AT HOME WITH AMY SEDARIS Adds Justin Theroux, Rose Byrne, Wild Turkeys, and More  Image

Entertainment Tonight reports that wild turkeys are roaming the set of the Thanksgiving-themed episode of the subversive and strange "At Home with Amy Sedaris."

"At Home," technically a sketch show, expertly skewers the likes of Martha Stewart Living and public access TV while also showcasing the star's expertise for DIY and entertaining. "It's something I have a lot of experience with, which made me think that when it came time for the show, at least I do know what I'm talking about," Sedaris said. On top of her craftiness on air, she is the author of I Like You: Hospitality UNDER THE INFLUENCE and Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People. "I might not execute it properly, but I do feel like I have the right to do the show because I have the experience."

The first season featured handy segments for making Popsicle stick buddies with human hair and lessons on gutting a fish in between scripted gags about dinner parties gone awry or poorly executed talk show interviews.

The second season of "At Home" will have episodes about entertaining teenagers, hosting game nights, and the upcoming November holiday, in which Sedaris intends to host a thanks-filled evening. Instead, she and her guests -- Chassie Tucker (Difficult People's Cole Escola, who also writes for the show), Tony the Knife Man (Veep's David Pasquesi) and Winifred (Jackie Hoffman) -- are attacked by an angry mob of turkeys.

Season two adds Rose Byrne, Matthew Broderick, Justin Theroux (returning in a very different role from his astro-themed character in season one), Susan Sarandon, Gillian Jacobs, Juliette Lewis, Ellie Kemper, Fred Armisen, Martha Plimpton, Jessica Walter, Billy Crudup, Bridget Everett, Julie Klausner, Janeane Garofalo, Ana Gasteyer, John Early, Broadway's James Monroe Iglehart and many more.
