New SNL players - Let’s here it for the chicks
Ok, since Amy Poehler has left Saturday Night Lived to raise the new Jesus of comedy, that is the offspring of she and husband Will Arnett, we’re wondering who the newbies will be. That question will be answered this weekend when improv troupe The Groundlings offers up some of it’s mainstays on this week’s SNL - Groundlings Abby Elliott and Michaela Watkins. Neither are well know in by mainstream audiences but Elliott is the recipient of an SNL familial legacy, being the daughter of former cast member Chris Elliott.
The two were recruited after a months long recruiting process and will hopefully help fill in the funny gap left by Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph’s departures.
The new blood bodes well for the show, which is experiencing a resurgence in ratings thanks to the U.S. presidential election. Let’s hope that the new additions can keep the show going strong well into its 34th season.
Check out some of Michaela’s work below.
