Kristen Wiig is Doing The Most

Kristen Wiig is killing the game right now.  I mean besides Bridesmaids, which she co-wrote and starred in, she's one of the most consistently funny people in Hollywood.   Her versatility is amazing, she can play neurotic, she can play straight, she can play silly, and she can do it all in a span of 90 minutes.  Kristen Wiig is literally doing the most.  And I wanted to take some time out to to give Kristen some blog shine, because it's easy to be one of those people doin too much. *cough* Skip Bayless *cough*  btw, I am convinced that Tim Tebow will be Skip Bayless' waterloo.


But back to Kristen, she carries the show.  You should watch the gem above for an example of her genius.  A lot of SNL isn't funny, in fact, a lot of time's it's painful to watch their horrible sketches.  (Fortunately I don't have to deal with that anymore thanks to my DVR)  But even when the material is weak, Kristen adds a funny face, or a quirky voice, and it works.  It's eerily reminiscent of the immensely talented Amy Poehler's last two seasons on SNL when she carried the show in a Post Fey and Tracy Morgan era.  Which makes me think Wiig, much like Poehler will bolt for another vehicle to display her many talents.  I don't see her sticking around past this season, and when she does bolt SNL may be in a world of trouble.  Or it could be next woman up.  Who knows, but props to Kristen, and good for her being named one of Time magazine's "People Who Mattered."  She's earned it.

*Quick note:  If you're unfamiliar with the genius of Amy Poehler then you should buy this DVD or add it to your nextflix queue.  It's worth every penny.
