00:00Chloe Fineman says Elon Musk made her burst into tears when he hosted Saturday Night Live.
00:05Fineman's admission solves an SNL mystery Bowen Yang kick-started a couple months ago
00:09during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
00:13When Cohen asked Yang to reveal without naming names the worst SNL host behavior he'd witnessed
00:18during his time on the NBC sketch comedy show, he said this.
00:21This man who, this person, this host, made multiple cast members cry on Wednesday during
00:28Before the Table because he hated the ideas.
00:30Wow, that's terrible.
00:32On Monday, Fineman posted and then deleted a TikTok video confirming that she's one of the
00:36cast members from the story, and the host was Musk.
00:39Okay, I just saw some news article about Elon Musk being like butthurt about SNL and his impression,
00:46but I'm like, you're clearly watching the show.
00:50Fineman continued, you know what, I'm going to come out and say at long last.
00:53I'm the cast member that he made cry, and he's the host that made someone cry.
00:59Maybe there's others, but I saw some articles and stuff, and I was like, I'm not going to
01:04say anything.
01:04She went on to share why Musk made her quote burst into tears.
01:07I stayed up all night writing the sketch.
01:10I was so excited.
01:11I came in, I asked if you had any questions, and you stared at me like you were firing me
01:16from Tesla, and we're like, it's not funny.
01:20Fineman posted the TikTok clip on Monday afternoon.
01:22It remained up on her account for several hours, but was later deleted.
01:26After news broke of Fineman's TikTok, Musk responded directly to a Hollywood Reporter
01:30staffer on X, the platform he owns.
01:32He wrote,
01:33Frankly, it was only on the Thursday before the Saturday that any of the sketches generated
01:37laughs.
01:38I was worried.
01:39He went on to say, but then it worked out in the end.
01:42Though Fineman did not mention the sketch's title, it's been reported that Fineman was
01:45referencing the Uli show.
01:47Ragnarok, you keep waving your arms.
01:49Are you going to ask me to be your girlfriend again?
01:52No, I promise.
01:53Okay, good.
01:54Go ahead.
01:56Be my girlfriend.
