    Over rated and not even funny… please just go away Kristin

  • Justin Hinnant

    recast everyone on snl

    I have to laugh at the idea of Kristen Wiig joining WU being in any way a good thing. Like she’s not overused enough as is. The thing is, she can actually be funny when she’s more subtle, yet every character she plays is a variation on every other over-the-top character she plays in about seven sketches every week. The exception is Gilliem who sucks despite being mellow.

    The only good Update team anchors were Jane Curtin and Dan Aykroyd. It’s much better to keep it solo; Seth is fine when he’s not paired with the insufferable Amy Poehler.

    I used to be okay with Kristin Wiig, but now I feel like she is in EVERY SNL skit amd it is annoying, quite honestly. I am overjoyed that she won’t be doing Weekend Update because I wouldn’t be able to stand watching her for 15 minutes.. That said, some of her characters are genius. She should just stick with them.

    Personally,
    I think Wiig is great. One of my favorites.
    Booting Watkins was a huge mistake. She barely got anytime to show us what she can do! Not even a whole year! Come on, Lourne!
    I, too, find Seth a little boring.
    And am I the only who is tired of all the political satire?? I dont care who they are making fun of, even though its always the conservatives, but come on! It’s the same thing over and over again. You guys think Wiig plays the same people everytime? How about the whole show is the same thing?! I can never stand watching any of their politic stuff anymore. Seth, give us new and funny sketches.

  • Holly

    Good! I agree that Kristen is already too overused on the show. They should keep Seth solo in my opinion.

  • Dorian

    WAIT a second here….SNL still airs? WHAT? My lord, thought that junker went off air years ago.

  • Mister F

    Thank god Kristin Wiig is not doing Weekend Update. I mean come on, she practically does EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE SHOW besides being the musical guest! Plus, it would give an excuse for her to do her character Judy again.

    And I don’t know where all this Michaela love is coming from. She was barely even used, like newbie Abigail.

  • Sheryl

    I adore Seth (call me!) and he can certainly man the Weekend Update desk alone. (Really…call me!)Kristen Wiig plays a great character and I think is better elsewhere in the show.

    Ashame that Watkins won’t return (Wilson was ‘okay’) – but I surely won’t miss ‘Bitch PlEEEEEZE!’ girl.

  • Rob

    Thank-God! I am not a fan at all. And people talk about how good looking she is….really? With all of the women in hollywood, you think Kristin Wiig is good looking? She is a hag with a nose job and botox face. I wonder how she is going to feel now that she is the old lady on snl.
