Dine on This: "Kaitlin Olson is a Modern Day Lucille Ball"

Eldergays, showbiz gays, and couch-potato queers: Tell us what you really think about this comparison. It's a dated article, but does the author have a point?

Olson is, of course, the token crass woman on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," where she sees frequent injuries, horrific fashion missteps, a tragically overinflated self-image, and a litany of abuse from her four male costars. She's one of the guys, and yet totally self-absorbed as a character. She also used to be a pretty little number, before the Botox Fairy dropped by.

For me, I'd say the Lucille Ball comparison is better suited to Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who has the range, talent, and business sense to rival Lucy's withered old balls.

Lucy was before my time, but Kaitlin Olson is truly gifted. Her attempting stand-up and dry heaving is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. The scene where she ran headfirst into a car door was real, and she was seriously injured, but kept filming. Appears to have body dismorphia/food issues, though, based on her appearance.
