The Ladies Of SNL Shut Down A TikToker Who Claims The Show Never Hires Any "Hot Women"
"They aren't, like, hot."
A TikToker tried to dunk on SNL by claiming the show never hires any “hot women,” and it did not land the way she probably thought it would. Within minutes, the video turned into a full-on roast of her takes, her wording, and the whole idea that comedy needs to come with a beauty rating.
In the two-minute rant, she rattled off cast members and insisted they “aren’t, like, hot.” She even singled out Heidi Gardner, saying she usually plays “super-hot and super-dumb” roles but that she isn’t “that pretty,” which is a wild thing to say out loud about real people doing real work.
Then came the clapbacks from Chloe Troast and Sarah Sherman, and suddenly this wasn’t just a rant, it was a group project in shutting down nonsense.
The TikToker posted a two-minute video ranting about how none of the people who appear on SNL are ever "hot."
TikTok/JahelisThe TikTok user rattled off a list of several cast members, going into detail about how "they aren't, like, hot."
TikTok/JahelisShe described Heidi Gardner as someone who usually lands those "super-hot and super-dumb" roles but that she isn't even "that pretty."

With clapbacks from the likes of Chloe Troast and Sarah Sherman, we're pretty sure Jahelis got more than she bargained for when she decided the TikTok was a good idea.
Here's how the Twitterverse responded.

They're all babes!

Funny = Hot!

This is similar to the AITA fight over splitting the bill evenly after friends objected to fairness, not just opinions.
Why are women still being judged by their appearance?

It's a comedy show, not a beauty pageant.

Is that a word?

Before the comments even fully loaded, Jahelis was already naming Heidi Gardner and other cast members like her opinion was a casting spreadsheet.
The “super-hot and super-dumb” line is what really lit the fuse, because she basically tried to separate the character from the person.
Once Chloe Troast and Sarah Sherman clapped back, the whole thread shifted from “hot or not” to “why are we even doing this?”
That’s when the Twitterverse started posting receipts of their own, with people calling everyone on SNL “babes” and roasting the concept of judging women for looks.
What are your thoughts on Jahelis and her viral video? Did she make a valid point, or was she just being blatantly rude?
We think the ladies of SNL are both beautiful and funny, which contradicts the TikToker's theory that women can't be both. You can share your thoughts with us in the comment section.
The only thing that went viral faster than her video was everyone proving SNL women can be funny and attractive, at the same time.
