    I love Penelope! But what about the "Two A-holes"?

    As a game show nerd, this titillates my nipples as Michael Davies has been working on a pilot for a revival of Pyramid that CBS has expressed interest in. Fuck soaps.

    Here is your first subject...

    I can tell she's very talented, but that stupid "just kidding" lady is just...well, unfunny. She's a cross between Kevin Nealon's "subliminal guy" and...um, some other character that annoys me.

    This is probably a one-off skit, but Wiig's impression of a theater actress circa 1960 is so incredible, is has fast become my favorite character she has ever done. LOOK AT ME!

    Um, yeah. This Lawrence Welk skit made a sound occur from my face that wasn't pleasant. Never watch "The Wiig" while innocently eating ice-cream. A choke-chortle-wheeze-spit-cough-lady bark isn't pretty.

    Gilly reminds me of Horatio Sanz's Carol. People either really love her or reaaaallly hate her.

    Though I think more people defended Carol, which isn't saying much.

    @hortense: Carol, however, followed the unalterable comedy rule "Fat guy in drag = funny". Gilly does not.

    I'm not gonna stand for this sitting around and complaining about anything Kristen Wiig does. She. Is. Amazing. And god bless SNL actually is smart enough to use her in nearly ever skit. And they'd damn well better be paying her well too. When she quits it, I quit it.

    I'll say it - I really liked the original Gilly skit. I feel like there's a lot of gold to be mined there, but the formula needs to be tightened up so that the skits don't go too long and asphyxiate themselves. This is a potentially great vehicle for some very dark humor, and any number of ways to make social commentary. She might be a better character to use for the Digital Shorts - editing might free the process a little.

    Love Kristen Wiig, though.

    I also like her Madonna impression and when she played Amy Poehler's movie-reviewing aunt. And she is simply spectacular as Beeker when the cast does the Muppets. Seriously, I love that.

    This weekend I was watching old episodes of the reality show, The Joe Schmo Show. (Don't ask, it was a college thing.) Anyway, I had no idea Kristen played The Quack - it made me love it even more!

    YES! Big love for Kristen Wiig.

    Judy Grimes is one of my favorite charters.

    Not to mention Kristen's half of "2 A Holes..." and she played a different reporter with Brian Williams who played a Publisher's Clearing House winner. I can't find the video but it was hilarious.

    Gilly, however is not entertaining.

    Wait a minute. Usually I agree with everyone's criticism of SNL. But Gilly has to be one of my favorites. Maybe because she reminds me of me when I was little. Maybe because I can do a great impression. Maybe because even now whenever my husband or my boss says "Koooooooklaaaaaaa?" I still look at them and say, "Schharry!"
