The Box's Crushes of the Week: Saturday Night New Girls

TV post by Juliana Tringali on February 20, 2009 - 5:32pm; tagged Abby Elliott, Angelina Jolie, Ann Coulter, comedy, Kristen Wiig, Lawrence Welk Show, Michaela Watkins, Saturday Night Live.

Watkins and Elliott look so happy in PhotoShop

Maybe I over-post about Saturday Night Live, but I just can't help myself. This season is one of the best ever! Plus, I’m thrilled with the screen time that female cast members are getting. The newest lady cast members, Michaela Watkins and Abby Elliott, are especially crushable. They were presumably brought on at the end of last year to fill the feminine gap left by Amy Poehler’s departure, and they haven’t disappointed. Both have held their own in ensemble sketches and come up with some hilarious recurring roles too.
