Chris Elliott’s Daughter Joins Cast Of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE!!

Not sure how Chris Elliott spawned her by Maxer	Nov 12th, 2008 11:57:28 PM
She's not as ugly as sin. I'm confused. Just hope she's as funny as him.
Second? Not bad for me. by kabong	Nov 13th, 2008 12:03:14 AM
Oh, yeah, a post: That should have been Jaden Smith's job.
So she's attractive? by iamnicksaicnsn	Nov 13th, 2008 12:04:18 AM
Holy crap!
don't have a a subject by Bloo	Nov 13th, 2008 12:05:55 AM
but I'm curious is Second City still producing any SNLers or are they just picking up UCB and Groundlings and random comedians
awesome by Friendo	Nov 13th, 2008 12:16:43 AM
she's looking good in them comedy genes
Chris Elliot's spunk produced that!?!?! by moviemenace	Nov 13th, 2008 12:25:05 AM
I think her mom is keeping a really big secret.
genetics is a strange thing, take a look at this: by BadMrWonka	Nov 13th, 2008 12:28:18 AM

cast still needs more diversity by zooch	Nov 13th, 2008 12:41:51 AM

uhhh, she looks like that other new SNL chick by Friendo	Nov 13th, 2008 12:44:37 AM
the one that isn't funny
Mmm I don't know man.. by Ironthorman	Nov 13th, 2008 12:57:08 AM

Hot female comedians usually suck.. by Ironthorman	Nov 13th, 2008 12:57:41 AM

Bloo by the podosphere	Nov 13th, 2008 02:04:22 AM
In LA, Second City and IO are about two blocks from each other, and UCB is five minutes away on Franklin next to the Pig (a coffeehouse). Lots of improvers float back and forth between the three locations, sometimes on the same night. Some students from those schools also float over to the Groundlings, Bang, Westside Eclectic....
in light of recent events by mrgreentheplant	Nov 13th, 2008 02:11:53 AM
perhaps they should hire one of those "black" people i've been hearing about lately to portray the president. and no, part-asian does not count as black.
wasn't Paul Reubens a Groundling? by TRON	Nov 13th, 2008 03:01:16 AM

I didn't know Chris could reproduce. by mrfan	Nov 13th, 2008 06:12:55 AM
Naw, just kidding. Hope she does well.
Tron re:Reubens by Bloo	Nov 13th, 2008 06:14:39 AM
first of all thanks to the podosphere for the information on the LA improv scene, I wasn't sure how that all worked. Tron, Reubans was a Groundling but there has been a lot of controversy about his tenure there, when he hit it big with Pee Wee, he made big promises to his Groundling friends that he didn't follow up on, as well as some accusations that he had quite a bit of help in creating Pee Wee from other groundlings (namely Hartman who wrote the first film with Reubens). I'm not sure how much is true or even if I got all the facts right, but there is some bad blood between them. I'm assuming that's why he wasn't mentioned, either that or Herc was just mentioning SNL Groundling alums
She must look like her mother by The Bunglermoose	Nov 13th, 2008 08:09:05 AM
...wow.
chris elliot has a daughter? by LegoKenobi	Nov 13th, 2008 08:19:11 AM
and she's old enough to be an SNL cast member? jesus, i'm OLD.
Paul Reubens @ The Groundlings by Forrest75	Nov 13th, 2008 08:26:16 AM
I saw a show about 6 years ago at the Groundlings where Reubens was a special guest and he was outstanding. I'm guessing any bad blood has since been washed away. I'm always wary of new "SNL" castmembers, they either have to prove themselves or get fired fast to win my love.
Someone reproduced with Chris Elliott ? by Squashua	Nov 13th, 2008 08:45:21 AM
I've been told I look like Chris Elliott when I have all my facial hair in.
Wonder what Chris feels about that by Freakemovie	Nov 13th, 2008 08:52:11 AM
Anybody else read Live from New York? Chris Elliot and Janeane Garofalo bashed the hell out of SNL in it. Wonder what he thinks about his daughter signing on (and I wonder how amused/apprehensive Lorne Michaels is about it).
So King Of The Hill had all three generations by skimn	Nov 13th, 2008 08:56:18 AM
of the Elliot family do voice work? Shows you their casting smarts. Oh please, oh please, Will Farrell do a one-shot this weekend, so you and Rudd can reprise your Anchorman characters..please?
With Mad TV being canned..about time.. by skimn	Nov 13th, 2008 08:59:18 AM
SNL should take a page from their book and hire a more diverse cast.
Checked her photo on IMDB. by Mosquito March	Nov 13th, 2008 09:06:47 AM
She's actually pretty cute.
Of course they haven't tapped Second City alumni in a while... by EriamJH	Nov 13th, 2008 09:43:20 AM
... haven't you seen how unfunny they are without them? SCTV, BABY!!!
So have they tapped someone to cohost Weekend Update? by skimn	Nov 13th, 2008 09:51:42 AM
Myers looks very lonely by himself. Hire his brother to freak people out.
How old is Chris Elliot? by HoboCode	Nov 13th, 2008 10:08:55 AM
He has a twenty-somethign daughter?! God. I'M fucking old.
Dude's gotta be in his mid-forties at least. by skimn	Nov 13th, 2008 10:58:59 AM
His glory days on Letterman, and his cameos in Abyss and Manhunter were 20 years ago.. God, now I feel old.
Abby is fierce! by Rib Eye	Nov 13th, 2008 11:11:41 AM

Michaela Watkins by I am the most horrible	Nov 13th, 2008 11:53:31 AM
Yeah! Portland's own! In addition to her numerous television credits yadda yadda she was in Brainwaves Improv Comedy...the same group as me! I've worked with her several times in different capacities. She's funny, easy on the eyes AND kinda crazy. Bonus. Nice going Mickey!
Just as long as this doesn't lead to "Cabin Girl" by Tar Heel	Nov 13th, 2008 12:16:11 PM
Will she do her parts from under the seats? "I'll be watching youuuuuu..."
Wow she is funny... by Mr. Profit	Nov 13th, 2008 12:37:25 PM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =kgLCoW7YUGA / That is a huge shock. I thought she would be as bad as the chick who played Katy Perry. Who is awful. The other new chick is funny too. / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =c-xKETBhm5s
I hope she is as good as her father was on SNL by TVguy4566	Nov 13th, 2008 02:14:51 PM
Remember Chris Elliot's spectacular year as an SNL regular in 1994? Some of his bits are classics like.... and... ummmmm..... and let's not forget...... Basically, if she appears in one sketch in a skimpy outfit, her SNL tenure will be far more memorable than her father's. On a side note, that 1994 cast was a whole host of misued talent that included Elliot, Jay Mohr, Laura Kightlinger, Janeane Garrafalo, Michael McKeon, and Mark McKinney.
If she's even just HALF as good as her father... by Cletus Van Damme	Nov 13th, 2008 02:26:55 PM
...then she'll be, uh...what's zero divided by 2?
Chris Elliot - Comedy Great?!? by Pissed Off And Bitter	Nov 13th, 2008 04:30:26 PM
That's news to me and it ain't cool.
kirsten dunst by Dradis Contact	Nov 13th, 2008 05:03:47 PM
That was a really good impression of Kirsten Dunst. She doesn't look like Dunst at all, but the voice and mannerisms really sold it for me.
SNL. Is that show still on? by rben	Nov 13th, 2008 05:26:16 PM
ba-da-bing! thank you ladies and germs. tip your waitresses. i'll be here all week!
I dunno how feel about jerking off to Chris Elliot's daughter... by JimCurry	Nov 14th, 2008 12:02:10 AM
but I'm gonna do it anyway...
The election is over and all is back to norm... by thegreatwhatzit	Nov 14th, 2008 12:52:40 AM
SNL is variable (mediocre/terrible)...30 ROCK registers zip on the Nielson scale (less than 8 million viewers, 3rd or 4th in its time slot). Chris Elliot's daughter evokes her Dad; equally variable.
I am hoping for a Conspiracy Girl skit. by Leafar the Lost	Nov 14th, 2008 06:06:31 PM
My favorite bit that Chris Elliot did on David Letterman was Conspiracy Guy. "You know who I am," he would tell a clueless Letterman. Then he would go into a crazy rant, and he would be taken away by two men in sun glasses. Elliot was once very funny, but he lost his comedic edge years ago. I don't plan on watching SNL again anytime soon.
sooo... Mad TV by yubnubrocks	Nov 15th, 2008 08:27:48 PM
is gone.... and SNL continues. Ah well. A few funny skits, inconsistent music acts... nothing else on Saturday at 11:30. Bring back McCloud!!!!!
redfist... by yubnubrocks	Nov 15th, 2008 08:29:57 PM
I just laughed out loud at that. GOOD SHIT! hahahaha
I love the White People Comedy Show! by drturing	Nov 16th, 2008 12:29:43 AM
SNL! SNL! Lemme guess, an opening involving politics, an unimaginative ad involving sexual inneundo, andy samberg doing something ironic involving pseudo homoeroticism, and Kristen Wiig doing something genius the show doesn't deserve. Oh yeah and Fred Armisen showing up in every sketch generating negative laughs. Love it!
herc, by Timahh	Nov 16th, 2008 10:29:30 AM
clearly people need the snl talkback near the top on saturdays.
WHITE PEOPLE COMEDY SHOW by SnapT	Nov 16th, 2008 01:17:38 PM
YES. That's what the primetime spin-off should be called.
So... anybody still reading this? by BizarroJerry	Nov 17th, 2008 12:18:40 PM
As far as I can tell, these new ladies didn't appear, save for Elliot showing up to just pop in and say "action" or something. Did I miss anything else?
Yeah and yeah by I am the most horrible	Nov 17th, 2008 05:15:16 PM
Michaela Watkins was the old lady who slit her own throat in the short. She might also have been "passerby #3" in a later sketch. They both appeared at curtain call, which would have been tough to spot if some of the cast hadn't been literally pointing them out.
