1. An airtight Deli ProKeeper if you're no stranger to #FridgeTok and this has been on your wishlist for a minute now. This will help consolidate your cluttered deli drawer while keeping deli meat and cheese fresh for longer — we love a multi-talented product.
Promising review: "I bought this because I have the outlandish idea that my refrigerator will look just like those on TikTok, but I am pleasantly surprised to find that it keeps my cold cuts fresher for much longer than expected. It's large enough to hold a pound or more of cold cuts or cheese, which is a bonus. The sealing technology is superb and strong. At one point, I almost could not open the container due to the seal being so air tight. Not only does this product look good in my fridge, but it is saving me money, so definitely a win-win from me." — IrishEyes
Get it from Amazon for $21.95 (available in three styles).
2. A hybrid berry basket and colander that'll make cleaning your fruit a breeze! Most importantly, it'll help keep everything nice and fresh so it doesn't go bad within a matter of days of buying it — future you will be SO grateful.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "My blueberries stay fresh and crisp in this container, rather than the familiar fate of becoming soggy and moldy! I love how I can wash the berries in the strainer, pop it into the basket, and then look forward to the BEST blueberries EVER!!!!!" — Anonymous
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
3. A corduroy foldable sleeper chair when space is limited but the cozy vibes are not — this is the perf option for a reading nook *and* it transforms into a bed for any houseguests you may have. I foresee many impromptu afternoon snoozes on this thing.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This is such a comfortable chair or bed! I was very happy with my purchase. You won't go wrong if you are looking for comfort or if you need to save space. I highly recommend this." — danny
Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in two sizes and seven colors).
4. A Pikk-it tool so you can stop shaving years off your life by trying to manually untangle your own hair from the vacuum. This lil' gadget will work to get rid of all the stubborn strands that are affecting your vac's suction power. You can use it on hairbrushes as well!
Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." — MKS
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
5. A *no-scrub* weekly shower cleaner to keep your shower sparkling clean *and* mildew-free. Simply pray it once a week, let it sit, and rinse it clean the next day. Start drafting an apology letter to former you for all the hours lost to scrubbing and wiping.
Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise, it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D.
Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in two scents and two sizes).
6. A super-long duster because you'll need a way to clean extra hard-to-reach areas, like the lovely high ceilings you just *had* to have. It extends up to a whopping 100" and has a bendable duster head that'll actually do a good job of grabbing those dust bunnies you've been chasing around to no avail.
The microfiber dusting head is completely removable and machine-washable.
Promising review:"This sucker is LOOOONG. It's also short when you need it to be. But its length is one of its greatest assets, being able to reach even those ceiling beams you couldn't reach before. Finally reach the tops of picture frames that are hanging in awkwardly high places. Clean off the poles that extend the drop of the ceiling fans. Dust the corner speakers mounted at the ceiling. This is what I did in no time at all with this duster, and despite nearly two years of web buildup in some high places, I got the whole job done in just a few minutes. Seriously, you can wipe down all the webs that have been built — all without standing directly beneath the duster! The extra length also means no unexpected guests are going to drop down your shirt while you're evicting them. And I'm perfectly okay with that." — M. C. Payette
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (also available with extra attachments).
7. A vibrant set of stackable mixing bowls with sturdy lids that'll turn mundane meal prep into a joyful experience — say what?? These bowls nest inside each other, which is perfect for tiny kitchens with limited storage space. They're also dishwasher safe so you can use 'em for prepping *and* eating, which means you'll have one less dirty dish to wash.

