Chloe Fineman has a well-established reputation for doing wickedly funny celebrity impressions, from her killer Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears takes to her wacky, mega-energy JoJo Siwa, eerily accurate Timothée Chalamet, as well as perfect takes on Nicole Kidman, Elizabeth Olsen and, of course, her daffy Jennifer Coolidge.

So when Entertainment Tonight asked the comedian earlier this week if she was working on dialing in an impression of over-the-top pop star Chappell Roan for this weekendâs episode where the âHot To Goâ singer will be the musical guest alongside six-time host comedian John Mulaney, the typically game-for-anything Fineman wasnât so sure.
âI might have one [an impression], but I also respect her too much that Iâm like, ya knowâŠ.â Fineman said of Roan, whose brash, colorful stage persona seems ripe for a Fineman take. âI feel like I have to get a temperature check,â Fineman added about what sounds like a game-time decision.

Fineman also said she was psyched for the combo of Roan and Mulaney â a stand-up star who was is also a former SNL writer â admitting, âthat wasnât necessarily on my vision board, the two of them together, so Iâm excited.â In September, Fineman wore her Roan fandom on her sleeve, telling People that she â definitely had a Chappell Roan summer, as we all did⊠So, I was like, I canât believe I might get to be in the same building and sing âPink Pony Club,â you know? So weâll see. Hopefully that will happen.â
Saturdayâs show will mark Roanâs SNL debut. The singer appeared to tease her next era on Tuesday in an Instagram post in which she shared some selfies and hinted at the follow-up to breakthrough The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess album.
âAlbum kinda popped off imo but it is time to welcome a hot new bombshell into the villa,â she captioned the pics, in a reference to the Love Island catchphrase welcoming new contestants that led fans to speculate that sheâs working on her sophomore LP. Producer Dan Nigro also revealed that the album is in the works earlier this month when he said the pair had completed five songs already, including a âfun, up-tempo country song,â a âcouple of balladsâ and a âmid-tempo rock song.â
Billie Eilish isnât interested in going viral on TikTok â at least thatâs the message she gives in a Saturday Night Live sketch about the social media platform.
During SNLâs Michael Keaton-hosted episode on Oct. 19, the 22-year-old pop star made a cameo in a nearly four-minute sketch, aptly titled âTikTok,â in which she brushes off influencer Harry Daniels (played by Bowen Yang), whoâs made a name for himself by singing to random celebrities on TikTok.
âExcuse me, Miss Eilish, can I sing to you?â Bowenâs Daniels requests as he accosts Eilish in hallway and quickly belts out a tune. Clearly annoyed, the âWhat Was I Made For?â hitmaker quickly interrupts him with a lucrative request. âHereâs 10 grand, please stop following me,â she says, handing him a wad of cash and scurrying off.

Daniels has indeed encountered Eilish in real life, as seen in videos on his TikTok account, which boasts 1.6 million followers. During the SNL skit, Bowenâs Daniels also sings to Maya Rudolphâs Kamala Harris and James Austin Johnsonâs Donald Trump
The pre-recorded âTikTokâ sketch featured a person doomscrolling through their social media tread, encountering clips of a cat dancing to SNL cast memberâs Marcello Hernandez viral cover of Sabrina Carpenterâs âEspresso,â Chloe Fineman playing Call Her Daddy podcast host Alex Cooper and Kenan Thompson portraying a foodie reviewing a Fruity Pebble-covered chicken sandwich from his car.
Elsewhere during the episode, Eilish appeared for the fourth time as musical guest, performing Hit Me Hard and Soft album tracks âBirds of a Featherâ and âWildflowerâ alongside her brother Finneas. She previously performed on SNL in 2019 and 2023, pulling double-duty in 2021 as host and musical guest. Her appearance with Keaton follows last weekâs Ariana Grande-hosted episode, which featured live performances from Stevie Nicks.

