""I feel a lot less crazy there, as you learn the ups and downs and how to just genuinely enjoy it. Comedy is at its best when you're being loose and at its worst when you're really tense and overthinking things. All my best stuff I've ever gotten on the show has been Plan D or 'I don't know, how about this?' It's not the thing I'd spent all night meticulously trying to make work.""
""That morning, we learned the whole dance in, I don't know, 30 minutes," Fineman, 37, recalls. "It was true fake-it-till-you-make-it.""
""What drew me to this move was: You don't really see a girl explaining this stuff. My educators were these older girls being like, ' That's how you give a blow job,' Fineman says. 'It was fun getting back to un-prude Chloe in high school, teaching this kid the ropes in the way that my friends always did.'""
Chloe Fineman reached her 100th Saturday Night Live episode and, six years into the job, feels more comfortable, learning to enjoy the show's ups and downs. She believes comedy succeeds when performers stay loose and avoids overthinking, and she credits many strong bits to spontaneous, Plan D moments. Fineman appears in two 2024 films: a brief Freakier Friday cameo as a dance instructor learned in minutes, and a central role in Hulu's Summer of 69 as a stripper-mentor who teaches a teen sexual techniques and self-confidence. She grew up in California's Bay Area and views the film as a love letter to high school friends.
