"All That" cast member and Nick comedienne extraordinaire Amanda Bynes is the star of her own variety show!

The show's outrageous cast of characters includes a family of professional wrestlers who take their work home with them, a gavel-happy judge out for kid-justice, an old lady with an over-developed derriere, and, of course, Amanda's "overly enthusiastic" #1 fan, Penelope Taynt (who's even built a website devoted to her obsession: amandaplease.com )! Oh, and did we mention the dancing lobsters?
