BRIEF: Amy Sedaris races through obstacle course inspired by Shonda Rhimes

Nov. 10--After climbing a mountain of wigs and engaging in simulated sex with a nurse, Amy Sedaris was crowned the new mayor of "ShondaLand," an obstacle course inspired by shows produced by Shonda Rhimes.

Sedaris, a Second City alumna, was shown traversing the so-called theme park named for Rhimes' production company ShondaLand in a clip from comedian Billy Eichner's show "Billy on the Street" posted online Tuesday.

Obstacles included busting through the glass ceiling at ABC and sliding down "Scandal" star Kerry Washington's "water slide of tears." Rhimes, who grew up in the south suburbs, is the creator of ABC shows "Scandal" and "Grey's Anatomy" and an executive producer of "How to Get Away with Murder."

Eichner, a Northwestern University alumnus, debuted "Billy on the Street" in 2011. The show airs Thursdays on truTV at 9:30 p.m.

Meanwhile, Rhimes is scheduled to appear on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" Tuesday to discuss her new book "Year of Yes," which was released Tuesday.
