WHAT A MOM WANTS

If you’ve just checked out the site and haven’t watched the video, please do so!

Much love to Tess Lynch, Rob Delaney, Jill Kushner and Shelby Fero for participating!

(and yo, did you know Zooey scored this? Multitalented, that one.)

Yes, there are plenty of hilarious people in this video as listed above from new site, HelloGiggles, but it’s the first appearance, to my knowledge, of apparent comedy writer prodigy Shelby Fero (she’s 17 and listed by Patton Oswalt on who to follow on Twitter). Pretty amazing stuff all around in this video.
