Kaitlin Olson rears three spoiled rich kids in ‘The Mick’ Cover Story
By Jacqueline Spendlove TV Media
As an adult who doesn’t entirely have her life together, I can sympathize with those who find it tiresome (and a little scoff-inducing) to watch shows featuring 20and 30-somethings who totally have life figured out. Listen, we’re not all married with two lovely children, a high-paying job, a house and more than two closets before the age of 35 (or heck, even 40, these days).
That’s why I think people will really get on board with “The Mick,” a new sitcom headlined by “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s” Kaitlin Olson. Whatever your current station in life, there’s something pretty great about seeing a full-fledged adult making life happen even though absolutely no element of that life is solidly nailed down. The auspicious comedy premieres New Year’s Day on Fox, before moving to its regular Tuesday night time-slot starting Jan. 3.
Olson, who also executive produces the show, stars in “The Mick” as the titular Mackenzie “Mickey” Murphy, a sharp-minded yet salty, ribald and chronically shiftless hustler from Rhode Island who’s never had a shred of interest in acquiring any sense of responsibility. Broke again, she travels to Greenwich, Connecticut, to pay a visit to her estranged sister, Pamela (Tricia O’Kelley, “The New Adventures of Old Christine”), and billionaire brother-in-law, hoping for a handout.
She ends up with a good deal more than a fat check and a hasty
retreat, however. It seems that Pamela, who has built up an impressive blue-blood facade, doesn’t have her own life tied up so neatly after all, even as she criticizes her wayward sister. When she and her husband are nailed with federal fraud charges, they flee the country, leaving their three kids in the care of their foul-mouthed, hardliving, booze-swilling Aunt Mickey.
On the one hand, Mickey suddenly finds herself in a huge Connecticut mansion with a pool, a convertible, a housekeeper and closets full of designer clothes. On the other hand, this highly irresponsible woman is now entirely responsible for the rearing and well-being of three horribly spoiled children.
Teenaged Sabrina (Sofia BlackD’Elia, “The Messengers”) oozes disdain for the whole situation, leaving the quick-witted Mickey to resort to unconventional tactics to keep her in line. Entitled 13-yearold Chip (Thomas Barbusca, “Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp”) is insufferably arrogant with an “extremely punchable face” (Fox’s words, not mine), and thinks that throwing money at a problem will make it go away. Seven-year-old Ben (newcomer Jack Stanton), still young enough that he hasn’t yet been ruined by his pampered upbringing, is a cuteas-a-button nerd-in-the-making with this own credit card.
It’s a true fish-out-of-water scenario for Mickey, who not only has to live alongside these mostly distasteful kids, but raise them to be normal, decent humans as well. Her niece and nephews are under-
standably less than thrilled about the whole setup, yet, as anyone lucky enough to have grown up with a “fun” aunt or uncle will understand, they soon get on board with having a ne’er-do-well for a guardian. As “Always Sunny” fans know, the role of the hot mess is one with which Olson is well acquainted. Mickey is comparable to Sweet Dee, the character Olson has played for 11 seasons in the FX series. As much as Olson loves her “Always Sunny” work, she’s thrilled to be stepping into a more family-friendly network.
“I spent 12 years on a show that my children can’t watch,” the mother of two explained to Bustle. “I set out to make something that could maintain the comedic integrity of what we were going for, ... a network show that really feels like it belongs in cable.”
Whatever the series, comedy is clearly where Olson is in her element. Before starring in “Always Sunny,” she toured with The Groundlings, the improvisational and sketch comedy troupe whose alumni list includes the likes of Jon Lovitz (“Saturday Night Live”), Will Ferrell (“Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” 2004), Lisa Kudrow (“Friends”) and Melissa McCarthy (“Ghostbusters,” 2016), to name just a few notables who went on to enjoy illustrious comedy careers. She’s had guest spots in “Family Guy,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “The Drew Carey Show” and “New Girl,” but it’s with Sweet Dee that the actress has really made a name for herself.
While Olson is undeniably a strong comedic presence, the kids
are a major driving force of the show. From Sabrina getting tricked into downing a NyQuil cocktail to keep her home from an unsanctioned night on the town to Chip getting the dirt kicked out of him by a bully, thanks to Mickey’s “helpful” advice, the young actors definitely hold their own in the show. And, with the typical resilience of children, it doesn’t take too long for their characters to adjust to their much weirder new lives; they seem admirably unphased by waking up to their aunt facedown in the front hall clad in a wine-soaked wedding dress. Stick around after the NFL doubleheader for the series premiere of “The Mick.” It airs Sunday, Jan. 1, on Fox, before moving to its regular home on Tuesday nights.

Ah, it’s 2017 at last! Starting out a new year feels as I imagine a painter feels when looking at a new canvas: a pristine, blank slate, full of potential and hope, ready to become something beautiful with just a bit of elbow grease.
Well, the folks behind Fox’s “MasterChef” are getting into that New Year’s spirit again this year. Last January, they hosted a special charity event in the “MasterChef” kitchen, and this year they’re doing it again, awarding several deserving charities much-needed cash donations to help them make 2017 a great year.
“MasterChef Celebrity Showdown,” a two-hour special event,
airs Monday, Jan. 2, on Fox. Similar to “MasterChef” and its pint-sized spinoff “MasterChef Junior,” chefs Gordon Ramsay and Christina Tosi oversee a cooking competition between some talented amateur cooks. For “Showdown,” it’s set up as a sort of duel, with celebrities facing off in a cooking challenge, and the winner earning a hefty donation for the charity of his or her choice.
So who are these celebrities?
Well, the first showdown is a team challenge between “Empire” stars Trai Byers and Grace Gealey and celebrity couple NeNe and Greg Leakes, stars of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” In the second showdown, “Curb Your Enthusiasm’s” Cheryl Hines faces off against Kal Penn, who’s currently
starring in the political drama “Designated Survivor.”
The real treat for “MasterChef” fans, though, comes in the third and final showdown. In a huge “MasterChef” first, Ramsay and Tosi face off against each other in a team battle, with celebrities acting as souschefs for these culinary juggernauts.
Cooking alongside “Black-ish” star Anthony Anderson, Ramsay hopes to win the prize money for the Watts/Willowbrook Boys & Girls Club. On the other side of the kitchen, Tosi teams up with “Lethal
Weapon” star Jordana Brewster to try to earn that cash for the charity No Kid Hungry.
Although both of these master chefs have cooked in the “MasterChef” kitchen before, they’ve never competed against each other. It feels fitting that they will finally be throwing down to help give their charities a happy start to the New Year.
“MasterChef Celebrity Showdown” fires up the ovens in a new episode airing Monday, Jan. 2, on Fox.

Matthew McConaughey says he gained 45 pounds for his role in the new movie “Gold” by eating pizza and cheeseburgers, and [drinking] beer every night. It’s real dedication there. Then the director was like: “No one asked him to do that.”
