Jacob Elordi And Chloe Fineman Heat Up SNL With Steamy Make out Session!
SNL’s Chloe Fineman, 35, and guest host Jacob Elordi, 26, engaged in a make-out session towards the end of a funny skit about a Bachelorette-style show where the guys are all “short kings,” except for one tall contestant.
Elordi kicked off the first show of 2024 with a spoof of The Bachelor called “Crown Your Short King.” Fineman, portraying the eligible bachelorette Tiffany, decided to look beyond stereotypes and give shorter men a chance to win her heart. Elordi, standing at 6’5″, played the role of Jackson, a laid-back guy Fineman quickly picked. The other contestants besides Elordi, played by Bowen Yang, Molly Kearney, and Marcello Hernandez, appeared pretty bummed out, partly because the show host Mikey Day made some teasing remarks.
When it came time for Elordi to express his feelings to Fineman, the words he chose didn’t seem to matter much. “Tiffany, from the bottom of my heart, your body is just OK.” With a cheerful response, Tiffany exclaimed, “Yeah, that’s fine. You win!” Elordi then swept Tiffany off her feet, and the two shared a somewhat over-the-top kissing scene as they exited.
Some people who watch Saturday Night Live are split on whether they liked or disliked the make out scene between Elordi and Fineman. Many did not find it funny. They expressed their strong feelings on X (formerly called Twitter). Here are a few replies from them:
In this funny skit, SNL humorously tackled stereotypes and showed the enjoyable part of the performance. However, some fans were furious because they didn’t find it funny.
Jacob Elordi Hilariously Roasts ‘Saltburn‘ Grave Scene In SNL Monologue
Jacob Elordi hosted Saturday Night Live and kept it short and sweet. He’s known for his role in the film Saltburn, which went viral. In his monologue, he joked about the awkward grave scene in the movie.
Elordi reminded everyone he’s famous for playing Felix Catton in Saltburn. He said, “You might know me from ‘Saltburn,’ not from watching the movie, but from seeing TikToks, like this scene…”
A quick clip showed a n*ked Barry Keoghan, who plays Oliver, having intimate moments with the dirt on Felix’s grave. Elordi clarified, “I was the one in the grave.”
He added, “If you saw the movie, thank you. If you watched it with your parents, I’m sorry. And if you watched it with your girlfriend, you’re welcome,” with a smile.
Elordi admitted he could be a better public speaker and took questions from the audience. Fans praised his work in Priscilla as Elvis and one fan just wanted a moment to stare at him. At the end, Elordi expressed gratitude for hosting the NBC sketch show.
