Easy to Assemble(2008)

Easy to Assemble is a comedy web series created by and starring Illeana Douglas. Playing a fictionalized version of herself, Douglas attempts to leave acting behind for a "real job" at an IKEA in Burbank, California. Her escape plan falls apart when fellow actress Justine Bateman launches an internet talk show called "40 and Bitter" from the store floor, pulling Douglas back into the Hollywood orbit she hoped to abandon. The series draws an impressive roster of guest appearances from established comedians and actors including Jeff Goldblum, Keanu Reeves, Jane Lynch, Tim Meadows, Kevin Pollak, and Patricia Heaton, among others. The show balances workplace comedy with satirical takes on celebrity culture and the entertainment industry's grip on its players.
