Kristen Carroll Wiig (born August 22, 1973) is an American actress, comedian, and impressionist, whose most visible work is as a cast member of Saturday Night Live (SNL). She is a member of The Groundlings, and also appeared in the first season of Spike TV's The Joe Schmo Show.
Wiig debuted after the start of SNL's 31st season on November 12, 2005. In Wiig's first sketch, she played the wife of Jason Sudeikis; the two accidentally pick up an escaped murderer (Jason Lee), unwittingly giving the murderer carte blanche to break into their home and violate their blind niece.
Wiig survived an SNL budget cut, becoming a full member of the repertory cast at the beginning of the show's 32nd season.
