When Amy Poehler leftSNLin December of 08, Kristen Wiig suddenly became the shows only full-fledged female cast member.
But which one of these funny girls has what it takes to fill Wiigs formidable heels?
What Elliott doesnt have is a single memorable original character.
If she can introduce one next season, though, shed be a strong contender for Wiigs throne.
But since Slate left the show, Pedrad has stood out much more.
(Being ethnic means Pedrad has played everyone from Nicki Minaj to Charlyne Yi to Princess Jasmine.
The weird implications of this are a question for another time.)
This versatility, plus Pedrads great timing, could easily put her next in line for Wiigs spotlight.
Vanessa Bayer
Judging purely by screen time, this ImprovOlympic alum might be the next Wiig.
Itll take more than wide eyes and enthusiasm to get Bayer up to Wiigs level.
Kate McKinnon
SNLs newest cast member is a bit of a wild card.
But thanks to herold job, shes an experienced sketch comedian.
Heres to 42 years of funny business
