I loved her on SNL! Her impressions of Ana Farris and Angelina Jolie and Zooey Deschanel are amazing 😂❤

I Try to watch Anything and Everything she is ever in. Comedy is in her DNA.
Her dad and grandpa are "Legends". The Elliotts' are easy to love.❤

Expanding Abby's role on The Bear was an incredible decision!! The look on her face as they close "Fishes" was perfection... all I wanted to do was give Nat a hug

The only celebrity I've met that has a hours long conversation with me... We met on a flight 😂😂😂nicest celeb imo

Her hilarious dad Chris Elliott's recurring appearances on David Letterman were so fun. She's a doll.

[matisebenign]

she looked soooo much like Britney Spears when she was younger! I was today years old when I found out that her father was "take my strong hand" in scary movie 2 😂

I can’t believe she lived at the Y?!
Look at her now ❤

"Bob and Ray" comedy duo. Bob's granddaughter is doing well. That's good.

[NewMessage]

Yeah, you got the 'Fancy Lad' room at the Y. The eyelid thing is just a courtesy.

So many ex-SNL cast members seem to disappear, so it's nice to see her career flourish.

[dayeeoliver]

Wow she looks much better than her SNL days 👍

[Researchdigo]

She's one hell of a singer, too - remember the sketch where Bill Hader plays Charlie Sheen?
Abby sings the intro song - and now she's doing cosmetics commercials!

[NewMessage]

That came from Chris' loins? Nice.

Had no idea Chris Elliot is her father. Been a fan since SNL.

3rd Gen. Those who don't know "Bob & Ray" will experience true genius if they seek them out.

[MarceloRomero]

Check her SNL skits. She was fantastic!

[Jinkook-wupu]

Can’t wait to see Luke Newton on best Jimmy show

I was a big fan of Chris Elliott back in the day. But I'm shocked that he could produce off-spring so attractive!
