* GenerationXerox: Her dad is Creator/ChrisElliott, from the short-lived Fox sitcom ''Series/GetALife'' and the also-short-lived AnimatedAdaptation of ''WesternAnimation/{{Dilbert}}'' that aired on Creator/{{UPN}}. He also was a cast member on ''SNL'' during its 20th season, which, like seasons six and eleven, was despised by fans and critics for [[SeasonalRot being bad]] (this makes Abby Elliot the first ''SNL'' cast member to be the child of another -- and, now that she's left the show, the only child of a former ''SNL'' cast member to last longer on the show and have more fan appeal than the parent). Her [[Radio/BobAndRay grandfather]] is a famous comedian too and cameoed on a 1978 Christmas episode of ''SNL'' hosted by Creator/ElliottGould, making Abby Elliott a third-generation ''SNL'' performer.
** Furthermore, Chris Elliott gained a following during TheEighties for his frequent appearances on the David Letterman incarnation of ''Series/LateNight''. These days, Abby often pops up in bits on ''Series/LateNight'' with ''Creator/JimmyFallon''.
** And appeared in ''Series/{{How I Met Your Mother}}'' as one of Ted's girlfriends, after her father had a recurring bit as Lily's dad.
** WhatMightHaveBeen: Played Alexis Rose in the unaired pilot of ''Series/SchittsCreek'', on which her father plays Mayor Roland Schitt. She was unavailable when the show went to series so she was replaced by Annie Murphy.

Elliott was on ''SNL'' for four seasons (2008–12). She has also appeared in the movie ''Film/NoStringsAttached'', and has lent her voice to the last couple of seasons of ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' and ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil''.
