Before joining SNL, Elliott took comedy classes at The Groundlings and eventually began training and performing sketch comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater (UCBT) in Los Angeles. In 2006, Elliott appeared with small roles in the comedy pilots "You've Reached The Elliotts" and "Chrissy: Plain & Simple", both pilots starring her father, Chris Elliott. While at UCBT, she frequently performed with The Midnight Show sketch troupe. She has also occasionally performed comedy with her younger sister Bridey. Elliott joined the cast of SNL midway through the 2008–2009 season, in November 2008, to replace the departing Amy Poehler. Before joining SNL, Elliott had also done guest voices roles on King of The Hill and Minoriteam. She has also been featured as a character on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon in a parody of The Jersey Shore called The Jersey Floor, based in NBC's 30 Rock building.
In August 2010, a number of celebrity gossip websites reported that Elliott is now dating her SNL co-star Fred Armisen. In 2011, she made her film debut with a small role in No Strings Attached, and appears with a supporting role in the upcoming indie-comedy High Road.
