Kristen Wiig stars in exclusive new Welcome To Me clip

Roll over Joy Mangano, there’s a new reality TV star in town. New comedy-drama Welcome To Me sees Kristen Wiig’s quest for TV stardom as Alice Klieg, a woman with Borderline Personality Disorder who wins $86 million on the Mega-Millions lottery, quits her meds and purchases a talk show. Check out what ensues in this new clip below.

Welcome To Me, the show’s name, sees the culmination of Kleig’s dream. But, as this scene hints, there’s not a lot of game plan to go with the ambition.

With Wiig’s character in a weird and dissociated state, expect this one to showcase her dramatic range as much as her comedic chops. There’s no Saturday Night Live-like wildness on Klieg's show, just long screeds about meatloaf cake and masturbation, with the odd angry recap of past events mixed in.

Directed by Shira Piven and produced by her husband Adam McKay and Will Ferrell’s Gary Sanchez marque, the script is the work of Eliot Laurence. Wiig’s co-stars include Wes Bentley, Linda Cardellini, Joan Cusack, Loretta Devine, Jennifer Jason Leigh, James Marsden, Tim Robbins and Alan Tudyk.

Welcome To Me lands in UK cinemas and on the Sky Store on March 25.
