Abby Elliott, born on June 16, 1987, in New York City, is the daughter of comedian and actor Chris Elliott and talent coordinator Paula Niedert. She grew up in Wilton, Connecticut, alongside her sister. Coming from a distinguished comedic lineage—her grandfather being veteran comedian Bob Elliott—Abby was exposed to the world of entertainment from an early age, often spending time on the set of Late Night with David Letterman, where her father was a regular cast member.
After graduating from high school, Abby briefly attended Marymount Manhattan College but left during her first semester to pursue a career in comedy. She honed her skills with The Groundlings and later trained at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre (UCBT) in Los Angeles. At just 19, she began performing with The Midnight Show, a sketch comedy troupe affiliated with UCBT, gaining recognition for her strong impersonation skills.
Abby Elliott is best known for her time as a cast member on Saturday Night Live (SNL), where she performed from 2008 to 2012. During her four-season stint, she became known for her spot-on impressions of celebrities such as Anna Faris and Angelina Jolie. Her work on SNL helped solidify her reputation as one of the strongest impressionists of her generation.
Following her departure from SNL, Abby expanded her career into both television and film. Her television credits include roles in popular series such as King of the Hill, How I Met Your Mother, Inside Amy Schumer, and Odd Mom Out, where she portrayed "Brooke Von-Weber," a fashion-obsessed, status-conscious mother. In film, she has appeared in titles like No Strings Attached, Life Partners, Fun Size, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Sex Ed.
Abby has expressed a preference for what she calls “honest acting,” noting that genuine moments often lead to better comedic outcomes than forced humor. As her career continues to evolve, she remains committed to roles that blend sincerity and comedy. She has a reported net worth of approximately $1.5 million, though her growing body of work suggests that number is likely to rise.