8. A wall-mounted mop and broom holder to 1. organize your leaning tower of cleaning tools and 2. free up some valuable floor space. You get four slots for storing tools and four hooks for hanging other items, like those dustpans you never know what to do with.
Promising review:"Installation was simple and the organizer keeps everything securely in place. The wall mount feature saves floor space. The cleaning tool organizer has significantly improved my cleaning routine. It is functional, durable, and helps maintain an organized space. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to keep their supplies in order." — Yuly
Get it from Amazon for $9.79 (available in silver or black).
9. A toilet wand with disposable cleaning heads — believe it or not, cleaning your porcelain throne doesn't have to be the most dreaded task of all time. The scrubbers come loaded with cleaner, so just wave the wand around the bowl and watch the magic happen. You'll soon wonder how your past self ever lived without this thing.
The kid includes one wand with a long handle, six disposable scrubbing pads preloaded with cleaner, and one caddy for easy storage.
Promising review:"So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semiregular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before-and-after pic attached (above)." — Whitney
Get it from Amazon for $11.98.
10. And a pumice stone you'll wish you bought ages ago because it can power through years of rust, lime, and calcium buildup while still being gentle on your porcelain throne. If your standard toilet brush can't handle it, this pumice stone can!

Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in four lengths and two configurations).
12. An adjustable cabinet door organizer and towel rack duo so you'll have a place for your cutting boards or wrap boxes *and* an extra place to hang dish towels. They're probably constantly falling down from the oven handle anyway, so why not??
www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:"This works great for my little kitchen. I put cutting boards and smaller cookie sheets in one, and plastic bags of all sizes in the other. Easy extra space." — keldasings
"I absolutely love this cutting board organizer! This holds all of my cutting boards with more than enough room and even makes for cute decor in the kitchen with the external towel racks. The height of the basket is adjustable which helps make it easier to fit in a variety of different spaces! I may buy another one for cookbooks. :)" — Carly Mabli
Get a set of two from Amazon for $25.99.
13. A versatile slicker brush because let's face it, your faux fur rugs, blankets, and jackets have seen better days. I come bearing wonderful news! This super ~slick~ tool can zhuzh up wool, sheepskin, cashmere, faux fur, etc. so it looks new again.
Promising review:"Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet on them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. These rugs weren't cheap, so tossing them wasn't an option. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling kind of dry and crunchy. So, after reading and googling, I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to thoroughly brush each rug, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, but it also pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers. I really wish I had gotten this brush sooner!" — Renee
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
14. A set of washable liners so kitchen cleanup is a lot easier when you hang up your chef's hat for the day. Go on, give yourself some credit for preemptively taking care of all those fallen crumbs your future self would've been sooo mad about it. When it's time for a refresh, just take it out and give it a good wipe down before reusing.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
For hard-to-clean messes, you can pop the liner in the dishwasher!
Promising review:"I ordered these on a whim, after cleaning my self-cleaning over and seeing how some things just won't come off the interior enamel. They fit perfectly, have no discernible odor, and wash easily. I recently had the ultimate test....baked beans that boiled over. After the oven cooled, I pulled the liner out, stuck it in the sink, and all of the dried stuff came off without scrubbing!" — Lakeisland Girl
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $16.99.
15. A faux book display to conceal messy outlets, cables, and other eyesores for a clean, organized vibe that fills you with joy. You won't mind having everyone comment on your impressive "book" collection either. 😉
Covogoods is a Utah-based, woman-founded small business that specializes in storage solutions crafted from up-cycled books.
Promising review: "We absolutely love our CovoBox. It fits perfectly into our cabinet, and the cable modem/router, AppleTV, and external hard drive, and their various cables are now cleverly disguised as Harry Potter books 1–7. Great customer service, quick delivery, and a fabulous product. Two thumbs way, way up!" — John Grace
Get it from Covogoods on Etsy for $19.80+ (originally $33+; available in various customizations and sizes) OR from Amazon Handmade for $29+ (you'll choose customizations before adding to your cart).
16. A pair of beaded fan pull extenders giving some major "why didn't I think of this sooner?" energy. You'll never have to guess whether you're pulling the cord for the light or the fan! These also add a good foot of length to your pulls, which is super helpful for the shorties out there.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:" This is the definition of "product you didn't know you needed because you didn't know it existed." I was FOREVER pulling the wrong chain on our bedroom ceiling fan. (Want the light off? Oh no...now the fan's on high. Need to change the fan speed? Eek... now you're in the dark.) They're a much better quality than I expected. They're actually quite heavy-duty pull chains, and they add a bit of fun to the decor. (When you notice them — most of the time, who even thinks about a ceiling fan pull chain?) As an added bonus, my infant daughter loves staring at them while I change her diaper or jammies. I tap them to make the chains swing, and it's instant fascination, which helps make my job easier!" — LHD
Get it from Amazon for $5.88+ (available in two lengths and three finishes).

