Saturday Night Live co-star Abby Elliott is streamer to primetime. I've schooled that Elliott is staid to play a lead in Dana Fox's Fox commander Ben Fox Is My Manny. (That's a lot of Fox-es in one sentence.) The single-camera comedy centers on an concerned singular mom (Elliott) whose drifting hermit moves in to assistance lift her daughter (Maggie Jones). The new gig won't meddle with Elliott's duties on SNL this deteriorate — we hear that she will film a commander during a late-night show's open hiatus. If Ben Fox goes to series, Elliott will stay with it, withdrawal SNL. If not, she is approaching to continue on a NBC late-night blueprint comedy series, that she assimilated in 2008 as a featured player. This outlines Elliott's initial vital TV gig outward of SNL, where she is substantially best famous for her noted impersonations including Angelina Jolie, Anna Faris, Rachel Maddow, Khloe Kardashian, Zooey Deschanel and Brittany Murphy. Elliott is a latest SNL star to quit to primetime. She follows in a footsteps of her father, Chris Elliott, who parlayed a army on SNL into a plain primetime sitcom career. (Abby's grandfather, comedian Bob Elliott, also hosted SNL behind in a day.) On a large screen, CAA-repped Elliott was recently seen in No Strings Attached.
