A TikTok user who goes by the name @jahelis says in her 3-minute video that that in just under 50 years, Saturday Night Live has never cast a “hot woman” as part of the show’s core ensemble.
Immediately stating that she doesn’t think the female castmates are “ugly,” Jahelis says they all have looks “that eventually grow on you.” Using a green screen effect, she uses current cast member Heidi Garner as her first example. The TikToker states that Gardner often portrays someone who is “super hot and super dumb, and the point of the joke is that she’s super pretty.” It always makes this TikToker laugh because “She’s not that pretty.” Later, she adds, “Why don’t they hire better-looking people? It’s TV.”
In the clip, which has received over 570,000 views and thousands of comments, Jahelis then listed hot male cast members. She listed a young Jimmy Fallon, Andy Samberg, Jason Sudeikis, and Bowen Yang as being “hot” SNL castmates. Maya Rudolph was the only woman she thinks is hot, and then proceeded to list Kristen Wiig as another SNL female cast member who she doesn’t find “hot.” Commenting on the clip and receiving tens of thousands of likes, one user wrote: “This is so random and mean.” Another stated: “Normalize journaling.”
Gardner’s female cast members jumped to her defense and fired back at Jahelis’ comments. Current SNL cast member Sarah Sherman took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote: “Just found out i’m not hot. Please give me and my family space to grieve privately and uglily at this time.”
Chloe Troast, also an active cast member, shared a video on Instagram as she sang Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful.” Troast offered Jahelis two middle fingers in response. In her caption, Troast cheekily wrote: “No worries if you feel this way! (ó﹏ò｡)”
“I never expected that video to go viral,” the content creator said in a TikTok video following the backlash. “Had I known, I would have maybe articulated myself a little bit better. I was expecting to have a dialogue with my community, who is used to my unfiltered opinions that rarely come from a place of malice.”