Insert your preferred blade and lock it into place, add your veggie, close the lid, and chop your heart out!

Promising review: " This product is amazing. I used it for my chicken and dumplings recipe. I figured it was another one of a 'too good to be true' items, but this does everything it says it does. I literally shredded two large chicken breasts in seconds, yes SECONDS!! I wish I would've taken a video, but I didn't. It didn't move/slip from the counter and it was perfection! Wow, just Wow!" — Ruthie K Voss
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in nine colors).

Get it from Amazon for $8.62 (available in several metallic finish colors).
20. Some internet-famous Mellanni sheets that'll make it hard for you to get out of bed in the best way. It'll also be hard to believe they don't cost hundreds of dollars given the wonderfully soft moisture-wicking microfiber fabric.
Promising reviews: "My favorite sheets have to be Cozy Earth. But they are way too pricey for a guest bed. These sheets are just as good without the huge price tag. Side by side comparison to these vs expensive brands like Cozy Earth or Peacock Alley — these sheets are thinner and deeper, which actually fit better on our deep mattress with a 3-inch topper, these sheets are just as cool feeling as the higher-end ones when you get in bed. They wash well. Actually better than [the] Peacock Alley brand. They hardly wrinkle. And even after months of use, they are still in great shape. They haven't started to peel yet or fray. No loose threads or tears. Great sheets!" — Susan
"I read from other reviews these sheets were soft so I wasn't too surprised when I received them and man are they soft and so comfortable. We have Egyptian cotton sheets that were expensive and I promise we have changed them back out for the comfort of these sheets. The cotton sheets were cold and these were just right. The other thing is my husband has thin skin that any nick he will bleed. Well, he has bled on these white sheets and when we washed them (in cold water as instructed) the blood always comes out and never stains. I can't say enough great things about them except to say all three of my adult kids are receiving a set as part of their Christmas!" — Sheree Chrestman

I'm a side sleeper and this pillow is heaven. It's some of the most comfortable sleep I have had in ages. I love it so much I bought a second one and have my eye on the body pillow. Obsessed! You need this in your bedroom." — MT
Get it from Amazon for $79+ (available in queen and king sizes, and three shapes).
22. A sleek wall-mounted towel rack when your home wasn't exactly blessed with a massive linen closet. Mount this baby on the wall, roll up your towels, and you've got the next best thing! It can hold up to six towels and will save space in other areas that were cramped with too many towels.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Reviewers also use this rack for storing purses, rolling pins, wine bottles, yoga mats, umbrellas, and all sorts of other items.
Promising review:"Anyone with a small bathroom knows that free space is almost non-existent, and these have been so great. We bought two, so we had one for each bathroom, and we were able to get the majority of our towels up on them and looking nice (which means we freed up space in the linen closet)!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.82 (also available as a two-pack).
23. Some reusable beeswax food wrap you'll wish you'd found a lot sooner in your adult life. This is a more sustainable option than say, aluminum foil and plastic wrap. It'll keep your food fresh without any single-use products.

