00:00If you want to run away with me, we can play hide-and-seek first count to five."
00:04That's hilarious.
00:06Welcome to Miss Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for SNL cast member Chloe Fineman's
00:11most entertaining and enjoyable celeb send-ups.
00:14I'm in my bad girl era now.
00:20Number 10.
00:21Actors from 2020's Oscar-nominated movies
00:24Did you know that the key to snagging an Oscar nomination is through steering-wheel acting?
00:29Chloe Fineman does.
00:30What's that?
00:31You've seen it.
00:32It's the scene in every Oscar movie where a broken woman is finally alone in her car
00:38and just lets it all go, like...
00:41But don't worry, those period pieces are still in with a shot, as long as they adopt the
00:46older, buggy acting technique.
00:48For example, Saoirse Ronan.
00:52Women have hearts and minds as well as souls, and I'm just so sick of being told otherwise.
00:58Indeed, her impression of the cast of 2019's Little Women, using this method, is Oscar-worthy
01:04in itself.
01:05The way she captures the mannerisms and idiosyncrasies of Saoirse Ronan, Timothee Chalamet, and Meryl
01:11Streep is absolutely priceless.
01:14Oh, well.
01:16Oh, well, you know, these young actors are just utterly delicious.
01:24Florence Pugh!
01:26However, don't fret.
01:28Movies without a car or buggy scene are in for a shot too, as long as they have a teacup
01:33scene.
01:34ScarJo, is that you?
01:35So I saw Charlie in this play, and he was this big bear.
01:42Do you feel like you're at home, Colin?
01:459.
01:46Julia Stiles in Save the Last Dance
01:49Julia Stiles was having her moments in the late 90s to early 2000s, so if you or your
01:53significant other were big fans of her work, then there's perhaps no sexier holiday gift
01:58than a re-enactment of her final audition routine from Save the Last Dance.
02:02I'm sorry, you think this is a sexy dance to give your partner?
02:07Don't you?
02:08I mean, not really.
02:09He's worth it to me.
02:12It almost feels like Feynman grew up watching the movie religiously, and perfected her moves
02:18with every viewing.
02:19She's really captured the bizarre essence of that final dance, along with everything
02:23that made it so iconic.
02:24So Sarah combines hip-hop with ballet to create an entirely new style of dance, like this.
02:30Hip-hop, hop.
02:32Hip-hop, hop.
02:34Just as we think this can't get any better, enter Julia Stiles.
02:38We'd give this duo a spot in Juilliard, too.
02:41Okay, so Colin, what did you think?
02:43Well, I can't say this on the record yet, but welcome to Juilliard.
02:48Yay!
02:498.
02:51Phoebe Dynevor
02:52With Regé-Jean Page hosting, a Bridgerton sketch seemed inevitable.
02:56Sure enough, it happened, but not quite in the way that we might have imagined.
03:00Regé, Phoebe, we'll have a brief rehearsal with the intimacy coordinator to make sure
03:04you're both comfortable with the seat.
03:06Oh, excellent.
03:07Is Paula back?
03:08She's fantastic.
03:09Yes, I feel very, very safe with her.
03:11Feynman steps into the shoes of Daphne actress Phoebe Dynevor, alongside the host, as they
03:16meet their new intimacy coordinators.
03:18It's a hilariously absurd setup, but Feynman's dead-on impression often gets overlooked.
03:23Pasties?
03:24Which we invented, our design.
03:26Um, why are they green?
03:28Oh, so they could, uh, green screen in someone else's nips.
03:31Oh, thoughtful, but, um, no thank you.
03:33She not only looks the part, but also captures Dynevor's voice and nuances perfectly.
03:38The actress announced that she had bid farewell to the series for its third season.
03:42However, if the writers have any fresh ideas for Daphne's character arc, we can think of
03:46someone else they can call.
03:48Um, yeah, Daphne, she wouldn't say dumbass, she'd say wrong-hole your grace, so...
03:54No, no, let's not try that.
03:56I mean, we might as well shoot it as, like, an option.
03:59Number seven, her SNL castmates.
04:02When you spend long enough time with anyone, you're bound to pick up on their speech patterns
04:06and non-verbal behaviors.
04:07Exterior Met Gala, Kate is an E! News correspondent.
04:10Okay, so, you guys, um, well, well, gorgeous.
