OH, KAY! focuses on a trio of English bootleggers who land in themiddle of romantic intrigue and hi-jinks at the height of Prohibition.
Last week, we got a taste of Jake's past with the arrival of 'The Boyz' - outrageously/drunkely played by Jerry O'Connell, Steve Little and Brandon Johnson. After Annie pulls Jake away from plans with his friends to take care of wedding stuff, tensions rise pulling Jake in two directions. In the end, in a 'who knows Jake more' drinking game, all beef was squashed and Jake no longer had to choose between his fiance and old friends.
This week, we witness the return of Jessica St. Clair (BRIDESMAIDS, PLAYING HOUSE) as Jake and Annie's 'snobby mom' neighbor. While the happy couple is dealing with her, the sidekicks (Gil, Dennah and Kay) all compete to find a date to bring to the wedding. What could possibly go wrong? A lot, actually. According to Casey Wilson's twitter, which is an overwhelming wealth of knowledge, a hate crime is committed in the building, perpetuated by Jake and Annie, hilariously I assume.

I was a very avid HAPPY ENDINGS fan, but found the series after it had sadly been cancelled. When I heard about Casey Wilson's new show, I was thoroughly excited, but also a little worried that it would be the same old gags and jokes from her previous show. I was very excited to find out that there is nothing to worry about because MARRY ME is a very different, but still quirky Casey Wilson, surrounded by an equally entertaining cast of secondary characters.
