Watch Alison Brie Read Craigslist ‘Missed Connections’

By Anne Cohen January 31, 2014

How do you make Craigslist less creepy? Call in Alison Brie.

The Jewish “Community” and “Mad Men” actress was on Jimmy Kimmel, where the comedian had her read a series of “Missed Connections” entries out loud. They seemed almost romantic.

For those of you who have a life, Missed Connections, as described by Kimmel, are “messages from people who met or saw someone they were attracted to, but for whatever reason didn’t get their number.”

Cue mood music.
