Maya Rudolph talks about Kristen Wiig

Maya Rudolph has suggested that her Bridesmaids co-star Kristen Wiig was born to perform on Saturday Night Live.

Rudolph commented to Paper that Wiig made an immediate impression when she joined SNL in 2005 because she was supremely confident in her talent.



"Kristen came to SNL knowing who she was, which I really envy," said Rudolph, who co-starred with Wiig on the sketch comedy series for several years.

Rudolph continued: "I was 27 when I got there, and not really fully formed, but [Wiig] was an adult, and she immediately just sort of nailed it."



When Wiig herself was asked by the magazine to describe her SNL castmates, the comic joked: "I love the cast. We're like Melrose Place without the murder."

Wiig was recently rumored to be leaving Saturday Night Live at the end of the current season, but her rep has clarified that no decision will be made until next year.

Saturday Night Live continued with host Jimmy Fallon and musical guest Michael Buble at 11.30/10.30c on NBC.

Kristen Wiig is NOT going to make a Porky's Sequel!!! (Guardian Interview)

Kristen Wiig's gone from working as a waitress to filming with Robert De Niro and Sean Penn. Emma Brockes hears how the summer's hit film Bridesmaids helped put the actor on the map.



Kristen Wiig: 'Bridesmaids was definitely the biggest role I’ve ever had.'

Kristen Wiig has had the kind of summer one might imagine to be life-changing. For four years, she and Annie Mumolo, her friend and co-writer, slaved over a comedy script commissioned by Judd Apatow about a woman whose best friend is getting married. It was the 38-year-old's first lead in a film, and her first full-length script to be produced. As an indication of how it played with audiences, I watched it on a plane last month with a friend who, during the scene in which the bride squats in the street to relieve herself after a bad kebab, laughed so long and hard a woman passing in the aisle leant over and said, "What are you watching?"

Wiig smiles when I tell her this. "Proud," she says, of the day they filmed the shi**ing-in-the-street scene. "A proud moment."

We are in the tearoom of a fashionable hotel in Tribeca, the Manhattan neighbourhood where Wiig lives. Before Bridesmaids, she was known to US audiences as a long-running cast member of Saturday Night Live and elsewhere for scene-stealing cameos in films such as Ghost Town and Knocked Up.

That the film, by midsummer, had grossed more than $150m in the US and outstripped not only all of Apatow's other films, but every "R-rated female comedy" in history, puts Wiig in the zone of woman of the moment, although she chafes against this, with its implication that before Bridesmaids she was an ingenue.

The famous duelling speeches scene from Bridesmaids:

Kristen Wiig & Anti Comedy (Time Interview)

Kristen Wiig: The Anti-Comedian




Kristen Wiig's Saturday Night Live characters respond to social discomfort by talking too much and moving too much. They're a blur of tics and noises. (It's not coincidental that she does a great Kathie Lee Gifford impression.) But in the dimly lit Gordon Ramsay restaurant of her L.A. hotel, in her hipster black knit beret, Wiig is leaning back, sipping green tea and not talking or moving much at all, just being cool. It's awkward but not comic awkward. Normal awkward. Usually performers will answer "How are you?" with enough to fill your notebook. But Wiig didn't do any performing at all until she was in her late 20s. Not college theater, not high school talent shows, not little skits for her parents. In fact, she doesn't really like to speak to crowds. "At parties, I'll start talking and notice everyone is looking at me and feel dumb and say, 'Forget it,' and then start eating things," she says.

Which is how she is in movies — no crazy hair, no crazy eyes, no crazy jumping into other actors' shots. In movies, she's the anti–Will Ferrell. She played indie small in Ghost Town, Adventureland and Extract. After she was in minor roles in two Judd Apatow–produced movies, Knocked Up and Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, Apatow asked her — as he has Steve Carell, Seth Rogen and Jason Segel — to write a movie that she could star in for his company. So she and Annie Mumolo, a friend from the L.A. improv troupe the Groundlings, co-wrote Bridesmaids, a dude comedy with a chick-flick plot: a single, unemployed woman (Wiig) is asked to be the maid of honor for a friend (Maya Rudolph) who's marrying a rich guy.

