My Take
Heidi Gardner is the kind of performer I instinctively root for, the one who earned every inch. Surviving eight seasons on Saturday Night Live, the most punishing live-comedy gym there is, and being promoted to repertory in 2019, is no small feat. From Kansas City to the center of American comedy, she did it the slow, unglamorous way, on sheer craft. The blend of voice work, acting, and sketch tells me she has the observation and nerve that the spotlight alone never grants. I trust performers who win on ability rather than backstory, and Gardner clearly belongs in that camp.
