Judy Grimes

Judy Grimes

Judy Grimes is a recurring character on Saturday Night Live portrayed by Kristen Wiig.

First appearing on April 22nd, Judy is Weekend Update's Travel Expert, who is called on to discusss travel related issues in the news. As a result of her extreme fear of being on television she babbles uncontrollably whenever she's asked a question, punctuating her sentences with "Just Kidding!".However, despite her enormous amount of talking, it never relates to the topic in question, prompting anchors to ask if she'd rather come back another time when she's less nervous.

As she gets more panicked, her stories get more and more unbelievable, and she says "just kidding" more and more frequently, culminating in her being excused by the anchor.

Inspiration

This skit closely resembles the classic Improvisation game of "change". Whereby a player has to perform a scene, but change the last line whenever "change" is called. The result of changes create crazier and crazier scenarios. In this case the word "just kidding" replaces change and the character is calling it herself.