They're cheap, so clean up is a breeze. When it's dirty, just remove it, throw it away, and replace it with a new one. It makes cleaning the stove top so easy!" — Melanin Monroe

25. Or a set of similar liners for electric ranges designed to fit *just* right under your burners so no messes can escape and get stuck to the drip pans. You from the future is probably gonna shed a tear of joy over this revelation.
Promising review:"These are great covers to protect your drip pans from spills. I like that they're small enough to fit underneath the heating component but don't cover the outer ring of the drip pan that is most visible on the stove. Since the outer part is easily accessible to wipe down immediately after a spill these covers allow you to protect the inner part without sacrificing the appearance of a clean shiny drip pan on your stove. Considering the fact that this set came with 25 of each size, I would consider this a very good deal." — chem grad student
Get a 50- pack from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a pack of 100).
26. A drain cover if you'd love to enjoy a glorious bubble bath every now and then but your tub is far too shallow...until now! This cover will give you a bit of extra warm water without causing the overflow drain to kick in and ruin the vibe.
Don't worry, it doesn't block your overflow drain completely but rather moves it up several inches — there's a 1-inch hole at the top of this cover that still allows excess water to drain safely.
Promising review:"Can I give this thing 10 gold stars? I have a 4-foot bathtub (so small it should be illegal), so I used to bring a towel in the tub to cover myself just to keep warm because the water was so shallow. I've used this drain cover three times, and now I literally bask in my Epsom salt baths. The silence is wonderful; I used to seethe at hearing the precious bath water drip-drop down the overflow drain. Buy it, hands-down a peace preserver." — M. Smith
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in nine colors).
27. A lovely set of pastel "unbreakable" deep plates so you can brighten up your dull dinnerware cabinet in a flash and make cooking — dare I say — FUN! Most important of all, they're dishwasher-safe *and* microwave-safe for up to three minutes.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "These are microwaveable and light to carry. Love the colors. Wish they were available in one color only, but I can't complain. I primarily bought these for microwave purposes. But can be used for salads, hot soup, etc. Also it's an in-between size like a medium. Just right for me." — M. Zolnosky
Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as bowls!).
28. A rotating utensil holder if your head ~spins~ whenever you struggle to find a utensil that seems to be permanently stuck at the bottom of a messy drawer. It won't be long before you're writing a lengthy "thank you" card to yourself for thinking of this one.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I cook a LOT. I had a utensil holder, but it wasn't big enough so it was hard to slide the utensils in — and if it was semi-empty, they were tilting and falling. I threw it away and used a drawer but then was super sick of digging through everything to get what I needed, especially when you have something on the stove and you need it pronto. I ordered this and love it. It rotates so you can spin it around to get what you need really quickly, has three dividers in it (so the utensils aren't falling over every time you pull one out), and is big enough to fit everything. I have maxed it out with all my utensils — I have 16 cooking utensils in it at a time. It also looks really nice and sleek on the counter. I highly recommend this product." — Jessie
Get it from Amazon for $22.93.
29. An ultra-soft faux-fur rug when you wanna wake up in the morning and immediately treat your feet to a glorious sensation. Really, what's worse than getting outta bed and being met with the ice-cold floor? Maybe in a past life, but not anymore!
Amazon
Hand washing and spot cleaning is recommended!
Promising review:"My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The faux furs keep your backside insulated and then topped with the blanket they are able to have cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It's honestly pretty sweet and the dog gets her own to lie on when she's outside too." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in four sizes, two shapes, and 11 colors).

Promising review: "These are worth the money! There are labels for almost every basic syrup as well as blanks so you can label them yourself. If you get a regular-size Torani syrup bottle, it will hold the whole bottle, so you don't need to worry about storing a quarter of the bottle of syrup. SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING, TOO." — Naomi
Get a set of four from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three colors and in sets of two or six).
31. And this slim set of oil dispensers because you don't *have* to be the sad owner of bland kitchen vessels anymore. These cuties will hold your oils, look good doing it, and take up less space. You'll only wish you found 'em in a previous lifetime.

Each set includes two glass bottles, two gold dispensers, a funnel, and 37 stain-free labels.

Get a set of two from Amazon for $44.95 (available in three colors and as a set of four).
32. A brush and squeegee combo if you're a big fan of 2-in-1 tools that help you tackle different tasks. This nifty number hangs on the edge of your sink and can be used to sweep the wet *or* dry countertop to get rid of spills and scraps.
Amazon

Promising review: "I wish I made this purchase sooner! This tissue box is chic and the perfect modern addition to any room. It's well made, and I've had no issues with this product in five months. There's a strap to secure the tissue box into the holder. Will definitely purchase more :)" — Liz
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in nine colors).

