Ric Speaks with One of the Hottest Names in Comedy, Maria Thayer. Maria Stars as Librarian Abbey Logan in truTV’s Hilarious New Comedy, Those Who Can’t Thursdays 10:30 PM ET/PT

Created by and starring the Denver-based comedy troupe The Grawlix, Those Who Can’t is the first-ever scripted series on truTV. The uproarious comedy follows three inept, trouble-making teachers who try to beat the system as they struggle to survive each day on their own terms. Joining them is Maria Thayer as Abbey Logan, the school librarian with an insuppressible passion for life. Although Abbey wasn’t popular in high school, she doesn’t consider herself “damaged,” and believes her past has nothing to do with her recent divorce or her crippling sugar addiction.

Those Who Can’t guest stars include Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Susie Essman (Curb Your Enthusiasm), T.J. Miller (Silicon Valley), Peter Stormare (Fargo) and Michael Madson (Reservoir Dogs).

She stars in the upcoming film Table 19 alongside Anna Kendrick and Lisa Kudrow, and recently starred in the horror comedy Night of the Living Deb. Her other film credits include State of Play, Accepted, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Hitch, Storytelling, and the independent Let Go.