It's a smart blend: the Apatow heart squishiness is already built in, and the crude jokes feel new when told from a woman's perspective. We've all seen explosive diarrhea onscreen before — but we haven't seen it from characters trying on wedding dresses. And until now, no film has given nearly enough attention to the plight of mothers changing the sheets of their pubescent sons.

Still, a movie with both fart noises and gowns is a tough sell, and it took four years for Bridesmaids to get made. "Maybe studios don't want to see women acting in a way that isn't womanly," Wiig, 37, says. "Maybe people don't." But the more Wiig devolves into horribleness in Bridesmaids — tearing apart the wedding-shower cake out of jealousy — the more sympathetic she is. "Kristen has this really likable personality that doesn't require her going big," Apatow says. "There are certain people — you love them, but you like seeing them abused. It might be the most important comedy quality: 'I love you, but I want to see horrible things happen to you,'" he adds. "She plays wilted very well," says Mumolo. "It's these boiling emotions inside barely making their way out because she's working so hard to cover them."

Covering her emotions doesn't seem as if it requires a lot of work at the restaurant, as we eat our finger sandwiches. The problem is that Wiig is shy, cool and pretty — not the petri dish of insecurities from which most comedians are made. She loved high school. (Not only was she not in any clubs; she was also one of those people who sneaked into yearbook pictures of the clubs to make fun of them.) At the University of Arizona, Wiig studied art. Then she moved to L.A. and did arty jobs: florist, graphic artist for a plastic surgeon (she illustrated what patients would look like after an operation), decorative painter. When Wiig eases up around people — I've heard — her weird creativity comes out, and she does a lot of voices and imitations. So many that the decorative painter she worked for recommended that she see a show by the Groundlings, the troupe that trained Phil Hartman, Conan O'Brien and Lisa Kudrow.

She zipped through the Groundlings' classes and won tons of stage time performing absurd characters, including a very serious composer who writes music for Disney's Main Street Electrical Parade and a chatty Target salesclerk. By 2005 she was on SNL doing the Target Lady nearly every week. In fact, there are weeks when it feels as though Wiig is in every sketch. "There are two people who arrived fully formed — her and Dana Carvey — where you saw what they did in their audition and you put it on the air," says SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels. "She has that thing that Phil Hartman and Dan Aykroyd had, which is absolute precision, but also this lightness that isn't what they had."

The precision of idiosyncratic looks and gestures is what lets Wiig take one-note characters (a woman who can't keep a secret! A woman who one-ups everyone else's story! A Lawrence Welk–era backup singer with deformed hands!) and make them compelling in their quirkiness. "As much as she goes to extremes and flies off on a broom, her characters are grounded," says Bridesmaids' Rudolph, who also worked with Wiig on SNL. "There's an uncomfortable quality to a lot of them that's painfully funny." Because her characters are simple, she's smart enough to retire them long before other SNL cast members would. She'll no longer do Penelope the one-upper or Gilly the mischievous schoolgirl, not even at Michaels' request.

Otherwise, though, Wiig seems willing to do anything — including making herself unattractive and being physically uncomfortable. In the hilarious, punky MacGruber movie, not only did she dress up as former SNL co-star Will Forte, but she also got in bed with him in 100° heat in New Mexico. "I dripped sweat onto her, body hair falling onto her. You can see these huge droplets of sweat hitting her in the face," Forte says. "I don't remember her even asking any questions about it. It was her birthday also. That was how she spent her birthday — getting mercilessly pounded." Though she didn't complain about it on set, you actually feel for her during the pounding.

"She has that sadness and vulnerability that comics have but don't always show," says three-time SNL host Jon Hamm, who plays Wiig's slimy boyfriend in Bridesmaids and helped cast her as his co-star in the upcoming comedy Friends with Kids. "She's also beautiful. She'd be horrified if she knew I was saying that. This is a lady who can wear coconuts on her boobs and talk out of her butt, but as soon as you say she's pretty, she gets super-embarrassed. She's always shrinking into a hoodie or a knit cap and doesn't want to be noticed, which is adorable."

Yes, adorable, but less so when you're trying to get her to talk about herself. Even she is surprised she is getting all this attention, especially as a comedian, which she didn't see for herself. "I went through my high school yearbook recently," Wiig says. "I was surprised people wrote I had a good sense of humor. I don't remember being funny."