Amazon
Elypro is a small business in New York City making clever organization products for the home.
Promising review: "These mug organizers work really well. I just ordered my third set. I've been using them for about five months and the cups sit on them nicely. I like that you can change the size so if you have some mugs which are bigger/smaller than others, the organizers work for them as well." — Amazon Customer
Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).

www.amazon.com
You can use these for so much more than clothing! Think craft supplies, extra toiletries, shoes...basically whatever you have too much of.
Promising review:" These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." — Kimberly Dorn

These new deliciously tinted, moisturizing, buildable glosses are just as buttery and decadent as the balms that inspired them, for a fraction of the price. (Brb, drowning myself in the "Strawberry Shortcake" and "Vanilla Toffee" flavors.) A jewelry-cleaning stick with cleansing solution on a brush designed specifically to get in the nooks and crannies of your jewelry, so you can dig out all the grime that's accumulated over the years on the cheap instead of taking it to the jeweler.

A cute lil' insect catcher you can set in a plant or near your fruit bowl or compost to deal with any unwanted fluttering guests. These odorless sticky traps are designed to work indoors and outdoors and will stop fruit flies, gnats, mosquitoes, and more — without the high price tag of the electronic or liquid versions. An airtight Deli ProKeeper so beloved that it's gone viral on FridgeTok (if you know, you KNOW). Not only does this free up space and clutter in the fridge, but it keeps deli meat and cheese so fresh that you'll actually get your darn money's worth by preventing waste. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment, an Olaplex-like repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding.

Plus, you know what they say — keep your friends close and your beloved lippies closer. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion, which TikTok has spent years going *feral* over both because of the lightweight, long-lasting moisture, and the soothing, delicious smell that reviewers compare to more expensive brands like Philosophy and Bath & Body Works. It's so beloved that Eos recently released a matching Vanilla Cashmere Shave Oil! A set of golden bracelets giving ~quiet luxury~ vibes at "I want to pay rent this month" prices.

This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake.

A drain snake you can funnel into your shower or sink drain that honestly works a little *too* well at unclogging hair in older sinks and bath tubs, pulling it up in one (semi-horrifying) go before you have to resort to expensive plumbers or using pipe-damaging traditional drain cleaners. An affordable, Lululemon-esque longline sports bra just as comfy, supportive, and versatile as the real thing that reviewers love it both for outdoor workouts, gym use, *and* errand running.

A reusable microfiber Swiffer mop pad that reviewers love not only because it's ready for action again right after a wash cycle, but because it picks up a ton more dirt, gunk, and debris than the disposable mops do, *and* it's a heck of a lot cheaper than stocking up on the one-use versions over time. MagicMinerals AirBrush Foundation, which lives up to its name and THEN some — one quick spray of the foundation on the included brush, and it glides so smoothly and subtly over your skin texture that you'll feel like a makeup artist did it for you.

