Kristen Wiig quickly made her mark on "SNL" with memorable characters such as the excitable Target Clerk, one-half of the condescending and clueless duo "The A-holes," alongside fellow cast member Jason Sudeikis, and the hilarious one-upper "Penelope." Kristen Wiig has also created "Weekend Update" culture correspondent, the endlessly irritated Aunt Linda, and contributed notable impressions of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Suze Orman, Drew Barrymore, Megan Mullally, Jaime Lee Curtis as well as Judy Garland and Katherine Hepburn. According to the New York Post, "Kristen Wiig has become a household name on 'SNL' by playing outrageous versions of people we've all had the misfortune to encounter."
A native of Rochester, New York, Kristen Wiig comes to "SNL" from the Los Angeles-based improv/sketch comedy troupe "The Groundlings" where castmates Will Forte, Maya Rudolph as well as such distinguished alums as Will Ferrell, Laraine Newman, Phil Hartman and Jon Lovitz began their careers.
On the big screen, Kristen Wiig garnered praise for "stealing every scene" (New York Magazine) in Judd Apatow's hit comedy "Knocked Up" and also starred opposite Will Arnett and castmate Will Forte in "The Brothers Solomon." Kristen Wiig's other features include "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" with John C. Reilly and "Semi Pro" with Will Ferrell. Kristen Wiig's upcoming feature films include "Adventureland" opposite Ryan Reynolds and "SNL" castmate Bill Hader, as well as "Ghost Town" starring Ricky Gervais and Greg Kinnear, the indie drama "Pretty Bird" with Paul Giamatti and Billy Crudup, the period mystery "All Good Things" with Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst, and Drew Barrymore's directorial debut "Whip It!," set in the world of a Texas roller derby.