Then we sit there quietly for a moment, putting clotted cream on scones. It's not unpleasant, actually. It's kind of like taking a car ride with a good friend and not needing to talk all the time.

Still, I'm thinking tea was a bad call. The hotel had scotch too.

Kristen Wiig - Movieline Interview

Kristen Wiig on Paul, Her Future at SNL and How Her Mom Doesn’t Like Gilly



Kristen Wiig realizes that not everyone is going to universally love every single character that she creates on Saturday Night Live. It’s not that she spends a lot of time (or any time, for that matter) thinking about what the overall consensus will be, but it’s kind of hard to ignore when her own mother calls to voice disapproval over a new character.
As of late, however, Wiig has her eyes set on bigger prizes: In next weekend’s Paul, Wiig has her biggest film role to date opposite Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Wiig’s greatest passion, the Judd Apatow-produced Bridesmaids, follows this May, featuring Wiig in the role of both star and co-screenwriter. In the meantime, Paul co-stars Wiig as Ruth, a devout Christian (you can tell from her T-shirt depicting Jesus shooting Darwin in the face) enlightened to the ways of the universe by an alien named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen).

The slacker extraterrestrial is on the run with two British travelers (Pegg and Frost) who help Paul flee U.S. government pursuers — an enlightenment that leads to a very rapid crash course in expletives and sexual attraction.
Movieline sat down with Wiig earlier this week to discuss her roles in Paul and Bridesmaids, her future at SNL as her film career blossoming, the secrets behind “Garth and Kat” and “Penelope,” and why even she admits that, yes, Gilly is probably a polarizing character.

Is Paul your largest movie role so far? Maybe MacGruber?

This and MacGruber might be pretty close in size, I guess. But, yeah, I think so.

You’ve been known to steal some scenes in smaller roles…

I didn’t know that…

Sure, with movies like Knocked Up. But is there a different approach when you have this much screen time?

It’s obviously more fun. You get to play more and it’s a great opportunity and I’m so lucky. But you also feel a little more pressure. Personally, I do. But with this movie it was just a no-brainer. I mean with Greg and the cast, Simon and Nick — I never really look at the size of the role. It’s the director and the people involved.

Bill Hader — who has been a castmate of yours before, aside from SNL — is in Paul as well. When is the eventual Wiig-Hader starring vehicle ever going to be made?

I would hope soon. I adore Bill and I love working with him and considering the amount of time we spend together [laughs] and work together, I could never get sick of him in a million years. He’s one of the funniest people I know and one of the nicest guys I know.

Perhaps a movie based on Paulette and Bobby from Adventureland?

That would be fun, actually. That would be fun but I probably wouldn’t say a lot. It’s kind of a quiet character. [Laughs]

Your character in Paul, Ruth, says a lot of mishmashed expletives. Did you get free reign or was that sticking to a precise script?

I mean, the script obviously had one version and we’d shoot that. And then once you start getting into the, “What if we said this?” territory, they we’re constantly pitching new things. As Simon was saying today, if they ever took one of those serious black and white photos of us kind of all in a circle thinking, it would look like we’re talking about camera shots or angles but we’re really trying to figure out, “Should we say ‘harry balls’ or should we say something else.” And everyone kind of got in on it, too. People in the crew would be like, “Hey, what do you think?” So I really can’t take credit for most of those terms.

Ruth becomes enlightened, if you will, by Paul from her strict Christian upbringing. With this aspect, how do you toe the line between comedy and something that’s mocking?

Personally, whether it’s on SNL or anything I do, I never really go down the mocking road with what I do. Mean comedy is not really something that I personally gravitate towards or something that I do. But, yeah, there’s always that fine line — especially when you’re doing an impression of someone. You know, making it funny but you don’t want to be mean to that person… at all. And I would hope that people have a sense of humor about this and know that it’s a movie; they’re certainly not trying to make any sort of broad statement or anything like that. And, you know, it does bring up the question of “How did we really get here?” “What is God?” and all of that stuff. If we have proof that there’s life on other planets — and I think that’s what they’re going for in this character — if he exists, then all the things that I’ve believed my whole life… If that one thing isn’t true then the rest can’t be true. So she finds out that sinning must not be real so she kind of goes a little crazy. [Laughs] With all of the things she hasn’t been able to do her whole life. And within about 10 seconds she tries them all. Yeah, I hope people have a sense of humor with it because there’s no malice behind it. And I hope people don’t think that, but people can get offended about things…


To be honest, I do wonder what my more religious friends back in the Midwest would think…

Yeah, I wonder with people that I know. I wonder what they would think of it but, again, I would hope that they would realize that it’s a movie and calm down. [Laughs]

Simon Pegg swears that there are not as many references in this movie as I think there are…

[Laughs] Yeah… I think there are ones that even they don’t know are in there.

