Simply Irresistible, Pt. 8

Move over, Jack and Karen. There’s a new pair of scene-stealers in town.

As the fashionably bitchy receptionist Amanda and the “curly haired, effete, sycophant” assistant (Wilhelmina Slater’s words, not mine) Marc on TV’s loveable Ugly Betty, Becki Newton and Michael Urie are the cat’s meow.

Sure, Golden Glober winner America Ferrera is the star of the show – and rightfully so – but Newton and Urie are definitely two of its MVPs. Not only do they bring a certain je ne sais quoi to their outlandish parts, they do so while ensuring that Amanda and Marc remain human…and loveable in their own special way.

And that’s rather, well…beautiful.
