Abby Elliott has come a long way since her "Saturday Night Live" days. Since leaving the sketch comedy series in 2012, Abby has landed the sitcoms "Odd Mom Out" and "Indebted," as well as films like "Sex Ed" and "Better Off Single." Currently, she stars in the award-winning series "The Bear." In the show, Abby plays Natalie "Sugar" Berzatto, who is the coowner of The Beef restaurant. "It's really exciting to be a part of something that has touched so many people," Abby said about her involvement on the show during an August 2022 episode of "The Last Laugh" podcast. "[It's the first time I've been a] part of a project that people have really responded to in this sort of way."
Abby's success as an actor isn't surprising since she comes from a family of entertainers. Her father is comedian Chris Elliott, while her mother is actor and talent coordinator Paula Niedert Elliott. Abby is also the granddaughter of radio personality Bob Elliott,...

Here's a TV curio that deserves a second look. Back before Bob Odenkirk became Saul Goodman, before Charlie Kaufman became an Oscar-winning writer/director, and before David Mirkin became showrunner over at "The Simpsons," they all worked together on a little-known show that, honestly, shouldn't have ever made it to air.
"Get A Life" was a short-lived satirical take on the sitcom format starring Chris Elliott as Chris Peterson — a 30-year-old paper boy who still lived with his parents, Gladys and Fred Peterson. The show appeared on Fox and ran from 1990 to 1992 before it was unceremoniously axed by the network. And even though there's a chance you've probably never heard of it, "Get A Life" had a small but significant cult following that persists to this day — mostly due to its often surreal and absurdist humor that made it unlike any other network show at the time. As the Washington Post put it,...

On the short list of post- classic-era comedies I can see over and over again is this beautifully executed Bill Murray crime comedy, which he co-directed. The fact that its basically silly main joke is whining about New York City doesn’t keep it from being hilarious from one end to the other. When it comes time for a getaway to the airport, Manhattan might as well be an impenetrable maze, an island of doom. Geena Davis and Randy Quaid give excellent comedy support, while Jason Robards holds up the police dragnet end of the story. The disc has no special extras but Murray’s movie is as satisfying as ever.

Norman Lear’s Cold Turkey is preferred by 4 out of 5 doctors, and the other doctor is a fool that doesn’t smoke cigarettes. Lear’s triple-threat writing, producing and directing effort is by no means a lazy comedy, with its twenty featured actors dashing around like asylum inmates for ninety minutes. It’s not the show to help one kick the habit, that’s for sure — even though it makes smoking look appropriately disgusting.

The Elliott family is now three generations deep into comedy. It began with Bob Elliott, half of the comedy duo Bob and Ray. His son Chris Elliott went into comedy on Late Night with David Letterman, his own sitcom Get a Life (costarring Bob) and movies like Groundhog Day and There’s Something About Mary. Now his daughters, Abby and Bridey Elliott, are working actors. Abby was a Saturday Night Live cast member and now appears on Odd Mom Out. Bridey acts in indie movies and series too (Fort Tilden won SXSW) and she directed the whole family in Clara’s Ghost,...read more...

I have never laughed harder than I did on the night of June 2, 1984, and I doubt I ever will. I don't recall exactly how it happened in those pre-internet days, but in the previous couple of years I had stumbled upon some tapes of the comedy team Bob and Ray. What I am sure of is that I'd never heard anything like them: Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding were so deadpan that you weren't even quite sure that they were joking. There was no straight-man-and-punch-line-guy split; they were both playing it dead straight, a couple of guys in suits. Often, the sketches involved one interviewing the other — Wally Ballou, Bob's dopey-journalist character, appeared regularly, always missing his entry cue by a half-second — and most often the subject of the interview would turn out to be spectacularly clueless. Once in a while, a character would have a...

Santa Monica — Michael Keaton is having the time of his life. Cruising along an awards circuit that has brought him plenty of kudos for his performance in Alejandro González Iñárritu's "Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)" and probably more opportunities to talk about himself than he'd prefer, he seems consistently high on life and not at all phased by the grind. He's not someone who has really sought out this kind of attention and acclaim, often retreating to his ranch in Montana away from the Hollywood fray, but now that he's feeling the love? Let's just say I doubt anyone's having as much fun with all of this than he is. On the eve of this year's Oscar nominations announcement, I met Keaton for coffee and a light lunch at one of his favorite Santa Monica spots to chew on as much of his career and the awards...

