SNL Stars Fire Back At Claim There Are No Hot Women On The Cast

Cast members from Saturday Night Live have responded to a TikTok video claiming that the show has never hired a hot woman before.  

TikTok user @Jahelis sparked controversy after posting a now-viral video last month alleging that the comedy sketch show doesnt cast hot female comedians because people refuse to accept how super beautiful women can also be funny. 

Not saying that every single woman on SNL is ugly, its just that none of them have ever been, like, hot. They all just kind of have looks that eventually grow on you, she clarified in the March 21 clip thats been viewed more than 480,000 times since.

I think it goes back to my theory where, one, people dont like it when conventionally [attractive] especially super beautiful women are funny, she continued. People refuse to accept that thats true. And they assume that any kind of humor they put out into the world is actually them being stupid and they dont understand sarcasm, or why what theyre saying is funny.

The TikTok user argued, To be considered funny, you have to be more funny than you are hot. And if youre more hot than you are funny, then it boils down to you just not being funny at all.

At one point she singled out Maya Rudolph, who starred on the show from 2000-2020, as really beautiful before adding that the rest of [the female cast] are all pretty average looking women. She also called out veteran SNL actor, Kristen Wiig, as conventionally pretty, but declared she isnt hot.

Doubling down on her thoughts, the TikTok user then insisted that the same hotness rules dont apply to the shows male cast members before calling former SNL star Jimmy Fallon a conventionally super hot guy. She also nodded to Andy Samberg, Jason Sudeikis and Bowen Yang, calling them all relatively hot men.

TikTok user @Jahelis didnt immediately respond to HuffPosts requests for comment.

Other TikTok users jumped into her comments section to share examples of hot SNL female comedians.

Cecily strong is SO hot idk what youre talking about , one person wrote.

Another said, Ego Nwodim is literally drop dead gorgeous. 

Kate Mckinnon??!!! Melissa villasenor?! Amy Poehler?!?? Kristen Wig?!!! helloOoOo, someone else wrote. 

The TikTok users video was later posted on X where it garnered more than 10 million views, prompting several SNL stars to respond. 

Cast member Sarah Sherman, who starred on the show from 2021-2023, reposted the TikTok on X, writing , just found out Im not hot. Please give me and my family space to grieve privately and uglily at this time.

SNL newcomer, Chloe Troast , also addressed the TikTok video in a reaction video where she sang Christina Aguileras Beautiful while covertly flipping off the camera.
