If you like Kristin Wiig‘s character Gilly – the impish, always smiling, troublemaking schoolgirl – then NBC has a special Christmas gift for you.
On December 17, the network will air a two-hour “SNL Presents: A Very Gilly Christmas,” featuring new sketches with the mischievous Gilly as well as classic holiday sketches.
The special should be interesting since the Gilly character barely speaks, opting instead to smile her way through her deviousness. Wiig said that Gilly’s “five-word vocabulary will stretch to 10 or 11 [words]” for the holiday show.
Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin – this year’s Academy Award co-hosts – are also slated to make guest appearances on the special, and introduce holiday-themed skits they’ve performed in.
Wiig added, “Since `SNL’ has been on for so long, it’s 35 years… there’s a lot of good material there.”
