Woman Claims SNL “Has Never Hired A Hot Woman,” Gets Hilariously Shut Down By Cast
The cast members of “Saturday Night Live” once again proved why they’re the crown jewels of jest after responding to a TikTok video about how the show never hires “hot” women.
The uproar began after a recent TikTok video, made by user Jahelis, went viral and caught the eyes and ears of millions online, including some of the SNL cast members, who were accused of being “not hot.”
Jahelis claimed the show didn’t hire “hot” women because “people refuse to accept” how “super beautiful women” can be funny as well.

“Not saying that every single woman on SNL is ugly, it’s just that none of them have ever been, like, hot. They all just kind of have looks that eventually grow on you,” Jahelis said in a since-deleted clip that was posted in March.
“I think it goes back to my theory where, one, people don’t like it when conventionally [attractive women] ― especially super beautiful women ― are funny,” she added. “People refuse to accept that that’s true. And they assume that any kind of humor they put out into the world is actually them being stupid and they don’t understand sarcasm, or why what they’re saying is funny.”
Jahelis singled out some of the SNL stars and said Maya Rudolph, who made the audience laugh from 2000-2020, was “really beautiful,” but “the rest of [the female cast] are all pretty average-looking women.”
Jahelis picked out stars one by one, including Kristen Wiig, whom she declared was “conventionally pretty” but not “hot”

The TikToker wrote off Kristen Wiig as “conventionally pretty” but not “hot.”
When she picked out Heidi Gardner, Jahelis said the actress often takes “super-hot and super-dumb” roles on the show but is “not that pretty.”
“I guess, technically, [she’s] the most conventionally hot person — like, hot female — on this cast,” the TikToker added.
To drive her point home, Jahelis picked out male comedian Jimmy Fallon and claimed he’s a “conventionally super hot guy.” She also clubbed Andy Samberg, Jason Sudeikis, and Bowen Yang in the list of “hot” male comedians.

In the viral video, Jahelis’ main point of contention was that people cannot accept a woman being funny and hot at the same time.
“To be considered funny, you have to be more funny than you are hot. And if you’re more hot than you are funny, then it boils down to you just not being funny at all,” Jahelis said in her analysis.
She also wondered in the video whether the show deliberately avoided hiring hot women because of misogyny — “once we see women as super funny, we have a hard time seeing them as also both sexy and attractive,” she argued.

The TikToker’s video went viral and reached the nooks and crannies of the Internet, catching the attention of SNL stars as well.
After current SNL member Sarah Sherman scrolled through her feed and came across Jahelis’ video, she responded with a sarcastic retort on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Just found out I’m not hot. Please give me and my family space to grieve privately and uglily at this time,” Sarah wrote.
Meanwhile, Chloe Troast, a new cast member, re-shared a snippet of Jahelis’ video before humorously singing her rendition of Christina Aguilera’s hit song, “Beautiful.”

Many fans joined the hot discussion and offered the names of a number of cast members that they found “hot” on the show.
“Kate McKinnon??!!! Melissa Villasenor?! Amy Poehler?!?? Kristen Wig?!!! helloOoOo,” one said, while another added, “Ego Nwodim is literally drop dead gorgeous.
“Have you SEEN CHLOE FINEMAN. She’s so gorgeous,” quipped another comment.
“Julia Louis Dreyfus is one of the hottest women of all time?” a fourth comment said.
Another wrote, “Kate McKinnon is unironically one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever seen.”
Chloe Troast had also briefly flipped off the camera in her response

Jahelis deleted her initial video, but not before it blew up and made her the subject of nationwide headlines, prompting her to post another video where she brazenly declared that she was not going to apologize for her statements.
“I never expected that video to go viral. Had I known, I would’ve maybe articulated myself a little better. I was expecting to have a dialogue with my community who is use [sic] to my unfiltered opinions that rarely come from a place of malice,” Jahelis said, quoting a long-winded response she wrote to a journalist.
“In return for being brave enough to share a peak [sic] into what is the magical colorful wonderland that I call my mind, I have received comments calling me ugly, fat, a trunk full of racially charged insults, etc. (I stopped reading the comments so I’m not sure what other creative ways they’ve thought to insult me),” she said.

