Last we checked in with our collective muse, Alison Brie, she was advertising platonic foot massages only to have Joel McHale issue restraining orders against the whole lot of us. It was all pretty much my high school experience in a microcosm.
When she stopped by Late Night last night there were unfortunately no hints dropped about our futures together, but she did grace us with some freestyling — as she is wont to do — in between telling stories about NFL neighbors, super rad ’80s parties, and going head first into the hip hop game thanks to one fateful night with Questlove and a coffee table.
And oh yeah, Artie Lange was there for some reason, sporadically and playfully hijacking the interview in between acting mildly unimpressed (Joe Buck called, he wants his money back). Let’s kick things off in reverse order, with Ali B treating us to some super solid flow around the 1:25 mark.
It’s really too bad the UPROXX comments section didn’t make up that audience. There would have been a Richter Scale registering standing O as Alison waded her way through undergarments. Ah, what could have been.
Not to ruin this second-but-actually-first part of the interview but you’ll learn about athletic neighbors who DVR The Office, hear Alison explain how her cover band works, and discover that Artie Lange knows what’s REALLY up with ’80s-themed parties. Enjoy, because how could you not?
Equal parts fun and awkward, which pretty much always translates to good late night television. And if you’ve never heard The Girls cover “Rich Girl,” there’s no time like the present.



I normally cringe when white girls decide to rap, but I’ll be damned if I didn’t love that.
Also, I didn’t think it was possible for her to be any hotter, but sitting next to Artie Lange seemed to do that.
There are actual white female rappers with a lot of talent (check Dessa from the Doomtree collective), not just talentless youtube hacks and talentless hollywood hacks (also known as Gwyneth Paltrow).
And yeah Alison isn’t bad herself at it, still a better flow than Lil’ B at least.
I should clarify that I meant “white girls who aren’t actually rappers”, or “white actresses” more specifically.
And yes, Dessa is awesome and I am basically in love with her.
Well there’s also terrible actual white rapper girls to be honest. Lookin’ at you Kreayshawn and V Nasty.
I agree, non-rap culture people doing anything close to that is usually sickening (old white people ironically using “for shizzle” still makes my skin crawl).
However, I feel like Alison here has the charisma and charm to pull it off. Or I just have a real boner for her. Take your pick.
I love Hall & Oates unironically, but I love her band’s cover even more.
Does anybody else like to play the game, “Guess which WG writer wrote this post?” I do really well until Maske and Cajun Boy get thrown into the mix.
I do and I have the same problem
Artie Lange just looks creepy, like child rapist creepy.
He also looks like he shits his pants on the regular.
Artie Lange agrees with you both, which is why he stabbed himself in the chest a few dozen times a few years back.
Sorry, but the restraining over finally tipped the scales for me.
Gillian With Glasses (also she’s a brunette again!) > Rapping Alison.
Aside from being completely unable to freestyle… she can actually flow.
I thought Artie would talk the entire time, but he kept his mouth shut half the time and chimed in with some of the funniest lines on the night.
Completely agreed. His line about her neighbors thinking she was in The Beatles was witty as hell.
Gotta admire a girl who just goes for it.
And I blacked out when I saw her legs and had to rewind to hear the rap.
I wonder what she’s going to do on the Daily Show tonight. I also wonder if she’s taller than Jon.
Oo! Awesome, looking forward to that.
That was painful. I admire her courage, but that was painful.
Yep, getting better and better! But she’ll never have the necessary street cred to make it in the game.
I think Artie completely terrifies her. She pushed herself all the way against the arm of the chair until she couldn’t get any farther away.
Shame on NBC.com for cutting out her entrance.
Walking Alison > Sitting Alison
Thats saying a lot. Because sitting Alison is pretty fucking awesome, too.
To be fair, Alison Brie could fart the alphabet and we’d all clap like seals. Horny, horny, seals.
I see nipple..
” Come on Tittayyyy “… ” Allie got some big ass tittayyss ”

she just gets hotter by the day. it doesn’t make sense.
and imagine the torture of being jimmy fallon when she’s casually touching him during conversation. i’d be through the desk..
I’d like to cum on her face and send her away
Wait, didn’t Artie Lange die? Who am I thinking of?
Technically he did die. EMT’s are amazing people.
