Here comes Michaela Watkins, Abby Elliot to SNL

Abby Elliott and Michaela Watkins have been made the new stars on the hit comedy "Saturday Night Live."

The two are expected to at least partly fill the void left by the recent departure of Amy Poehler, starting this Saturday Night.

Elliott is the daughter of actor Chris Elliott, who was on the show during the 1994-95 season.

Watkins, also of The Groundlings, recurs on CBS" "The New Adventures of Old Christine" this season.

Hopefully this will help them boost some ratings after som lackluster years as of late. Saturday Night Live used to be the jumping platform for up and coming stars such as Adam Sandler, David Spade, and of course Chris Farley just to name a few.
