  • She is one of the ONLY people on snl in the past 20 years who really got the spirit of the show down. Where she did her bits without obnoxiously breaking the fourth wall to force all the viewers to know it was a joke. She was just consistently hilarious and such a great actress. You could rarely ever tell she was reading from cue cards. She set the bar that I wish others had tried to raise.
  • @GaiaCarney
    Kristen’s character in ‘Bridesmaids’ juggling the pink lemonade while driving “mm, that is fresh “ 😅
  • @bakerboycat
    During the pandemic, I would watch a playlist of Kristen's sketches on SNL on over and over and it really helped me go through what I was going through that time. She's such a joy to watch. She's having fun but boy, is she serious about having fun.
  • @ifandwhen-kl2cr
    Crazy how overlooked the “ just kidding” lady is in discussions of Wiig characters!
  • @NHT2
    Conan is always respectful to guests, but I absolutely love when he interviews someone he considers a true colleague. He drops a lot of the absolutely silly behaviors, he listens, he is present. Thank you everyone for this amazing pod cast!
  • @lance134679
    The Kristen Wiig era of SNL was really good. 👍
  • @lazaromurad322
    ¨I love how quiet-small your comedy can be¨ I think he means her subtlety with her work and he's right!
  • @rk1356
    What I love most about Kristen Wiig is her sense of humor matches her incredible high level of intelligence. It’s so rare to find a brilliantly funny person. But she’s so funny and so good at what she does because she’s so damn smart. It’s like she could easily have a phd in comedy.
  • @Teelirious
    I have watched Liza try to turn that lamp off 10,000 times.
  • @miicrawford
    Aunt Linda is so freaking HILARIOUS and the fact that she’s based off of a real person makes it even more funny🤣
  • @stanperl2003
    Her character Karina on the Californians always got me. "Stew-ahht. Wha are you home so awrly?"
  • @jasonmurdoc9533
    ⁠​⁠I’ve seen a lot of Conan interviews I truly believe he’s super excited here (even has a little crush on her) and Kristin is a little quiet in person, so it seems like he’s dominating the conversation when he’s just super excited. . He really is a great interviewer. Felt this needed to be said.
  • @queenies805
    Kristen Wiig as Ann Margaret was so spot on, one of the funniest things I've seen her do, she is fantastic!
  • @Stitchlii
    I have a major crush on Kristen and always have.
  • @timlatour
    It only happened once, but her character “Christie Berkie” with Cecily on “QVC” is one of my all time favorites. It was when she came back to host. It kills me every time
  • Kristen & Fred Armison As Garth & Kat Will Always Be My Favorite Sketches!
  • @jopo7996
    At SNL Kristen was like a kid in a candy store.
  • @TheMattsterling
    Kristen Wiig is a stunning and hilarious national treasure. It makes me so happy to know how much she loves Aunt Linda (my favorite character). Coney is a success case study for children with ADD:)
  • @calledout4437
    Kristen Wiig is so funny, it's even funnier to see how calm and serious she actually is in real life.
