Early Reactions to Nasim Pedrad

There's not a lot you can say about Nasim Pedrad's first "real" Saturday Night Live appearance.  She didn't do a great deal and was completely upstaged by the other newbie, Jenny Slate, who managed to make her presence known via a bit of FCC-baiting/f-bombing.

As noted at Hot Issues, "Slate's fellow SNL newcomer, Nasim Pedrad also debuted on SNL last night. She did not utter any expletives."

That about sums up the first night of SNL for Pedrad. 
She didn't say "f**k."

She was a little busier on Thursday, introducing herself to the broadcast television world during SNL's Weekend Update spin-off.  She showed off her impersonation of D-list actress (and possessor of a surprisingly hot bikini body--who knew?) Kathy Griffin.

Reaction to Nasim's Griffin seems to be positive.   Here are two different comments indicative of how folks felt about her first shimmy into the SNL limelight.

Amy of Live from New York, It's Saturday Night says, "Also, I just have to mention how much I enjoyed Nasim Pedrad's impression of Kathy Griffin on SNL Weekend Update Thursday - girl's got game!"

The Comic's Comic notes, "...newcomer Nasim Pedrad checked in as Kathy Griffin (kudos on nailing her debut, although odd that the hair people didn't go for a bolder red?)"

So far, so good.  Keep it up, Nasim.
