Kristen Wiig Q&A with Vanity Fair

Kristen Wiig Q&A with Vanity Fair!


Sample answer where Kristen discusses Will Forte -

So you’re claiming that he exaggerated the extent of his public nudity?

Well, he was definitely nude. And don’t let him kid you, he’s like that on Saturday Night Live too. It could be the middle of winter in New York, it doesn’t matter. He’ll be naked. (Laughs.) He’s one of the most free-spirited, wonderfully joyful people I’ve ever met in my life. And I think that really comes across, even when he’s playing an asshole like MacGruber. He’s a lovable asshole.

MacGruber Released Today!

Yes, the day has finally arrived. MacGruber hits theatres today! Do your funny bone a solid and go see it! And after you see it, tell me what you thought of it in the comments! Anybody who saw an advanced screening - leave a comment too!

I'm going to have to wait for a copy to show up online. Oh, the inconvenience of living in Ireland. Anyhows, enjoy it! By all accounts, it's all kinds of funny!

News from NBC Upfronts

 ”Saturday Night Live” will go primetime in a big way in the fall.
The show is marking its 35th anniversary this year, and NBC will celebrate with a three-hour prime-time special during the fall. No date is set; the 35th anniversary of “SNL’s” very first show is Oct. 11, which is a Monday.
NBC aired an “SNL” 25th anniversary special in 1999 that featured a wealth of clips, appearances by former cast members and hosts and a star-studded audience.


Well, this is very exciting indeed. Anything that brings back favourite hosts (Justin Timberlake, Jon Hamm anyone?) and old cast members is a win in my book.
