[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Even Jane Wick is beginning to grow on me.[/quote]

I like her on Weekend Update but she was so awful in the stripper skit. Refused to deliver funny lines in a funny way.  She stuck with her own way of performing which has a time and place, but it was distracting here and a slap in the face to other people in the skit.[/quote]

I actually am starting to feel bad for her because she was selected for the show due to her viral fame for doing the kind of thing she did on update -- silly songs she writes herself delivered in that weird flat way that is part of the humor. It can be very funny because it's her specific brand of humor and tailored to her strengths.

She's not good at sketch comedy and they put her in SO MANY sketches and it's painful. She doesn't have the comedic timing or instincts. She is likely more of a writer, not a performer, or would do well as a standup doing the musical thing, but she's just not SNL material. But who turns down SNL? Sarah Sherman has given interview lately where she talks about how SNL isn't right for her either but you'd be insane not to take the opportunity if you work in comedy. It's career launching. But at least Sarah has found a good niche on the show that works for them and for her, even if it's not the kind of comedy she wants to do.

But I think Jane Wickline is genuinely doing her best, it's painful, and Lorne keeps throwing her out there. Why not use her more sparingly, try to cultivate her writing talent, let her do her weird bit on update now and again, and see where it goes? Instead of trying to make her Kristin Wiig, which will never actually happen.[/quote]
