As Saturday Night Live enters its 51st season in 2025, the iconic sketch comedy show has welcomed a number of new cast members, along with several returning repertory players. Among them is Chloe Fineman, who is now entering her sixth season with SNL.
Fineman, known for her impressive impersonation skills, recently revealed that she auditioned for the show by performing a Reese Witherspoon impression, which ultimately helped her secure a spot on the cast. Just a few years later, Fineman had the unexpected opportunity to meet Witherspoon in person backstage and showcase her uncanny portrayal of the actress.

The SNL star's ability to capture the mannerisms and vocal qualities of various celebrities, from JoJo Siwa to Timothée Chalamet, has made her one of the most talented impressionists on the show in the past decade.
