Kristen Wiig, Welcome to Me



Kristen Wiig wigs out as Alice Klieg, a bipolar lottery winner, off her meds, who produces her own Oprah-like TV show called Welcome to Me—which forms the apt title of this offbeat comedy. The Oscar-nominated Bridesmaids screenwriter and Saturday Night Live veteran discusses her work ethic, her upcoming films, including the high profile, top secret all-female Ghostbusters remake, and explains the need to balance humor and sensitivity while dealing with the theme of mental illness.