Usually I write about film-related subjects, but I just spent a happy weekend devouring David Pollock’s biography Bob and Ray: Keener Than Most Persons (Applause Books) and feel impelled to spread the word about this wonderful and exceptionally well-written book. An Emmy Award-winning comedy writer (with his longtime partner Elias Davis), Pollock clearly spent a great deal of time preparing this thorough and empathetic volume, which not only charts the durable careers of Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding but paints a vivid picture of the broadcasting world in which they thrived—first in Boston, then in New York, and across the country in the waning days of network radio. ...

Chicago – Charlie Kaufman (“Adaptation,” “Being John Malkovich”) once wrote for a TV sitcom so odd that its network and most of the U.S. had no idea what to make of it. Without question, “Get a Life” was ahead of its time. So much of the twisted comedy of 2012 owes a debt to this true oddity from two decades ago, a unique gem that is finally getting a complete series release years after fans started clamoring for it.
Rating: 4.5/5.0
Was it worth the wait? First and foremost, the show is much funnier than I remembered. As the audio commentary points out (and there’s one on every episode), the series premiere of “Get a Life” was a relatively straightforward comedy about a man-child. It wasn’t nearly as dark and twisted as it would later become. Quickly, “Get a Life” turned more into a show about a demented loner and...

Abby Elliott will not return to "Saturday Night Live" next season, the actress tells comedy news blog Splitsider.
She will depart after four seasons on the show. While Andy Samberg and Kristen Wiig were expected to exit the show, the news that Elliott may not come back was not widely reported.
Calls to NBC, which generally does not comment on "SNL" casting decisions until the start of the season, were not returned.
On the show, Elliott was known mostly for her impressions, which included Angelina Jolie, Khloe Kardashian, Rachel Maddow, Anna Faris and Rosie Pope.
Earlier this year, Elliott was cast in the Fox sitcom "Ned Fox Is My Manny" while concurrently on "SNL," which is rare. Some speculated that executive producer Lorne Michaels released Elliott from her "SNL" contractual requirements in order for her to appear on the sitcom. However, she exited "Ned Fox" after a table read, and...

As the world watched the incredible opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the same thought was on many minds: How in the world can London possibly top this in 2012? Faced with that challenge, director Danny Boyle seems to have been inspired by the title of a Monty Python film: "And now for something completely different." I don't know if Boyle's opening ceremony was good. I don't know if it was bad. I know it was surely the sort of event for which the British invented the term "gob-smacking." It was truly, deeply, British. It was by the Brits and for the Brits. Poor Matt Lauer, Meredith Vieira and Bob Costas labored heroically to soldier through their notes, helping clueless NBC viewers to identify a speech from Shakespeare's "Tempest," recognize the 19th century industrialist Brunel, and spot topics they might not have been familiar with, such as the Sex Pistols and the Industrial Revolution.

Before every Major League Baseball All-Star Game, a prospects game is held. Referred to as The All-Star Futures Game, which is a Team USA vs. Team World friendly, it features the best young talent from teams’ minor-systems. Representing the Toronto Blue Jays this year was none other than top prospect Anthony Gose.
Gose, the Blue Jays’ second-highest rated player in their system – ranked below only catching phenom Travis d’Arnaud – started in centrefield for Team USA and had an amazing game before being substituted out prior the top of the fifth. The 21-year-old from Paramount, Calif. went 1-1 with a run and a walk as Team USA rallied from a 4-0 deficit through three-and-a-half innings to come back and crush the World team 17-5 at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City.
Gose hit a ground ball single past the second baseman in the third inning, eventually scoring, and drew a four-pitch walk in the fourth.

