It should be abundantly clear that I’m an unmerited fan (some may say) of Abby Elliott (since she hasn’t done that much on SNL… though enough for UCB). This is her best impersonation yet (IMHO). It’s also one of the few funny things that happened on Steve Martin’s latest stint as host:

Today, I will apologize for the slew of drunk Uncle Sean posts over the last week and a half, as they were part of my cover.
I was on a voyage traversing the um, er, one sea and (edge of) one ocean, and after arriving home early yesterday morning, only now am I able to catch up on some of the great things on the TripleDoubleU.
Firstoff, I set out to view some of NPH’s skits on SNL this weekend. It was hit or miss, from what I saw. But as a self-proclaimed pre-emptive Abby Elliott fan, I was proud to see her get the spotlight in the cold-open, where she portrayed Rachel Maddow
My pal, Chris, thought she sucked. I thought she was great at getting the details (her voice could have been a little bit lower). Here’s the skit and a bit from Maddow’s MSNBC show. What do you think?

Since she was not prominently featured yet again on last weekend’s episode of “Saturday Night Live,” here’s Abby Elliott doing another skit for the Upright Citizens Brigade Midnight Show. Enjoy!
Here’s the new cast member voted most likely to replace Tina Fey – Michaela Watkins. Enjoy as well!
Since the video on my other post about Abby Elliott got pulled, here’s a new one. It’s from the Upright Citizens Brigade Midnight Show (that’s the YouTube channel it’s from, ‘natch), and it also stars Steve Agee (from “The Sarah Silverman Program”) and Jeff Sloniker. It’s safe!
I’m nursing a bit of a ‘gover right now (y’know… shorthand for hangover), so I’m going to roll these out as best as I can.
First order up – Chris Elliott has a daughter, Abby. Now it’s not weird that this guy has daughter:
And it’s not weird that I’m very attracted to her (her impersonation of Kirsten Dunst):
What is weird is there is a family resemblance… Maybe that explains why I’ve been dreaming about Chris Elliott for all these years…
Anywhopper, the point of this post is that Abby is joining the cast of Saturday Night Live, as well as Michaela Watkins. If any of Chris Elliott’s knack for oddball comedy has rubbed off on her (wait, that sounds gross), then SNL will be that much better for having her (and much easier on the eyes… goodbye crush on Kristen Wiig!)
The only good thing to come out of five “Scary Movies”:
