Is she not the hottest and most talented comedienne currently?

A rare instance of Dolan being 100% correct on something.

Uli · January-21st-2009, 08:34 AM

I've only seen the evidence attached but as ususal I am a little skeptical with Olewnicks ratings.

Enforcer · January-21st-2009, 08:41 AM

Totally agree. I just started noticing her a few months ago for the first time. Very impressed.

Chris D · January-21st-2009, 09:35 AM

I like her all right, but her characters tend to be one-note nervous talkers.

Monte Smith · January-21st-2009, 09:51 AM

That's a funny bit but once you understand the conceit, about four seconds into it, the fun is over and she is not attractive. The odds of the hottest or funniest anything being on SNL is slim.

Disagree. Amy Poehler was hot and funny as well.

The Penelope character is the most boring and annoying recurring nightmare on SNL since the last one.

About the only thing that clip did for me was to make me long for Floyd R. Turbo, American.

Poehler and her husband Will Arnett are both pretty funny.

Wiig is cute, but not very funny.

SNL has been surprisingly good at times the last couple of years.

Monte Smith · January-21st-2009, 12:04 PM

It's not a show I care for. I think comedy is better without the pressure of a weekly star who may or may not have comedy chops, a live format, a short week's preparation, and a vast amount of cocaine.

Gentle Giant · January-21st-2009, 01:13 PM

Wiig. What is that, a gamebox with fake hair?

Bodacious. Good call, Scott.

I think she’s funny. Poehler too. Not 100% of the time funny but I think given the conditions of what they do, they both do a good job. I think Wiig takes more risks than Poehler. Wiig’s characters are perhaps very similar, but still sometimes I think she is fascinating to watch the way she inhabits these characters.

Scott Dolan · January-21st-2009, 10:08 PM

Her Kathie Lee Gifford impersonation a couple of weeks ago was absolutely golden!

edpack · January-22nd-2009, 10:39 AM

I totally agree - funny and hot. Amy too.

gonzo · January-22nd-2009, 02:38 PM

except for the palin routines the is a series of juvenile skits. shes is pretty nice looking though.

Scott Dolan · January-22nd-2009, 02:48 PM

She's not the one doing the Palin impression. That's Tina Fey.

rollhead · January-22nd-2009, 02:55 PM

I like Abby Elliott, if only because she is Chris Elliott's daughter and Bob Elliott's granddaugther. Comedic royalty.

She's pretty easy on the eyes, too.

gonzo · January-22nd-2009, 07:03 PM

i was referring to the show in general. i'd have to be dead not to know its tina. stinkier huh?

Scott Dolan · January-22nd-2009, 08:43 PM

Hahahahahaha........

It was a joke if you're thinking otherwise.

walto · January-22nd-2009, 09:01 PM

I thought she was really funny in Ghost Town, and I wondered if she might be an SNLer.
