After leaving "SNL" in 2007, Rudolph has starred in a number of films including 2011's "Bridesmaids" which reunited her with another former "SNL" regular, Kristen Wiig. She also had a regular role on NBC's "Up All Night", but the show was canceled following one of the leads, Christina Applegate's departure.