'Adults' star Malik Elassal: Add Canadian comedian, actor and writer to the list of comedy sensations
For decades, comedy has been considered one of Canada's greatest exports, including notable talents like Eugene Levy, Martin Short, Catherine O'Hara and the late John Candy. Adding to that legacy is Malik Elassal, who stars in the popular new show Adults (on Disney+ in Canada, Hulu in the U.S.), created by Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw (The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon). Making the move from Alberta to the U.S., incredibly skilled in hysterical stand-up comedy, with moments from his sets going viral, Elassal is set to be another of one Canada's comedy legends. And what makes Adults a great introduction for many is that the show really showcases each cast member's unique comedy strengths. "We all come from these different places, but when we come together there's something between all of us," Elassal told Yahoo Canada. "Amita [Rao] is an improviser. Lucy [Freyer] was an actor in Juilliard. But then when we come together, we sort of have our our own rhythm that's outside of improv training, outside of more standard actors training, or outside of TikTok." In Aults, a group of friends move in together in Samir's (Malik Elassal) childhood home in New York. Samir is trying, at least sometimes, to take on more responsibility in life, Billie (Lucy Freyer) is pursuing a career in journalism, Anton (Owen Thiele) was Samir's college roommate who can be friends with anyone. Issa (Amita Rao) is taking on odd jobs with her infectious personality, and she's dating Paul Baker (Jack Innanen), who she convinces Samir to let move in with the rest of the group. The show in intensely funny in a way that leans into absurdity at times, awkwardness at others, and navigates different elements and styles of comedy effortlessly, largely thanks to this impressive cast. With Elassal already receiving positive feedback from the show, he's really just happy to make people smile and laugh. "It feels like it falls in line with my love language, to give somebody this big thing and for them to enjoy it," he said. As Elassal described, a lot of the brilliant on-screen chemistry we see between this group of friends in Adults was formed by the natural evolution of the group's off-screen dynamic. "[When] we started hanging out and started being on set, you just realize that somebody has been on the same version of the internet as you," Elassal said about his friendship with fellow Canadian Jack Innanen. "We just really became close." With Samir having a particularly close frienship with Billie in the show, Elassal added that even just taking walks with Lucy Freyer and ribbing each other in real life informed what we see on-screen. Additionally, Kronengold and Shaw looked to the actors to inform their scripts. "We started to find out that things from our lives would end up in the script," Elassal said. "So we'd have takes where we got to add things in there, and that was always really fun." A particularly hysterical moment in the show is Episode 6, where Billie is hosting her boyfriend, and her former high school teacher, played by Charlie Cox, for dinner. As Billie tries to get all of her roommates in line with the hopes of a more sophisticated evening, things quickly take an unexpected and hysterical turn when Cox's character shows up high on a "pony dose" of ketamine, and Paul Baker's friend, who happens to be Julia Fox (who's playing herself), comes over for the meal. "We were block shooting the whole series, so every episode was over the span of like four or five days, or so. And usually we have different locations and we were going to different places, but ... for like four or five days in a row we're just in this house, basically," Elassal explained about that epiosde. "And I'm in this giant suit looking ridiculous and running around, and it just felt like a day that never ended." "It really kind of led into this dreary, looming feeling that the episode has. ... Charlie would show up, and then me and Charlie would have scenes together at like 2:00 a.m., after everybody went home, and he was kissing me on the forehead. It's all just very surreal. ... And then one day they're like, 'Oh, hey, Julia Fox is coming today.' ... You see my reaction to Julia Fox being on my couch in the episode, ... it's basically just how I felt." In terms of what drew Elassal to a career in comedy, there wasn't necessarily a specific "breakthrough" moment, but he can identify the time that he understood the feeling of being able to make someone laugh. "I remember a moment watching my older cousin, when I was younger, stand up and do an impression of his dad to all of the aunts and uncles, ... and him making them all laugh so hard," Elassal said. "And I was like, 'Oh, this is the coolest person I've ever seen.'" "I think something from that time might have gotten in my head of like, that's a real, worthwhile thing to do in your life, is to be able to make a group of people that happy." While a Canadian making the move to the U.S. always feels like a big professional step, it was a "culture shock" for Calgary-raised Elassal. "It's insane. It's such a culture shock," Elassal said. "You're going to the airport in America and they have signs up like, hey please don't bring your gun on the plane. And I'm like, are people doing that? Like, accidentally?" "I mean, there's a craziness to America. And it's fun to live there. But whenever I come back to Canada, I still feel at home, even though New York is home right now." As Elassal's career progresses, from stand-up comedy to TV, and even joining projects from other famed comedians, like Pete Holmes' podcast, "You Made It Weird," we certainly can't wait to see what Elassal does next. "It's unbelievable. I'm consistently so happy to get to meet all these people that I was already such a fan of, and it's amazing to get to work with them," he said. "It's such a dream come true. ... I'm really lucky that I get to have my dreams come true."
