Heidi Gardner is awful. Every character of hers is the exact same and she is not funny.

Maybe i should be super specific...

She seems to always show up on Weekend Update and play this young clueless millennial white girl. I get rather annoyed with her variations on this character. Not Funny.

I think Heidi Gardner is funny. The Goop character was annoying, but the boxer's wife character she's done on Update a couple times I actually find pretty funny. I think she's talented, she's just on such a shitty show that it makes everyone, even her, look bad. I suspect SNL will get better (lol yeah right) and she'll be the star in a few years or that it won't get better and she'll eventually have some good movies.

It's time for Beck and Kyle to move on from this, too. I feel like they've lost whatever edge and originality they once had and have sunk into the muck that is current SNL.

This is why you wait until at least the fifth wedding anniversary before you name a track on your new album after your partner

He is really funny, but she is especially talented. They'll both be here in seven years, unless they are dead

Seven years is a weirdly broad way to define "flash in the pan". I have no doubt her profile will diminish in that time, but that's just the nature of pop stardom. She's already had a pretty impressive career
