Kristen Wiig - announces for the Rick Santorum SNL Cold Open

So this is probably only the second time that Andy has starred in a Cold Opening like this! Kristen Wiig announces for him...

Cold Opening - A Message From Rick Santorum

Andy Samberg ... Rick Santorum
Kristen Wiig ... announcer (voice)

Days after nearly winning the Iowa caucus, Rick Santorum talks about taking the rest of his campaign directly to the people in every corner of the country.



Okay. The food he ate (with the prank) was hilarious!

Starting a war with Iran! Nice!

Mormon death squads! Ha!

Grandchildren looking him up on Google! Nice goal!

Wow, I haven't seen a monologue like this in quite awhile. Andy nailed it!

Unfortunately, Kristen only has a short line at the beginning in this one.

Enjoy!

Joanne's Announcement (SNL)

When Joann tells her friends, and lover, she is a lesbian, everyone has a hard time believing her.



Kristen supports.

Well, amusing, but they didn't really know how to end it.

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig in Chantrix (SNL)

Commercial - Chantix

Bill Hader ... husband
Kristen Wiig ... wife



Hilarious! My favorite Kristen Wiig bit in the show this week!

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig is Michele Bachmann - SNL Weekend Update

Representative Michele Bachmann stops by to talk to Seth Meyers about ending her campaign for president, and is excited to get some rest.

Truthfully I've never seen an amazing impression of Bachmann. Let's see how Kristen's latest attempt (and one of the last?) pans out...



Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig in Jimmy Fallon's SNL Monologue (Christmas Song)

NBC had a change of heart/copyrights and posted the Jimmy Fallon SNL Monologue.

Quite a cheer when he came out!

Host Jimmy Fallon grabbed his guitar and made merry in the halls of SNL, offering songs to old friends along the way.



Holy crack in the smack!

Alright, if I didn't do it earlier, I'm going to do it now. I'm predicting that this episode will get Jimmy Fallon a nomination for best guest actor on a comedy series. Last season, Justin Timberlake (won), Zach Galifianakis, and Tina Fey were nominated for that (I was disappointed that Jim Carrey wasn't, because he was so funny).

This year I'm predicting that Jimmy Fallon will be nominated. I'm also predicting that Melissa McCarthy will be nominated this year (for Guest Actress). Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Betty White, Zach Galifianakis, and Justin Timberlake all also have a shot if they host.

Anyway, Kristen has a small bit where she's studying the cue cards. At the end, she comes out to dance with the rest of the cast.

Andy was hilarious as he came out with Vanessa Bayer to have a Hanukkah verse with Jimmy!

Then watch carefully at 3:36 when Andy and Vanessa run by in the background behind Jimmy! They're getting ready for the end when all the cast comes out and dances!

The crowd went nuts! Jimmy really knows how to give the audience what they want.

Check out the dances of Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, and Taran Killam... those are hilarious! I'd also expect something killer from Kristen Wiig and Jason Sudeikis but they weren't as into it.

Enjoy!

These are some funny impressions in this skit!

There's not a lot of singing going on in Wiig's Swift impression. =^)

Abby's done Ke$ha once before. Gweneth Paltrow portrayed Swift once last season, so this is the second SNL Swift impression.

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig is Triangle Sally in Beethoven: Ode To Joy (SNL)

Ludwig van Beethoven takes a minute to thank the musicians who make his masterpieces possible.



This is Kristen's third appearance as Triangle Sally, and her second appearance this season! It's Sally's first appearance where she apparently went back in time... or something. =^)

Well it looks like they were having a lot of fun with this. Pretty much everyone is in this (except Jay Pharoah).

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig is Kathie Lee Gifford and Regis is back! (SNL)

Show - Today


Jimmy Fallon ... Regis Philbin
Vanessa Bayer ... Mindy Farmer
Steve Higgins ... announcer (voice)
Bobby Moynihan ... Mr. Farmer
Nasim Pedrad ... Hoda Kotb
Kristen Wiig ... Kathie Lee Gifford

It's a normal morning on "The Today Show" with Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford until Regis Philbin stops by.



Ha! So we haven't seen Kristen Wiig lead as many of these skits since after her encounter with the real Kathie Lee. But she pulls Kathie Lee back out in order to interact with Jimmy's spot-on Regis impression.

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig is Lilia in 1920s Holiday Party (SNL)

This is Kristen's second time doing this character, so add another repeat character to Kristen's arsenal. (Now up to 28!)

Sketch - Holiday Party


Jimmy Fallon ... Freggie
Fred Armisen ... guest
Abby Elliott ... guest
Bill Hader ... guest
Andy Samberg ... Maxwell
Kristen Wiig ... Lilia

Party hosts feel compelled to sing and dance holiday tunes despite the lack of requests.



Andy's Maxwell plays lovely songs as Lilia and Freggie don't sing and dance.

