Kristen Wiig Retires “Gilly” and “Penelope.”

SNL favorite Kristen Wiig, star of the new movie “Bridesmaids” is putting two of her popular sketch characters to rest… the perpetual one-upper ‘Penelope’ and the inexplicable, always sorry “Gilly.”
According to an interview in TIME, it seems their time to go had come.
Says scribe Joel Stein:
 Because her characters are simple, she’s smart enough to retire them long before other SNL cast members would.
She’ll no longer do Penelope the one-upper or Gilly the mischievous schoolgirl, not even at Michaels’ request.
