Chloe Fineman is Somebody


 In case you weren't aware, Chloe Fineman is on SNL. I'm glad I saw this story because if I hadn't, I might have gone my entire life without ever knowing her name or hearing anything about her, or know she existed.

I imagine being on SNL these days is like being a librarian at some fancy school or something somewhere. You get to stand around drinking wine with people that have sweaters draped across their shoulders and they all discuss "books" and about how they imagine it would be good for people that aren't them to volunteer for various things while they all sound like Thurston Howell when they talk.

Oh and by the by Elon Musk made her cry (eye roll emoji)...

Fineman said that Musk had been brutally critical of her work during a late night writing session. 

'You made I, Chloe Fineman bust into tears because I stayed up late writing a sketch, I was so excited, I came in, I asked if you had any questions and you stared at me like you were firing me from Tesla and were like 'It's not funny.'''

That!? That's what made her cry? He didn't threaten her, her didn't try to get her removed from her job?  He didn't buy the orphanage where she grew up and bulldoze it to the ground so he could replace it with a toxic waste dump? By the way, Chloe Fineman is apparently 36 years old and not 11 like I originally thought despite the fact that she cried because somebody criticized her. 

I don't know how you could be simultaneously tough enough to be a comic in supposedly super tough New York, and having some guy you don't really know make you cry by saying something you wrote wasn't funny. But I suppose that's the world we live in today