But did you get all of the references?

I didn’t get all of them at first. I got some of the lines and like the music in the bar, but I’m sure there are some things that went over my head because I’m certainly not as well versed in my sci-fi movies as they are. But I am a fan of them and I actually loved watching sci-fi movies and fantasy movies when I was younger, but I’m not one of those people that could quote them or would classify myself as a sci-fi geek.

You’re one of the few SNL cast members who started on the show during the middle of a season. Did that make it harder than coming on at the start of a year?

Yeah, kind of. Yeah, it was hard. Usually you get brought in at the beginning of the year or, occasionally, after the long Christmas break. But I felt like… You know how when you walk into somebody’s living room and everyone is really comfortable and they have their shoes off and they’re all sitting on the couch together? I kind of felt like I was walking into that living room and I showed up a little dressed up, not knowing where to sit. But everyone was so welcoming when I started, but it wasn’t easy to come in after the season started.

I’m fascinated by Garth and Kat.

[Laughs] Thank you!


I think I know how it works, but, yes, how does it work? Does Armisen lead?

Yes. He definitely starts and I just try to follow. We don’t rehearse. The first time we do it that week is literally at the dress rehearsal.

Does he change the words between dress and the live show?

Oh yeah, nothing is the same. That’s why we don’t ever think of anything beforehand. If anything, we will be like, “All right, well this is a Halloween theme, so, here’s ‘pumpkins, witches, ghosts.’” We’ll think of things people can sing about, but, actually even when we do it, that all goes out the window. It’s the most fun I have because so much of the show is writing, working, deadlines, trying to figure things out, punching up your sketch, knowing you’re going to perform live. And that two and a half minutes of airtime is so freeing and fun.

And from what I know about SNL, improv is not allowed, so, with this, you guys actually get to improv.

Yes. I love doing it. Plus I get to work with Fred.



Do you feel that Gilly is polarizing? I feel it’s a character that people either love or they don’t particularly like.
Uh… yeah, probably. I mean, the first time that I did it, my mom, the next day was like, “Oh, I did not like that. That new character you did, I did not like her!” [Laughs]

When you thought of that character, did you figure some people wouldn’t embrace her?
No. I mean, I think that before I do anything.

Really?
Well, because people are going either going to love it or they are not going to love it. But I can’t think about that stuff when I’m writing something. You know, it’s great when they like it, but, if they don’t, they have their right to not like it. But, I don’t know, I enjoy doing it.

You’re kind of a chameleon in that way. I mean, there are people who don’t like Gilly…
Thanks! [Laughs]

You’re welcome! But someone who doesn’t like Gilly can love Penelope. It’s not you — it’s just your recurring characters are different.
I don’t think about it at all. If you’re creating anything at all, it’s really dangerous to care about what people think.

I’ve read that you’ve traveled around with Lorne Michaels for the last wave of SNL auditions?
No.

Really? I’ve read that in numerous places.
I went to a Groundlings show when they all went to look at people. I went with them just because I’m in the Groundlings. But I don’t know if you would call that scouting.

Well, people are.
Oh, no. No. I think I did read that somewhere, too.

Yeah, I remember thinking, “Oh, wow, Wiig’s in charge now!”
[Laughing] No. I’m not in charge. Oh, they might have been talking about when you did audition. I did get to see the tapes — the audition tapes. But it wasn’t like I had any clout in the decision.

OK, so no clout…
That people are saying? No. But that’s an OK remark! I’m just kidding.

In the entire SNL cast, Bill Hader, Jason Sudeikis and you have the most active film careers. Has it crossed your mind to leave SNL soon to further pursue your movie career?
I still have some time left at SNL. And hopefully I’ll be making movies for a really long time. I love doing it, it’s what I’ve always wanted to do — that and being on SNL. So I feel extremely lucky right now. I’m very happy. I hope to be able to do more dramatic things and direct sometime. But right now I feel extremely grateful to have the situation that I have doing SNL and then on the hiatus, hopefully, working on films. I couldn’t be happier.

