When Kristen Wiig first arrived in L.A., she was part of the improvisational comedy troupe called "The Groundlings." The name "The Groundlings" is inspired by the Shakespearean play "Hamlet," referring to the audience members who stood in the pit, or "ground," to watch the performances. This troupe has been known for nurturing comedic talent and has produced many successful comedians.