Saturday Night Live co-star Abby Elliott is heading to primetime. I’ve learned that Elliott is poised to play the lead in Dana Fox’s Fox pilot Ben Fox Is My Manny. (That’s a lot of Fox-es in one sentence.) The single-camera comedy centers on an uptight single mother (Elliott) whose aimless brother moves in to help raise her daughter (Maggie Jones). The new gig won’t interfere with Elliott’s duties on SNL this season — I hear that she will film the pilot during the late-night show’s spring hiatus. If Ben Fox goes to series, Elliott will stay with it, leaving SNL. If not, she is expected to continue on the NBC late-night sketch comedy series, which she joined in 2008 as a featured player. This marks Elliott’s first major TV gig outside of SNL, where she is probably best known for her memorable impersonations including Angelina Jolie,...

"I was 21 [when I joined SNL]. Thank God, because if I had been underage, it would've been so depressing. But it's a lot tamer than in the old days. It's the same cocaine schedule, but without the cocaine," the comic told the magazine.

From 1978 until last month, Andy Rooney, who has died aged 92, regularly occupied the last minutes of the CBS Sunday evening show 60 Minutes. Wry, often tart, sometimes combative and always beguiling, he presented a miniature essay on a topic of his choice. The programme's phenomenal audience figures in the Us and around the world made him one of the best known news commentators, even though his segment was only – to borrow its name – A Few Minutes With Andy Rooney.
Staring out from under a wiry thicket of eyebrows, he would rummage in his desk drawer and comment caustically on its contents, compare the shrinking quantities of coffee tins, ruminate on the existence of God – he was an agnostic – or mock the absurdities of the politically correct.

Davide Manuli's Beket is a black-and-white film from Italy about… hmm… “about”… funny word. Longing? Sort of. Waiting? For sure. Well-dressed Itailan men? Some what. Floating buses? Doesn’t hurt to mention it. Idleness? Is the playground of the devil. Trance music? I’m becoming more sympathetic to it. The search? Definitely! Beket is about the search, and what happens when you get to the one woman who can lead you to what it is you are searching for.
Sort of.
Before the film began I wondered what version of Becket I would encounter. Would it be Krapp, Endgame, Happy Days, Godot? The opening two scenes, first a man walking alone over an expanse of dried earth, followed by him being greeted by a man on a horse lead by a servant,...

Miss March
Starring Zach Cregger and Trevor Moore
Directed by Zach Cregger and Trevor Moore
Rated R
The comedy troupe The Whitest Kids U’Know has been operating away from the mainstream for some time. The show that bears the group’s name airs on IFC, and like a lot of sketch comedy ensembles before them, an attempt has been made to bring their particular brand of humor to theaters.
Various Saturday Night Live characters have hit the big screen - some more memorably than others - as have Bob and Doug McKenzie from Sctv and The Kids in the Hall. Success is not always automatic in these cases.
The problem with this film is that Miss March shares almost none of the show’s peculiar sensibilities. There is no Abe Lincoln assassinated because he’s heckling performers at Ford Theatre. There is no Hitler the rap star. Miss March...

Davd Del Valle over at Cinefantastique wrote what may be the best tribute to the late "Creature Features" host Bob Wilkins to appear anywhere yet. Bob Wilkins was a unique horror movie host in that he avoided that sort of camp stuff. Bob wore a suit and tie and sat in a yellow rocking chair on a small modest set. He would simply rock back and forth, smoking his cigar and lamenting whatever he was asked to introduce as the evening’s feature. He did this every Saturday night - on his own most of the time, but he would try to have guests to interview if he thought they could add something to the witches’ brew he was serving up on Creature Features. Click here for it. Meanwhile, the official Bob Wilkins site reports there will be two tribute shows in Northern California for the late horror show host.

With shooting set to begin on his new film, comic book adaptation Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, Edgar Wright is assembling a cast to join the on-board Michael Cera and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.The first new name on the cast roster is Kieran Culkin, who has bagged the role of Wallace Wells, Pilgrim's gay former roommate (they shared a bed but it was strictly platonic). Secondly, the wonderfully-named Aubrey Plaza has today signed on to play the supporting role of Julie Powers, the obnoxious on-off-on-again girlfriend of Stephen Stills, lead singer and guitarist of Scott’s band, Sex Bob-omb.It’s been a good day for Plaza, a previously unknown actress who’s on the verge of breaking out.
