be a lot happier and 2) she would easily make the cut.

I laugh randomly about "We Ciabatta Zoo" roughly once a week.

Chicken Soup For The Mouth still makes me stop whatever I’m doing and sit down for a minute.

Today was the day that Megan Anram finally became President.

Well thanks to the first episode I found out Shannon Woodward is in Season 2 of Westworld somehow, so now I'm looking forward to that.

Those puns made me nearly wake up the family when watching TGP in the dark with headphones on while my children sleep. God bless you, Megan Amram, for sharing that nutty gift with us.

yesterday was week 269 (nice) of her #tbt on instagram and Guinness is still not giving her the record for longest running tbt. so unfair.

Last ep was good and that singing was a knockout, but otherwise... her twitter is so much funnier.

It really makes me feel awful, that all these talented people are killing themselves producing, writing, acting so I can see it for free on my 8th browser tab and go meh.

Won't you feel really awful when she wins and we all realize that no one cares about short form webseries anymore.

Amram’s introduction to Bob Odenkirk’s ho-hum book had me in tears at the library. She’s the best.

She should win an award just for her Twitter profile pic. It fills my heart with (I'm not sure what) every time I see it.

Ooh, I knew for sure that D'arcy had a dark side to her

The series as a whole wins an Emmy, and in a rare move is given an anti-Emmy for acting. So everyone involved in production gets an Emmy, except for Megan.

I enjoyed this.

Well thanks to the first episode I found out Shannon Woodward is in Season 2 of Westworld somehow, so now I'm looking forward to that.

Not sure if you know, but Woodward was in Season 1 as well!

Yes I know but for spoilery reasons I didn't know if she'd be in season 2.