04:18However, Chloe has deliberately been studying her castmates' mannerisms.
04:22You know, in case they ever need an understudy.
04:24Her Kate McKinnon is hilarious, and her Cecily Strong is excellent, too.
04:29Yeah, well, I thought it was funny, but during the show it wasn't on the cue cards.
04:32It wasn't on the cue cards?
04:33No.
04:34Oh.
04:35Oh.
04:36Well.
04:37Well.
04:38Yep.
04:39Way again, too.
04:40She even helps Melissa Villaseñor get through a breakup with uncanny precision.
04:44Frankly, if the entire cast happened to call in sick one day,
04:47Chloe could effortlessly carry the show solo.
04:49And we probably wouldn't even notice.
04:51Hey, dude.
04:52Worst run so far, but fine.
04:54Sarah.
04:55Hello?
04:56Hello?
04:58Wait, do I sound like a Jewish parrot?
05:00Yeah.
05:01Well, maybe she and Ego together.
05:03Yet, she's so flawless that, like Aidy, we have no notes.
05:08Aidy.
05:09Goobily-gabily-goobily.
05:11That ass.
05:12Nailed it.
05:13No nuts.
05:14Number six, Timothee Chalamet.
05:16In a sketch where stars audition to read Britney Spears' The Woman in Me audiobook,
05:20Chloe stands out with several hilarious impressions.
05:23Timothee Chalamet, take 27.
05:25Nah, nah, nah.
05:27Nah, nah, nah.
05:28For sure, for sure.
05:29Just read the lines, please.
05:31Uh, shh, actually, I can't read.
05:35She truly shines here as Natasha Lyonne, Julia Fox, and Timothee Chalamet,
05:40who's also in the sketch.
05:42Apparently, he even got a kick out of it and chuckled at her impression of him.
05:46She also brought her Chalamet impression to SNL At Home episodes
05:50while poking fun at celebs giving masterclasses during quarantine.
05:54I'm really passionate about clothing.
05:56I love fashion, I love clothes, I love hoodies.
06:00Hey, what's up, masterclass?
06:02I'm Timothee Chalamet, and your mom has sex dreams about me.
06:05Her JoJo Siwa and Carole Baskin impressions are also brilliant,
06:09though Baskin might not have been the biggest fan.
06:12She nailed it again in yet another masterclass skit,
06:15this time as Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
06:18Even if you're not writing anything, you can look up from your journal
06:21with a cheeky little grin and play mind games with your partner.
06:25Number 5. Nicole Kidman
06:27We first glimpsed Feynman's spot-on Nicole Kidman impression
06:31during her spoof of The Drew Barrymore Show.
06:33Thank you for allowing me to be on your show.
06:37Drew, this is your show.
06:39Oh my God, thank you.
06:41But then, the Aussie actress became the face of AMC theatres,
06:45reminding us all of the pure magic of cinema.
06:48The commercial stirred up quite a buzz.
06:50Naturally, SNL couldn't resist weighing in.
06:53Luckily, they had the perfect impressionist for the job.
06:56She captures the sincere, dramatic essence of the source material.
06:59That indescribable feeling we get when the lights begin to dim.
07:04Oh, I can't describe it.
07:06And we go places we've never been before.
07:09Plus, her Aussie accent isn't too shabby.
07:11However, this version takes a darker turn
07:14after she delivers one of the commercial's most memorable lines.
07:17Somehow heartbreak feels good in a place like this.
07:20It makes you wonder if anyone would notice the difference
07:23if they swapped it in at some AMC theatres.
07:26Our heroes feel like the best part of us,
07:29and our stories feel perfect.
07:33And powerful.
07:354. Elizabeth Olsen
07:37Earlier, we established that if anyone on the SNL cast
07:40ever needed an understudy,
07:42Chloe Fineman would be the go-to person.
07:44However, she set her sights on something bigger,
07:47the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
07:49Understudies have a very strict code of ethics.
07:52Like, no matter how good my Elizabeth Olsen impression is,
07:55I would never use it to trick Benedict.
07:58Not that she would ever do anything shady
08:00and try and trick her way into the MCU.
08:02Of course not.
08:03Well, actually, her Elizabeth Olsen is so excellent
08:06that we don't blame Benedict Cumberbatch for falling for it.
