Michaela Zee Chloe Fineman claimed in a now-deleted TikTok post that Elon Musk made her cry when he hosted “Saturday Night Live.” Back in August, Fineman’s “SNL” co-star Bowen Yang revealed on “Watch What Happens Live” that a male host once made “multiple cast members cry” during a table-read for the sketch comedy series. “This man who…this person, this host made multiple cast members cry on Wednesday during the, before the table-read, because he hated the ideas,” Yang said when asked on the late-night talk show about the worst “SNL” host behavior he’s ever witnessed.

He later called the experience “terrible.” In a video posted (and deleted) on TikTok on Monday, Fineman named Musk — who hosted in May 2021 — as said “SNL” host after he criticized Dana Carvey’s impression of him over the weekend and said the show has been “dying slowly for years, as they become increasingly out of touch with reality.” “OK, I just saw some news article about Elon Musk being like butt-hurt about ‘SNL’ and his impression, but I’m, like, you’re clearly watching the show.

Like, what are you talking about?” Fineman said at the beginning of the video. “And I’m like, you know what? I’m gonna come out and say at long last that I’m the cast member that he made cry.

And he’s the host that made someone cry. Maybe there’s others.” Fineman seemingly referred to the coverage of Yang’s appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” saying that she “saw some articles and stuff” about the situation at “SNL.” “I was like, I’m not gonna say anything.