So, movies is where you want to be full time. Eventually.
Yeah. I mean, I can’t be on SNL for the next 20 years.

Hammond came close.
No, he wasn’t on that long. He was on, I don’t know the exact number, I think it was around 10 or 11. But I’m not leaving right now!

And you have Bridesmaids coming up…
I’m really excited about it!

It’s funny, when I mentioned to a few people that I’d be talking to you, they all brought up Bridesmaids.
Well, I wrote it with one of my best friends in the world who’s my writing partner, Annie Mumolo, who’s amazingly funny and so f*cking talented. Yeah… I said it.

We allow that word on the Internet.
We * wrote this script… No. We started writing it almost five years ago for Judd [Apatow], which, on its own, to me, was just an amazing opportunity to go through that whole process with him and rewrite the notes and learning how to write a movie. Neither one of us had any experience at all. And then to have it actually happen and have Paul Feig direct it — who is one of the best people I’ve ever known. I still pinch myself, I can’t even believe it’s going to be in theaters. And it’s real. I’m so excited.

How was that, writing with Judd? Obviously he has experience on how to make a successful movie. Would he read the script and say, “No, that part won’t work in a movie.”
It was never, “No.” It was more like, “Maybe we could punch this up. Do you guys have any other ideas? Why don’t you think of 10 more things.” Sometimes it would be one of those 10, sometimes it would be the original thing and maybe we would shoot some of the other 10. It was very collaborative, there are scenes in the movie that are his idea.

From the way you’re talking, it sounds like Bridesmaids is your pride and joy.
[Nodding head vigorously] Yes!

So this last question is kind of silly…
I like silly questions.

When did Penelope become supernatural?
[Laughs] Actually! You know what’s funny about that? The first time that we wrote it, I wrote it with John Lutz, who’s now on 30 Rock. We couldn’t think of an ending so, just kind of as a joke, we wrote in that she would fly away at the end. And then it was one of these, “We’ll figure out the real ending later,” but we couldn’t figure out anything at the table. And then, I think the very first one, they were like, “Is she really going to fly away?” I can’t remember in the first one if I did anything. I can’t remember the first one, I’m so sorry. But then after a while, we just thought it would be funny that in one of the long list of the things that she says that she does, what if she actually did it? And then at the end you’re like, “Wait? So are all of those things true? But they can’t be true. How did she grow a beard and how is she two inches tall?” I don’t know, I’m a fan of the absurd and silly and, to us, that made us laugh.

It changed the dynamic of the sketch. The first time I saw her do something supernatural I said, “Wait, I guess she’s not lying about anything. She has powers!”
I really can’t remember if in the first one of she did wind up flying away or not — or something happened. I do remember that when we wrote it, because with sketch writing the ending is the hardest part, we could not think of an ending. It was the middle of the night and he actually did the sound effect with his mouth and I’m like, “Just put that in and do that sound effect at the table and we will see what happens.” And then it ended up getting picked and we were like, “Oh, shoot, now we really have to think of an ending.” [Laughs] No one has ever asked me that before.

Kristen Wiig - leading the way for women in comedy

The bolded bits below are quotes from Kristen.

Kristen Wiig swaps Saturday Night Live for Simon Pegg comedy, Paul

Pegg's Paul co-star has been in demand from comic royalty including Judd Apatow and Mike Judge, but now she's bringing her own "real women" to the screen.

Kristen Wiig (centre) with Nick Frost and Simon Pegg in Paul:



It's often observed that there aren't enough decent comedy roles for women in the movies but that's just not true. The real problem is that all the decent comedy roles are going to the same person: Kristen Wiig. Everyone seems to want her in their gang. From comedy heavyweights such as Judd Apatow, Will Ferrell and Mike Judge, to Drew Barrymore's rollergirl power gang in Whip It. She crops up in 30 Rock, Flight Of The Conchords, on the Funny Or Die website, in animations such as How To Train Your Dragon and The Simpsons; you name it.