Jahelis said she was bullied for the video and had to see her comments section peppered with racial insults for her remarks.
“You know what they say, no good deed goes unpunished! Unfortunately, for everyone involved, bullying and racial insults have not swayed me and instead I would love to double down. And I agree with them, calling a group of mostly white Women ‘not that hot’ makes me deserving of fatphobic, slut shaming, racial insults,” she said. “They’ve really shown me!”
“Ironically enough, the other half of the comments were people replying ‘SNL doesn’t hire hot women because hot women aren’t funny.’ Proving the exact point that I was trying to make in my video. Women are not allowed to be considered sexy, funny, and smart the way that men are. They need to pick a thing and stick to it.”
Sarah Sherman humorously quipped she needed time to “uglily” grieve after finding out she’s “not hot”

Jahelis believes the racially charged comments on her video are the “perfect example of performative feminism that only cares about ‘everyone being nice to each other’ and not actually making changes that improve the lives of women.”
“In conclusion, I would like to apologise to no one and will go on living in a world wehre [sic] apparently Tina Fey looks like Megan Fox,” she said.
“Welp. Thanks for the press ! I guess,” the TikToker wrote in the caption.
“They are all hot,” some fans expressed in response to Jahelis’ video
Who the f**k cares? Stop making stupid people famous. Stop being a trash tabloid site. Stop hiring garbage jOuRnAlIStS.
Right? Who cares that "The TikToker named Jahelis" thinks these women aren't "hot"? First of all, whatever "hot" means is subjective. Second of all, why does she think her negative opinion is so important? Insulting people isn't cool. (More importantly, why does Bored Panda think this makes for good content?)

Idea to make the world a better place: Ignore everything that any Influencer and tiktoker says.
Does this lady have nothing better to do than to put down the women on SNL? Does she think they won't see the video?
Says the woman who isn’t even that attractive herself. I didn’t know hotness and humor were supposed to be correlated? Ugh can women just exist without being picked on for not being a 10, especially by other women? Man that woman must really be insecure to project like that.
Hey bored panda. Any chance you can actually listen to everyone and post stuff we actually care about / want to see. 🤔🤔
Seriously, Jahelis, you're not exactly centerfold material yourself. Ever consider a burka when in public?
Jesus, what a bad story. But also, I don't know that Carl Fredricksen over here has room to talk.
What an atrocious take. I'm sorry she feels blindsided at everyone coming for her, but her argument is ludicious, her points make no sense, she's approached a sensitive topic with all the delicacy of a semi-trailer, and all she managed to do is insult the people she appears to be trying (in her own bizarre way) to side with? Like, imagine if somebody came into my work and said to me and my (predominantly female) office "oh wow, it's so horrible how your bosses are obviously too misogynistic to hire intelligent women, I'm sorry you have to work in that culture". What would you even say to that??? Unhinged.
I dont disagree with her point about many people not being able to accept someone having both incredible superficial looks and being talent/funny. And way too many people are willfully misinterpreting what's being said. But going about it this way with these examples is a hilarious failure. Aside from if SNL hired some conventionally attractive model type and this person didn't think they were funny (to their personal standard) they'd complain that member was only hired for their looks. Also, Sarah Sherman is gorgeious (among other cast members, obviously).
I see zero point to this article? Apart from ragehate on someone who's comment would be deemed mysogynistic had they been from a man? Slow day at BP it seems...
The main problem with social media is that people get this idea that the whole world should be informed about every little half-baked stupid notion that occurs to them, and then they get surprised when people don't fall all over themselves to tell them how brilliant that stupid thought was. This person is acting like a frivolous narcissist who has a platform she didn't earn and is using it to tell people far more successful than her that they don't meet her standards of "hotness" as if anyone would care. Before social media only her 3 shallow friends at lunch would have been exposed to that drivel. Now we all have to see it.
Further evidence (if any were needed) that TikTok is a repository for the cerebrally challenged. This (distinctly NOT hot) moron is a waste of space and time.
Jesus what a bad story. But also, I don't know that Carl Fredricksen over here has room to talk about who is hot or not.
excluding their guests, the number of stunning women when reported to the total of young ones present is indeed small, but this might be because they are limited to a special demographic - comedians - and they are forced to cover for people expressing a large spectrum of face expressions and statuses. the only stunning members coming to my mind are cecily strong and vanessa bayer. i will add more if i remember. nasim pedrad also comes close, jenny slate isnt beautiful but is atractive in more ways, and 1-2 of the actresses playing in the 70s-early 80s looked very well back then.
