Fan-favorite Saturday Night Live cast member Chloe Fineman recently revealed which past host made her cry while they were guesting on the series.
Ever since Bowen Yang revealed months ago that a past host in Saturday Night Live made multiple cast members cry, fans have been speculating which celebrity he might be hinting at. Now, it looks like we finally know the answer.
Chloe Fineman Reveals Which Past Saturday Night Live Host Made Her Cry
In a now-deleted TikTok post, Fineman revealed that it was Elon Musk who made her cry while he was hosting Saturday Night Live in May 2021.
"Okay, I just saw some news article about Elon Musk being like butt-hurt about SNL and his impression. But I’m, like, you’re clearly watching the show. Like, what are you talking about?" she said in the video.
"And I’m like, you know what? I’m gonna come out and say at long last that I’m the cast member that he made cry. And he’s the host that made someone cry. Maybe there’s others."
Fineman claimed that Musk was not satisfied and gave a rude response after she pitched an idea for a sketch to him.
"I was like, I’m not gonna say anything. But I’m like, no, if you’re gonna go on your platform and be rude. Guess what? You made I, Chloe Fineman, burst into tears because I stayed up all night writing the sketch," she recalled.
"I was so excited, I came in, I asked if you had any questions and you stared at me like you were firing me from Tesla and were like, ‘It’s not funny.'"
Fineman continued, "I waited for you to be like, ‘Ha ha, jk.’ No. Then you started pawing through my script, like flipping each page being like, ‘I didn’t laugh once. Not one time.'"
The Saturday Night Live cast member also said that the sketch eventually made it on air. The results ended up being "fine" and she "actually had a really good time."
Elon Musk's History with Saturday Night Live
The controversial billionaire notably hosted the May 8, 2021 episode of Saturday Night Live during its 46th season. Miley Cyrus served as the musical guest.
While the episode received a mixed reception among the viewers, it was one of the season's highest-viewed episodes.
Just like any guest host, Musk participated in almost every sketch. His mother also made an appearance during his opening monologue while his then-partner Grimes appeared in one of the sketches.
Recently, Musk, who has become a vocal supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, showed his disdain for Dana Carvey's impression of him during last weekend's episode.
"SNL has been dying slowly for years, as they become increasingly out of touch with reality. Their last-ditch effort to cheat the equal airtime requirements and prop up Kamala [Harris] before the election only helped sink her campaign further," he wrote in his X post.