08:18If you weren't already convinced
08:20that she could be a dead ringer for Olsen,
08:22the real actress walks in,
08:24and it's almost like we're seeing and hearing double.
08:26Perhaps Cumberbatch is right.
08:28Maybe the multiverse does exist.
08:33I am me.
08:34I am me too.
08:36Oh my God.
08:38The multiverse is real.
08:393. Jennifer Coolidge
08:41Thanks to her role in The White Lotus,
08:43Jennifer Coolidge finally received the recognition she deserved,
08:46and SNL didn't waste any time hopping on board.
08:49In the Black Lotus sketch,
08:50Fineman perfectly embodies Coolidge's character,
08:53Tanya McQuoid.
08:54Checking in?
08:55Yes, I am. It's just...
08:57Oh gosh, I forgot my credit card.
09:00I must have left it in the limousine.
09:02Is that okay?
09:03Can you trust me?
09:04No, I can't.
09:05However, it was the Christmas sketch
09:07that truly impressed,
09:08not just us,
09:09but Coolidge herself.
09:11Fineman effortlessly captures the actress'
09:13unique speech patterns and quirks,
09:15embodying not just her appearance,
09:17but her comedic essence as well.
09:19Oh, look at this.
09:20A big sock full of gifts.
09:23You know, the ultimate stocking stuffer
09:26is a foot.
09:29She really gets Coolidge's humour
09:31and larger-than-life personality just right.
09:34Just imagine if they were in a sketch together.
09:36It would be comedy gold.
09:38Someone get Lauren Michaels on the line pronto.
09:41That's really good.
09:43Did you write this song?
09:46Did I write Jingle Bells?
09:49Yeah.
09:502. Britney Spears
09:52SNL used a chat show format
09:54to react to the documentaries released
09:57Are you looking to post a lame apology
09:5920 years late?
10:01Go through the motions with
10:03the Notes app.
10:04Fineman plays the pop star in a send-up
10:06that strikes the perfect balance
10:08between satire and loving respect.
10:10She's got the voice down pat,
10:12those signature Instagram moves,
10:14and a sprinkle of the singer's charm.
10:16While Fineman's Britney often feels
10:18ditzy and quirky,
10:19she highlights the words and actions
10:21of others who are not that innocent.
10:23Well, as someone who is often blamed
10:25for other people's problems at a young age,
10:27maybe leave your daughters out of it
10:29because it could really mess up with their heads.
10:31She even reprised the bit
10:33in another episode's Cold Open.
10:35When Britney's book The Woman in Me came out,
10:37she returned to play the pop star,
10:39introducing the actors considered
10:41for the audiobook.
10:42My audiobook is read by the amazing
10:45Michelle Williams.
10:47But she wasn't the only one
10:48who wanted to read it.

11:061. Drew Barrymore
11:08Fineman knocked it out of the park
11:10with her spot-on parody
11:11of Drew Barrymore's daytime talk show.
11:13I am just like you,
11:15a boho-free-spirit
11:17mommy-mother movie star
11:19since I was six.
11:21The skit captures the lively atmosphere
11:23of the show with its vibrant set
11:25and Barrymore's infectious energy.
11:27Fineman dives deep into Barrymore's mannerisms,
11:29speech patterns, and bubbly persona,
11:31making it a delight to watch.
11:33Even Barrymore herself loved it,
11:35inviting Fineman to discuss it
11:37on her actual show.
11:38I am just in awe of you.
11:40I know, by the way,
11:41thanks to me, to you,
11:43I am in awe too of you.
11:45She also plays all of the guests,
11:47including Reese Witherspoon,
11:49perfectly.
11:50The best woman on earth.
11:52Girl, you are literally mom-hero-she-queen.
11:54I marvel at you.
11:56I love you more than Oprah.
11:57I love you.
11:58I love you so much,
11:59I want to come into your room
12:00and murder you with a butter spoon.
12:01It's clear that Fineman's having a blast
12:03in the role,
12:04making the sketch all the more entertaining.
12:06If Barrymore ever wanted to take a day off,
12:08she has the perfect stand-in.
12:10Thank you for being my V.S.S.
12:13virtual friends forever.
12:15Who would you like to see Chloe
12:17add to her arsenal of impressions?
12:19Let us know in the comments.
12:21Has anyone asked me to be an understudy?
12:23No.
12:24But they haven't asked me to stop.
