Kristen Wiig is arguably SNL’s new Will Ferrell: an “everywoman” with enough versatility to effortlessly turn nuanced characters into fan favorites. Here are ten examples of Kristen at her finest.
Celebrity Buzz Mark Wahlberg is not a fan of the recent SNL sketch, in which Andy Samberg - as Wahlberg - emotes to barnyard animals. Wahlberg bemoaned the show’s having “not been funny for a long time,” especially in comparison to the days of “Eddie Murphy…and Joe Piscopo and Bill Murray.” Hey Mark, if you like Piscopo so much, why don’t you hire him for your next bar mitzvah?
TV Buzz HBO is hoping to do with British import Little Britain what it did with New Zealand’s Flight of the Conchords: make the weird, niche-y smash in its native homeland a stateside success. You know a character-driven sketch show is on HBO when it includes two ‘roid-happy, totally-not-gay gym buddies with eensy weensy pencil d*cks.
The Apple Sisters, a 1940’s-era musical sketch group based in New York, love them some corn! (Because it tastes like candy!)
Culture Buzz Their sketch show on the BBC, That Mitchell And Webb Look, have earned them hardcore fans on both sides of the pond. Monty Python has found a welcome replacement in the cleverly absurd blokes who, incidentally, also star in the UK version of the Mac-vs.-PC ads. Bloody brilliant! (Also be sure to check out Peep Show, another Mitchell and Webb show we highly recommend.)
Culture Buzz The Kids in the Hall reunited for a nationwide tour beginning April 17th, featuring all new material. Here’s a reunion that we can actually get behind. Well, besides the NKOTB one, of course. It keeps getting easier and easier to relive our teenager years.
