Weekend Update travel writer Judy Grimes (Kristen Wiig) has a lot to say but she is nervous. Just kidding, she’s really nervous. This has to be Wiig’s most impressive Update character based purely on her mouth gymnastics. She speedily delivers her lines and constantly interjects “just kidding” while remaining painfully stiff. If you’d like travel t...
Welcome to Target! She’s on the clock and she’s ready to rock, it’s the one and only Target Lady! For Target Lady, Target isn’t just a popular retail chain, but rather a magical wonderland where items are purchased and dreams come true. Her voice may sound like it’s covered in egg, and her hair like an upside-down bowl of pudding, but Target Lady i...
Gilly is...how to describe her. She’s a tall, colorful, bushy-haired school girl who always gets into trouble. When she’s not dancing around to her theme song, she’s likely saying “sorry” for disrupting the class and hurling something at her teacher (Will Forte). Wiig said that she and longtime SNL writerPaula Pellaccidentally came up with the char...
There’s surely no pleasing Aunt Linda (Kristen Wiig), a cranky, bewildered movie reviewer who has had it! Despite seeming very unhappy with nearly every movie she watches, she continues to persevere through some of the most popular titles to see what all the fuss is about. Spoiler alert: She is not a fan of CGI or anything that seems to strike a ch...
In addition to crafting such unique characters, Wiig is also a master at impressions. She hilariously imitated Paula Deen, Liza Minnelli trying to turn off a lamp,Ann Margaret trying to throw away a piece of paper, and Jamie Lee Curtis on Activia commercials. There’s some impressions she’s done so many times that they become their own characters. O...
After a brief leave of absence, Michelle Dison (Kristen Wiig) is back for a brand new edition of her local news segment “Around the Town.” But, it doesn’t seem like Michelle is emotionally ready to return to work just yet. While she is supposed to focus on the interviewee and the story at hand, she cannot help but get distracted by the subject’s be...
Surprises can be a fun way for people to celebrate an important occasion and celebrate with the ones they love. But, as a warning, you might not want to invite Sue to your next surprise party. She means well and will be your biggest cheerleader, but she cannot keep a secret to save her life. For someone who gets invited to a lot of surprise parties...
Beware, Penelope will one-up you with anything you say or do. Anything. She’s a hair-twirling fiend who may seem shy but isn’t afraid to make herself the star of a wedding, soup kitchen, or even therapy. You have M&Ms? She has “M&M&Ms.” Ever have a panic attack? Well she has “panic-anic attacks.” Did you get a speeding ticket? Penelope has too...fo...
For someone with such tiny hands, Dooneese is pretty handsy! This has to be Wiig’s strangest character, which is kind of saying a lot. Dooneese appears in The Lawrence Welk Show parodies (though she did steal the spotlight in a sketch about The Sound of Music) and stands out for being an oddity among the other women of the Finger Lakes. In addition...
Suze Orman is another real-life person that Wiig’s imitated on several occasions, making her take on the acclaimed host a character in and of itself. Wiig is parodying Orman’s long-running CNBC show, The Suze Orman Show, in which she would give her viewers all the tips and tricks they’d need for financial success and security. Orman has an easily-i...

- Judy Grimes. Just kidding just kidding just kidding... Judy Grimes is essentially the precursor to Dawn Lazarus. She's a reporter who is absolutely terrified to be on TV.
- Gilly. Her name is Gilly and she's at it again, causin' lots of ruckus like a barn yarn hen. Gilly is an iconic character, and her skits make absolutely no sense.
- Kathie Lee Gifford. Kristen Wiig's impression of Kathie Lee Gifford is truly one for the ages. Even if you've never watched a single episode of The Today Show, Wiig's impression of the host is absolutely hilarious, and a joy to watch.
- Dooneese. And she's Dooneese! A recurring character on The Lawrence Welk Show, Dooneese is in a quartet of beautiful singing sisters, save for Dooneese herself.
Here are some of Kristen Wiig's hysterical characters she embodied during her run on SNL. Her hilarious clips as Penelope, Shana, Kathie Lee Gifford, and so many others proved there were...
