Ten Reasons Why I Love Kristen Wiig

Kristen Wiig is one of my favorites. So, here are ten reasons why.



1. She began, like so many great comic actors today, at the Groundlings.


2. She appeared as Dr. Pat, the marriage counselor with multiple marriages, on THE JOE SCHMO SHOW. One of the funniest reality shows ever (no Youtube video).



3. The Target lady.


4. The inappropriate newly divorced reporter (no Youtube video).



5. Penelope.



6. Her KNOCKED UP character. (Can't find it online, sooooooo how about another Penelope video)



7. Her Nancy Pelosi.



8. With Alec Baldwin, she was part of the Bobby McFerrin car sketch (no Youtube video).



9. She appeared in not only the “**** in a box” digital short, but the “Dear Sister” short as well.



10. And, my favorite, as one of the “Two A-Holes”
