You may know Kristen Schaal from her role on Flight of the Conchords, her stint as a Daily Show contributor, or her recurring appearances on 30 Rock, Bob's Burgers and Gravity Falls. She's also an esteemed stand-up comedian and a writer, having published The Sexy Book of Sexy Sex, a book she co-wrote with husband Rich Blomquist (a Daily Show writer), back in 2010. It turns out she's something of a musichead, too—while in town for Wits recently, Schaal stopped by The Current studio to chat with the Morning Show and take over airwaves to play a handful of her favorite songs. Enjoy!