Billie Eilish made a celestial appearance on Saturday Night Live. The 22-year-old pop star dropped by Studio 8H on Oct. 19 for her fourth time as musical guest on the long-running NBC sketch comedy show, delivering a pair of out-of-this-world live performances from her third album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, which dropped in May.

Ariana Grande hosted SNL for a second time and starred in seven sketches that made it to air Saturday night (Oct. 12) in an episode that seemed made for the skilled impressionist.

Liam Gallagher isnât amused by Saturday Night Liveâs take on his tumultuous relationship with brother Noel.
The long-feuding Oasis siblings were portrayed by SNL cast members James Austin Johnson (Noel) and Sarah Sherman (Liam) during the âWeekend Updateâ segment of the long-running NBC sketch comedy showâs episode on Oct. 12.
In the sketch, âWeekend Updateâ host Colin Jost interviews the brothers about the North American leg of their 2025 Oasis reunion tour and whether theyâll break up before the launch.
âIâm cool if heâs cool,â Johnsonâs Noel responds. âIâm cool, Iâm cool, Iâm cooler than you are,â Shermanâs Liam hits back. Unconvinced, Jost says, âGreat. So, thatâs a no.â
Trending on Billboard
The skit continues with Noel and Liam mostly bickering and answering questions with the lyrics of âWonderwall,â while only agreeing on topics like cartoon characters, their favorite Sex in the City boyfriend, and the best Will Smith film.
Shermanâs Liam also claims their feud began at Londonâs Wembley Stadium in 1993 when Noel told the Spice Girls that his brother had a âcrooked knob â you said me knob bended like Beckham!â
As expected, the real Liam Gallagher didnât take too kindly to SNLâs interpretation of his relationship with Noel. âAre they meant to be comedians,â he commented on X (formerly Twitter) early Sunday under a post linked to the skit.
Oasis announced their long-awaited reunion tour in late August. The global trek is scheduled to launch in September 2025 with multiple dates in the United Kingdom, followed by performances in North America, Europe, and Australia.
Oasis split in 2009 after years of massive chart success and tabloid headlines in the U.K. tied to the Gallagher siblingsâ fierce rivalry, with main songwriter older brother Noel quitting the band after a backstage fight with Liam at a show near Paris that year. The brothers havenât performed live since then, though they often play Oasis songs during their solo gigs and with their side bands and, until the reunion announcement, continued to snipe at each other online and in the press.

Ariana Grande was full of impressions during her latest hosting gig on Saturday Night Live.

Ariana Grande brought her spot-on celebrity impressions to Saturday Night Live.
The Wicked star returned to the long-running NBC sketch comedy show as host on Oct. 12, where she reprised some of her hilarious pop star impressions during the opening monologue. Donning a beautiful pink gown, the 31-year-old superstar opened the episode by making it crystal clear that she was just hosting and not serving as the eveningâs musical guest.
âIâm not going to make this about me,â Grande told the Studio 8H audience. âIâm just going to have fun, take it easy and keep it low key.â

Moments later, she was subtly handed a microphone and began to break out into song, which included her favorite musical notes âC, D, B, A or Gâ and, of course, the opening line of Britney Spearsâ 1998 smash hit ââŠBaby One More Time.â She then belted out more impressive (and hilarious) impersonations of Miley Cyrus and Gwen Stefani.

Grandeâs song shifted to a more Broadway-style performance where she bumped into SNL cast member Bowen Yang, who was dressed as her Wicked character Glinda. âBowen, didnât anyone tell you? We cut the Wicked sketch!â she said to a disappointed Yang.
The âWe Canât Be Friendsâ singer once again confirmed that she wouldnât be performing any of her music on the show. âIâm not going to do a duet tonight, so please donât bring out Stevie Nicks,â she sang, referencing the nightâs musical guest. âWorth a shot!â
Grande will appear in the upcoming live action adaptation of the Broadway musical Wicked, in which sheâll play Glinda opposite Cynthia Erivoâs Elphaba. Yang will play the role of Pfannee in the Jon M. Chu-directed film. The movie hits theaters on Nov. 22.
This weekendâs stint marked Grandeâs second time helming SNL, following her hosting debut in 2016. After the release of her Billboard 200-topping album Eternal Sunshine earlier this year, the Grammy winner served as musical guest on a Josh Brolin-hosted episode of the show in March, and participated in a couple sketches, including a Moulin Rouge parody with Yang.
The next SNL episode on Oct. 19 will be hosted by Michael Keaton with returning musical guest Billie Eilish.

