Gilly is a recurring sketch on the NBC television series Saturday Night Live. The titular character, Gilly, is portrayed by Kristen Wiig.

[1] Gilly appeared in five regular Saturday Night Live episodes and a two-hour Christmas special between 2009 and 2012 before being retired by Wiig. [2] [3] [4] [5]
Creation and Concept
Gilly’s creation sprang from Wiig and SNL writer Paula Pell attaching a personality to a pulled-back smile Wiig thought was goofy enough to merit a character. [6] Wiig and Pell were writing something else at the time, but the two gradually developed the idea over the proceeding weeks. [7] With time, the two conceived Gilly as a bad kid who said “sorry,” and Wiig explained that the idea developed organically from there. [8]
Gilly, ultimately presented as a fiendish Little Orphan Annie delighting in mischief, subsequently debuted in 2009 during 34.13.
