Arts, Briefly - Two Women Join SNL - NYTimes.com

THE NEXT SIOBHAN FALLON? With Amy Poehler's departure, SNL has hired two new female cast members from the J. Harvie Wilkinson and Alex Kozinski of the comedy feeder universe -- Michaela Watkins of the Groundlings and Abby Elliott of the Upright Citizen's Brigade.

Elliott is the first daughter of a cast member to make the show -- yes, Chris is her dad -- and at 21, ties Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the youngest woman to ever join the cast. (Anthony Michael Hall was 17 when he joined; Eddie Murphy was 19.)