The #ComoLoDigas campaign looks to celebrate and display the various ways that Buchananâs 200% fans pronounce (and enjoy) the beverage, while demonstrating that âwhat may differentiate Latinos in language unites them in community,â the brand says in a press statement.
As a fellow 200%-er, the #ComoLoDigas campaign also has a personal connection for the actor.
âOne of the reasons that itâs been a really cool experience to work with Buchanonâs is the 200% campaign, which is just highlighting people that are 100% their culture or their parentsâ culture, and then also 100% American,â Hernandez says in an interview with Billboard. âI think a lot of first-generation people like myself can relate to that.â

Choosing Buchananâs Scotch Whiskey seemed like a natural choice for the comedian as it was a go-to for his family.
âYou spend a lot of time when youâre younger not drinking,â he says. âWhen you get old enough to drink, you just want something thatâs familiar. I think that this was really familiar to me because of the family parties I used to go to. Itâs like a household name, if you will.â

Part of the reason Buchananâs tapped Hernandez to be the face of the campaign was through their effort to bring younger Lantino Americans into the forefront â especially as Latino culture and language in the U.S. has evolved over the years. The campaign also hopes to unite the different communities within the culture by celebrating 200% pride and uniting everyone no matter what form (or sound). Within the campaign video, the brand spotlights the various ways in which people have been pronouncing âBuchananâsâ over the years âbased on their country of origin, cultural slang or even the neighborhoods they live in, ensuring the love for Buchananâs Whisky remains, no matter the pronunciation.â
Latino culture in the U.S. and language have evolved over the years, with younger Latino Americans celebrating our nuances, not to create division, but rather to celebrate 200% pride and uniting us no matter what form (or sound) it takes. Launching during Hispanic Heritage Month, the campaign is inspired by the various ways different communities
Below, ShopBillboard chats with Hernandez more about life as a cast member on SNL, his favorite artists and what he looks forward to most when Grande takes over as host.
You just had the premiere for the 50th season. Compared to last season, what was different about this premiere experience?
Well, this year we had Maya [Rudolph] and Andy Sandberg and Jim Gaffigan and Dana Carvie, who all stopped by to play characters of the Presidential race. Having them there set the tone for what season this is going to be and show you how important it is. I just think itâs beautiful, the relationship that people that have graduated from the show still have with it.
You also did a Bad Bunny impression for the premiere. Did he know about it beforehand?
I didnât tell him, but I did keep him in mind. I didnât want to ruin the little relationship that we do have, but it was fun. Heâs somebody that before I met him, I was just a huge fan. Itâs fun to dress up like somebody that youâre fan of.
What do you think is the secret to the perfect Bad Bunny impression?
I think thereâs probably different ways to do it, whether heâs on stage versus off stage. Off stage heâs definitely not like a a crazy loud person, maybe the way I am, so maybe turning myself down a couple notches and being a little more chill. He has a grace to him that is fun to watch, and itâs hard to throw him off.
And then looking forward, Ariana Grande is supposed to be hosting soon â any dream sketches with her?
I donât know if I have any dream sketches, but I do know that when I was 12 or 13, my family and I did a trip to LA, and we were at a restaurant and we saw her. Back then, my sister and I would probably watch her on Victorius and I remember just being like,âwe have to take a picture with her.â
We did. Thereâs this really old picture of really young me with Ariana. Any sketch that we do together will feel like a full circle moment.
Are there any musical guests youâre looking forward to seeing?
Personally, all I listen to is Latin music. I think just having any Latin artist come by would be beautiful and would definitely have me dancing at 8H.
