Since 1975, "Saturday Night Live" has captured the attention of audiences worldwide with its quick wit and eclectic mix of skits ranging from satirical political skits to nonsensical, otherworldly skits. Through the creativity and the laughter, actors and actresses alike rose to the occasion of uplifting the SNL brand name, making it one of the most entertaining comedic shows to date. From John Belushi and Dan Akyroyd to Adam Sandler and Kevin Nealon to Bill Hader and Seth Meyers, the show has seen countless cast members who left everlasting comedic impressions. However, through all of the brilliance of the actors who took the stage in Rockefeller Plaza, there was only one who incessantly drove me to tears in laughter — Kristen Wiig. In commemoration of her comic genius, I have compiled a list of my all-time favorite SNL Wiig characters.

1. Dooneese

With her giant forehead, baby hands and out-of-tune melodies, Dooneese stole the show from her three gorgeous sisters all the way from the Finger Lakes. Her strange antics and odd life stories never failed to bring a smile to my face.

2. Gilly

Sorry! Gilly, a deceptively innocent looking student, would slyly stir up some sort of chaos at school. When the teacher looked to her to place his blame, she'd flash her awkward, five-chin smile and reply "Sorry!"

3. The Target Lady

I hope one day I'll meet a Target cashier whose bowl cut is as equally enthusiastic as she is!

4. Sue

Sue — the only person to be more excited about a surprise than a little kid. You know the excitement is real when you feel like you're going to pass out.

5. Mindy

Meet the least humble actress in all of show business — Mindy Grayson. Her reappearances on the show "The Secret Word," never cease to amuse. She's an actress, it's what she does.
