Kristen Wiig
Kristen Wiig (born 1973 in Rochester, New York) is an American actress and comedian. She has been a featured player on Saturday Night Live since her debut on November 12, 2005.
Like many other SNL cast members past and present, Wiig is a veteran of the Groundlings. Wiig also appeared in the first season of Spike TV's The Joe Schmo Show, where she played the role of marriage counselor "Dr. Pat"; although the show was fake, Wiig did have to go to the emergency room when she was injured while wrestling Matt Kennedy Gould, the only person on the show who thought it was real.
In Wiig's first skit on SNL, she plays the wife of Jason Sudeikis and they accidentally pick up a murderer (Jason Lee), giving him carte blanche on how to break into their home. Since then, Wiig has taken a recurring role as a Target employee who can never stay focused. She appeared in the "Two A-Holes..." sketches where she and her husband, played by Jason Sudeikis, go to various places (so far a Christmas tree lot, a travel agency, and a crime scene) and live up to their label. She has also performed well-received impressions of Megan Mullally (actually closer to Mullally's Will & Grace character, Karen Walker), Judy Garland, Drew Barrymore, Felicity Huffman, Jane Pauley, and Katharine Hepburn.
Wiig is from Brighton, New York and graduated from Brighton High School in 1991.
