Chloe Fineman is the first Saturday Night Live cast member confirmed to be leaving after Season 51. Fineman departs after seven seasons, having joined the show as a featured player in 2019 before being promoted to repertory status ahead of Season 47 in 2021. Fineman wrote in a lengthy Instagram statement, “After 7 wonderful seasons at SNL I have decided it’s time for my next chapter,” she expressed her gratitude towards the show and its creator, Lorne Michaels.
Fineman continued to express her appreciation for the experience she gained while working at Saturday Night Live, mentioning the skills and dedication of her colleagues. She shared anecdotes about her time on the show, including the process of creating costumes, writing sketches, and working on video projects. Fineman also poked fun at the show’s intense environment, where cast members become deeply invested in their work, often to the point of extreme emotional reactions.
Fineman’s Time on SNL
Fineman’s most viral sketches include Snack Homiez, Forever 31, and the Domingo series with Marcello Hernandez. She also portrayed various celebrities throughout her run, including Drew Barrymore, Britney Spears, Nicole Kidman, Timothée Chalamet, Sydney Sweeney, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Coolidge, and Anna Delvey.
Outside of SNL, Fineman faced backlash this past April after telling the story of pantsing a six-year-old boy in a Vanity Fair video interview with her castmates. The story sparked controversy, and some of the comments and reactions have since been edited out of the video. Fineman is currently in negotiations for her potential next project, a Netflix drama series titled Myron Bolitar, based on Harlan Coben’s book series.
Future Projects
Fineman has also done voice work in Big Mouth and Despicable Me 4. As she moves on from Saturday Night Live, Fineman is likely to bring her unique talent and experience to new and exciting projects.