PaulProduction year: 2011
Countries: France, Rest of the world, Spain, UK, USA
Cert (UK): 15
Runtime: 104 mins
Directors: Greg Mottola
Cast: Jane Lynch, Jason Bateman, Jeffrey Tambor, Kristen Wiig, Nick Frost, Seth Rogen, Sigourney Weaver, Simon Pegg

Then there's Saturday Night Live, the long-running US sketch show which Wiig basically rules these days. She is the gang. Aided by a huge array of wigs, tics, costumes, and catchphrases, Wiig creations like Target Lady (under-socialised middle-age checkout assistant), Penelope (pathological, hair-twiddling one-upper), and Gilly (irritating overgrown schoolgirl) are practically national archetypes in the US. Not to mention her parody of Christine O'Donnell's "I'm not a witch" speech. In recent years, she's featured in more SNL sketches than any other performer. If she's not careful, the league of underemployed comediennes will take out a contract on her.

Now here she is with another gang: the Simon Pegg/Nick Frost crew, who obviously decided they needed Wiig on board if their new sci-fi comedy Paul was going to crack America. Predictably, she fitted right in. "Even the first day we met for a camera test, we were already making up songs and goofing around, and I was thinking, 'OK, this is going to be fun.'" It helped that apart from Pegg and Frost, Wiig had worked with virtually everyone in the cast before: Seth Rogen (Knocked Up), director Greg Mottola (Adventureland), Jason Bateman (Extract), even Sigourney Weaver, who's hosted Saturday Night Live.

'It was interesting to be in a film with people so close to each other. You felt safe, like they were taking care of us' – Wigg on Simon Pegg and Nick Frost



Wiig plays the ugly-duckling daughter of a Christian trailer park owner, who's somehow dragged into Frost and Pegg's Winnebago for most of their fanboy road trip-turned-alien-smuggling adventure. Her character goes through an interesting transformation for a knockabout geekcom. Confronted with a real live alien (voiced by Rogen), her faith is shattered, and she subsequently indulges in everything she's spent her whole life thinking was bad, including sex, drugs and colourful entry-level swearing ("Ain't that a bag of *?"). The religious right aren't going to like it. "There's been so many alien movies, and no one's ever stopped in the middle and said, 'Wait. Is there a God?'" she says. "I'm sure it will be controversial to some people, but I don't think it's mean-spirited or judgmental."

As Pegg's love interest in Paul, though, Wiig threatened to do something even more controversial: break up the happy couple. Having seen Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz, she was aware of the long-established buddyship Pegg and Frost share, which continues in Paul. "It was interesting to be in a film with people so close to each other," she says, tenderly. "You felt safe, like they were taking care of us."

Wiig pleads jet lag. She's had a total of five hours' sleep since doing Saturday Night Live two days before, she explains. It's now Monday lunchtime, first thing in the morning New York time, yet she looks like she's about to go out to dinner. Black cocktail dress, stiletto suede boots and immaculately flicked hair. She looks like a 1970s Jane Fonda.

Wiig has been doing Saturday Night Live for six years now. At the age of 37, she might well be ready to move on, as so many have in the past, from Bill Murray to Tina Fey to Will Ferrell. Doesn't she feel like something's got to give?



"Yes, hopefully not my sanity," she says. "We do get the summers off, though." Wiig excels in the broad caricatures on SNL, but on camera she's commandingly subtle. In her best work, she almost plays her roles straight, giving her lines just enough nuance to let you in on the joke. "I think that's probably closer to me in real life," she says.

She's just completed a movie she wrote with Annie Mumolo: a wedding comedy called Bridesmaids. It looks like it could be a female version of The Hangover, with a host of other funny women including Rose Byrne, Maya Rudolph and Ellie Kemper (from the US Office). "We swear, we talk about sex, we're real people," she says. "It's full of characters who don't have their * together. We wanted to write a movie with a lot of women in it. Not that there aren't good roles for women, but there aren't enough." So it looks like the league of underemployed comediennes can cancel that hit on Wiig after all. And Wiig can stop joining other people's gangs and start her own.

With that, she's ready to stumble off jet-lagged to a TV interview. "I hope I made sense," she says apologetically. "Everyone in this country's gonna think I'm drunk or something." You totally made sense, I tell her.
"Oh good," she says with a wink. "But I am drunk."
