As a seasoned movie enthusiast with a penchant for behind-the-scenes drama and a deep appreciation for the art of comedy, I must say that the recent exchange between Elon Musk and Saturday Night Live (SNL) has been quite a spectacle to behold. It’s like watching a modern-day remake of the classic catfight between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, but with less pearl-clutching and more electric cars.
Following Dana Carvey’s first appearance as Elon Musk on the recent episode of Saturday Night Live, the Tesla CEO expressed some critical opinions about the show, stating that it has been gradually fading for quite some time. This comment sparked a response from SNL cast member Chloe Fineman who, in a since-deleted TikTok video, defended previous reports suggesting that Musk made people cry during his hosting stint in 2021. As one of those individuals moved to tears, Fineman openly acknowledged that she was among them.
In her TikTok video, Fineman confessed that she was the one who made a cast member cry on SNL, corroborating Bowen Yang’s earlier statements from August. During his appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Yang didn’t disclose names, but implied it was someone from the SNL cast.
On Wednesday, before the rehearsal, this individual – be it a man or simply ‘they’ – serving as the host, stirred up emotions among several cast members by expressing intense dislike towards their suggestions.
If you decide to behave impolitely on your stage, let me tell you something: Your actions left Chole Fineman in tears. You see, she had spent the entire night writing that sketch, filled with excitement. Upon entering, she asked if there were any questions, only to receive a response that felt like being dismissed from Tesla and, ‘It’s not funny.’
After expecting you to say ‘Just kidding!’ and realizing that wasn’t the case, you began sifting through my script, commenting on each page with something like, ‘I didn’t chuckle. Not even once.’ Later, the sketch ended up being included, and it turned out well, and I genuinely enjoyed myself and thought you were amusing in it. However, next time, could you please show a bit more courtesy?
Elon Musk Responds to Chloe Fineman
Following Chris Gardner of The Hollywood Reporter sharing Fineman’s video on X, Musk responded in a manner that suggested his inflated self-importance and sense of entitlement, asserting, “it wasn’t until the Thursday before the Saturday that any of the sketches drew laughs. I was concerned.” Essentially, he was anxious about the possibility that his appearance on SNL might be so unamusing that it would sober a drug addict, as he put it. Musk proposed several concepts for his SNL hosting gig, one of which involved pretending to expose himself to the audience in an attempt to prove his masculinity, but instead showcasing a baby rooster. Needless to say, this idea was wisely turned down.
A week after Donald Trump was elected as the 47th U.S. President, a verbal dispute between Musk and SNL has arisen. Throughout his campaign, Musk supported Trump’s bid for presidency. Over the years, Trump has been a target of jokes on SNL, and he has responded with many outbursts. It seems that Musk is adopting the same approach. Given their similarities, it’s no surprise they have formed an alliance, a fact that SNL may capitalize on in the coming weeks. We welcome the ensuing chaos because, in this Orwellian world we live in now, laughter remains the best remedy to preserve our sanity.
