Balanced News: Anna Drezen Said Goodbye to ‘Saturday Night Live’ to Make ‘Praise Petey.’ She’s Still Processing What That Means

Anna Drezen, a former head writer on Saturday Night Live (SNL), recently left the show to create her own sitcom, “Praise Petey,” which premiered on Freeform this summer. The show mocks the narrative of a big-city woman moving to a small town and finding love, instead focusing on a character who experiences humiliation and tries to hide after her life falls apart. Drezen, known for her bubbly and self-deprecating personality, has had a diverse career in writing and comedy, including stand-up, blogging, and writing for shows like Girls5Eva and Miracle Workers.
