Abby Elliott followed her father, Chris Elliott, into comedy. She became the youngest female cast member on Saturday Night Live at the time. Despite her talent, she struggled to stand out. Chris made a name for himself with quirky roles in Get a Life and Schitt’s Creek. Abby’s time on SNL ended after four seasons, and her later roles didn’t make much noise. While Chris built a long career in comedy, Abby’s work stayed smaller. Even with appearances in shows like Odd Mom Out, her father’s reputation has always loomed larger. Many still recognize her as Chris Elliott’s daughter rather than her work.
