Imagine this: you’re scrolling through TikTok, minding your own business, when you come across a video claiming that “Saturday Night Live” (SNL), the famous comedy show, only hires women who aren’t exactly…well, lookers. The video goes viral, sparking a hilarious back-and-forth between the show’s female cast members and the internet. Let’s dive into this lighthearted feud!
It all started with a TikTok user named Jahelis. In her video, she threw some shade at SNL, saying something like, “Has anyone ever noticed SNL never hires hot women?” Now, she wasn’t saying the cast is ugly, but that they don’t fit the typical model look. Jahelis even used a picture of SNL cast member Heidi Gardner as an example. Ouch!
Jahelis then went on a bit of a rant, suggesting that maybe SNL avoids “hot” women because people can’t handle the idea of someone being both funny and attractive. It’s a strange theory, but hey, that’s the internet for you!
This video caught fire, racking up millions of views. It wasn’t long before it reached the eyes (and funny bones) of the SNL cast itself. Sarah Sherman, a comedian known for her quirky humor, saw the video and decided to clap back in the best way she knew how – with a joke!
She shared the video on another social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, and wrote a hilarious message pretending to be super bummed. She said something like, “Just found out I’m not hot. Please give me and my family space to grieve privately and uglily at this time.” Talk about funny!
Sarah wasn’t the only SNL lady to chime in. Chloe Fineman, another new cast member, also joined the fun. She made a funny response video on TikTok itself. In the video, Chloe pretended to be heartbroken and sang a bit of the song “Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera, while flipping the camera the bird. It was a playful way of saying, “Hey, I think I’m pretty awesome, TikTok user!”
The internet, of course, had a field day. Many people came to the defense of the SNL cast, praising the women for their talent and beauty. Fans pointed out that SNL has had some seriously gorgeous and hilarious women over the years, like Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, and Tina Fey. These are just a few of the many funny and beautiful women who have graced the SNL stage!
The whole thing turned into a lighthearted discussion about beauty standards and how funny women can be just as attractive as anyone else. It also showed how the SNL cast can take a jab and turn it into comedy gold.
But the story doesn’t end there. The whole “hot women” debate even reached former SNL stars! Maya Rudolph, known for her powerhouse performances, jokingly offered to come back on the show and “raise the hot meter a few notches.” Now that would be a funny sketch!
In the end, this whole situation turned into a positive moment for SNL. It showed that the cast is not afraid to laugh at themselves, and it sparked a conversation about appreciating women for more than just their looks. Plus, it gave us all a good chuckle! So next time you see a weird take on the internet, remember, it might just turn into some unexpected laughs.
