Kristen Wiig - not leaving SNL?

If an actor is lucky, "Saturday Night Live" can function as their springboard to fame. Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey & Amy Poehler are just a few of the Not Ready For Primetime Players who were, in fact, ready for prime time -- and the big screen.



Each left at the top of their game to pursue other projects and the current fear is that a promising big screen career will lure Kristen Wiig away from the show as well...

"At some point I guess you have to leave the nest," Kristen said. "But I have a few more years there. I’ll be around for a little bit." Cue collective sigh.

So while she continues to work on both screen sizes, the Gotham Magazine covergirl (seen here with "MacGruber" co-star Ryan Phillippe at the Grey Goose sponsored party) has no plans to peace out any time soon. Nor does she plan to give any of her "SNL" character the big screen treatment.

"I can’t think of any character of mine that I do that anyone would want to see for two hours in a row," she said. "Not trying to put my characters down, but I don’t know ... if people would flock to the theater to see that. What do you think?"
