Liza and Rachel Zoe are my favorites.

Sheer genius... simply put. I always thought so. Her voice is just an added plus.

Now... she should just do a full section of her Liza Minnelli. Its so detailed and fully rounded (her impersonation) that if you closed your eyes you couldn't tell her from the real Liza. She once told a long story on SETH'S CHATTERBOX about the time Liza (with Sam Harris) visited her backstage at the Papermill Playhouse during her run in FUNNY GIRL. Hearing her do her Liza that day was THE day I fell in love with this gem known as Leslie Kritzer.

She needs to work a little more on her Rachel Zoe. Bonnie Hunt has her beat on this one so far.

My goodness, she can tackle characters quite well. Love it. I'd definitely love to hear that Chatterbox interview.

Lorne Michaels need to book her on SNL NOW!

Ooh! Brilliant idea, FWguy!

...well, she might actually be above SNL right now. Heh... woops.

You're never above SNL, unless you're an established star, which she is not. I mean look at Keenan Thompson, former child star turned SNL regular.

The sensational Amy Poehler is leaving SNL after all these years (about to have her baby; upcoming NBC sitcom) and Leslie would be more than an appropriate replacement.

She would rank up there alongside the REAL female SNL gems: Gilda Radner, Jane Curtin, Lorraine Newman, Molly Shannon, Cheri Oteri, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Kristen Wiig.

Who's to say Lorne Michaels hasn't seen or met with her already? Maybe these little YouTube.com segments are specifically designed for this purpose? Maybe we should have a BWW email campaign going to Lorne Michaels?

She would guarantee legitimate musical skits, plus SNL is a perfect outlet for her to showcase her Liza Minnelli and Rachel Zoe parodies. She also has original characters in her repertoire so she has quite a bit to bring to the show. Even her Patti LuPone fits in the SNL demographic, so its endless for her.

I completely agree BrodyFosse.

Kritzer deserves to be on SNL, and I hope they are seriously considering her.

She would really fill the void that's been gone since the Cheri Oteri, Molly Shannon, Ana Geysteyer (sp?) days!!!

Maybe a new version of the Sweeney sisters!!!!

This video is hilarious. She would make an excellent addition to the show.

I love her Bristol Palin, too.

I agree that she would be perfect for SNL!

Andy Samberg was discovered from his online comedy videos, if I'm not mistaken. Hopefully she will have the same path.

I never even thought about the SNL possibility. Could that be why she's putting "SNL" in all of the video titles?

And this is why I"ll be seeing her in "On The Town"

Perhaps they will do a skit with Bristol & Sarah.
