You know her from lots of stuff including the Between Two Ferns movie, as a writer on Grand Crew, and most recently from Dropout TV, where she has hosted a ton of stuff including her latest Smartypants, whose second season debuted in March. On today's episode, we find out how dating is like writing a comedy sketch, going on dates with Staten Island rude boys, how many AP classes Rekha has taken, feeling like you're behind everyone else romantically, the future Mall Wars and MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!
