Who is Michaela Watkins?

Michaela Watkins is Saturday Night Live's new breakout star (sorry Kristen Wiig, you're so 2008).

Michaela, who joined the show in the middle of the current season, has won instant recognition with her spot-on impressions of Arianna Huffington and Barbara Walters.

But it's her newest character, snarky blogger Angie Tempura of BitchPleeze.com, that is fast becoming the most popular addition to the show.

She's only been on featured on the "Weekend Update" segment twice, but if the number of hits she's getting online is anything to go by, we can expect to see a lot more of Angie.

Born in Syracuse, N.Y., and raised in Boston, Michaela was performing with L.A.'s legendary Groundlings Theater (home of many SNL alum including Jimmy Fallon, Will Ferrell, Maya Rudolph and Cheri Oteri) before joining SNL.

Thank you for this. I can't stop saying, "Bitch..Pleeze" to everyone I know.
