00:00Khloe 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 kickstarted 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
00:16SNL host behavior he'd witnessed during his time on the NBC sketch comedy show, he said this.
00:21This man, this person, this host, made multiple cast members cry on Wednesday
00:27during the before the table read because he hated the ideas. Wow, 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. Okay, I just saw some news article
00:42about Elon Musk being like butthurt about SNL and his impression, but I'm like,
00:47you're clearly watching the show. Fineman continued,
00:51you know what I'm going to come out and say at long last.
00:54I'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 say anything.
01:04She went on to share why Musk made her quote burst into tears.
01:08I stayed up all night writing the sketch. I was so excited. I came in. I asked if you
01:12had any questions and you stared at me like you were firing me from Tesla and were like,
01:18it's not funny.
01:20Fineman posted the TikTok clip on Monday afternoon. It remained up on her account
01:23for several hours, but was later deleted. After news broke of Fineman's TikTok,
01:28Musk responded directly to a Hollywood Reporter staffer 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. I was worried. He went on to say, but then it worked out in the end.
01:41Though Fineman did not mention the sketch's title,
01:44it's been reported that Fineman was referencing The Uli Show.
01:47Ragnarok, you keep waving your arms. Are you going to ask me to be your girlfriend again?
01:52No, I promise.
01:53Okay, good. Go ahead.
01:56Be my girlfriend.