The first time Kristen did this Lilia character was on 01.30.2010 with Jon Hamm. Here's a pic:



So they're adding another layer to this sketch with Jimmy's Freggie character.

Enjoy!

Thousands of your favorite movie stars come together in the sequel to "New Year's Eve" in "The Apocalypse."



I think Abby Elliott also does a great Drew Barrymore.

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig is Gwen Stefani in Doggie Duty (SNL)

Commercial - Doggie Duty

Katy Perry ... Florence Welch
Fred Armisen ... Randy Newman
Bill Hader ... Clint Eastwood / Narrator
Andy Samberg ... Chris Barron
Jason Sudeikis ... Meat Loaf
Kristen Wiig ... Gwen Stefani

This Christmas, don't miss the adorable tale of twelve dogs selected for jury duty!



"Remember the Spindoctors?"

Kristen's funniest part, of course, is when she started mumbling as Gwen.

This is Kristen's second impression as Gwen on SNL. Molly Shannon also did Gwen once in 2000.

Personally I think Clint would have been funnier if he said nothing and just conducted the music.

Katy Perry blew it out of the house of course.

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig is Greta Van Susteren in the On the Record (SNL Cold Open)

Cold Opening - On The Record


Darrell Hammond ... Donald Trump
Bobby Moynihan ... Newt Gingrich
Andy Samberg ... Rick Santorum
Kristen Wiig ... Greta Van Susteren

Greta Van Susteren welcomes Donald Trump, with the two candidates he will be moderating in a debate, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich.



This is mostly a bit between Darrel Hammond's Donald and Kristen's Greta.

The audience likes Andy, but it would be great if he did impressions of a candidate that has a bigger role in these skits.

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig is Kalle

Show - Kalle

Katy Perry
Fred Armisen ... announcer (voice)
Paul Brittain ... teller
Kristen Wiig ... Kalle Jakra

Finnish talk show, Kalle, welcomes pop star Katy Perry, and they're armed with an arsenal of clips.



This is Kristen's first new character (in order of appearance on SNL this week). It's our second favorite starring role she did of the three this week (our first is Rebecca Larue, the professional flirter).

New character for Kristen! Do you like it?

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig is Rebecca Larue, Professional Flirter (SNL Weekend Update)

Kristen Wiig had three starring skits this week and a lot of supporting work, totaling 7 skits!

Her first starring skit was as Greta Van Susteren's On the Record (the SNL Cold Opening). This is her fourth time doing this impression. (Amy Poehler also did Greta once in 2002.)

Kristen's other two starring skits were new characters... Kalle Jakra (talk show host) and Rebecca Larue (on Weekend Update), a professional flirter.

I think Rebecca has the makings of a hit and repeat character for Kristen Wiig, so we're opening this week with Rebecca...

Weekend Update

Seth Meyers
Kristen Wiig ... Rebecca Larue
Alec Baldwin ... Captain Steve Rogers
Bill Hader ... Stefon

Flirting expert Rebecca Larue stops by to show Seth how single people can find a mate during the holidays.



It's amazing how Kristen keeps coming up with new characters every week!

There's also fantastic chemistry with Kristen and Seth.

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig is Martha Valentine on Dateline (SNL)

Show - Dateline

Steve Buscemi ... Diego Bops
Bill Hader ... Keith Morrison
Steve Higgins ... announcer (voice)
Taran Killam ... witness

Kristen Wiig ... Martha Valentine

Dateline's Keith Morrison gets a kick out of investigating a brutal murder in The Mystery of the Chopped Up Guy.



This is Bill Hader's fourth Dateline skit.

Kristen is on at 2:32.

Martha is "beautiful". =^)

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig is Sheila (SNL's Ornaments)

Sketch - Ornaments

Steve Buscemi ... Sheila
Steve Higgins ... announcer (voice)
Kristen Wiig ... Sheila

It's time to open up the ornaments and have Sheila decorate the Christmas tree.



Hmm. Lots of dry humor here. But they do a pretty good job. They always put the wacky/offbeat ones on as the last skit of the night.

New character for Kristen.

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig & Emma Stone cry to Adele's "Someone Like You"

Adele's Someone like you skit SNL S37E06 Emma Stone Coldplay



Sometimes you just need to cry!!!

This wasn't previously posted because it uses the song. Leave a comment when/if this video is removed. We'll then remove it from the post.

Obviously written by Nasim. Women find this hilarious. Do you? =^)

Enjoy!

Kristen Wiig is Sue - Work Surprise (SNL)

Sketch - Surprise

Steve Buscemi ... Arnie
Paul Brittain ... employee
Abby Elliott ... employee

Kristen Wiig ... Sue

When Playskool workers gather to surprise a coworker with a promotion, Sue has a hard time handling the moment.



This is Kristen's fourth skit with the character. Her first was on 04.05.2008.

It's interesting to see Kristen taking this character in wacky new directions. Did you like it?

Enjoy!
