News of tension between the cast adds a new twist to Chloe Fineman’s emotional departure from Saturday Night Live
page six It was reported that, while Fineman formed strong friendships with many of the cast members, a source claimed that she did not always click with everyone on the show. “Khloe can rub people the wrong way at times,” the insider alleged. Adding, “She got along really well with some of the cast, but not everyone liked her.”
The publication also said that the same source claimed, “Some cast members felt like they expected people to accommodate them and assumed everyone would accommodate to their schedules and preferences.” However, the insider added, “It wasn’t a huge fight or anything like that.” A second source denied those claims, telling the outlet, “There’s no truth to it.” According to the report, representatives for Fineman and NBC did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Before the backstage claims surfaced, Fineman shared a heartfelt goodbye on Instagram. “After 7 amazing seasons at ‘SNL’ I’ve decided it’s time for my next chapter,” he wrote, before calling his time on the show “the greatest privilege of my life.” He also reflected on the emotional ups and downs of sketch comedy. Jokingly, he added, “You cry uncontrollably when your sketch doesn’t get picked. You storm into the producer’s office and tell them they’ve made the biggest mistake of their life. You call everyone you know to complain. And then you look back a few years later and it was a sketch called ‘Lipstick for Fat Dogs’.”
His announcement received support from many current and former cast members. Marcelo Hernandez commented, “Congratulations Carlotaaa,” while Ben Marshall wrote, “SNL legend.” Former cast member Ego Nwodim said, “Congratulations Chloe!!!”
The report also states that Enwodim and Heidi Gardner have previously talked about the competitive nature of SNL. During Enwodim’s Thanks Dad podcast in 2025, Gardner explained, “We’re human, so we have egos, we want things for ourselves, we want to be successful, and there weren’t a lot of opportunities where we were able to succeed exactly the way we wanted to at the same time.” Enwodim agreed, saying, “It’s very easy to get caught up in ‘SNL’ with your own stuff and what you’re getting and what you’re not getting.”
publication first reported Fineman accepted a role in David E. Kelley’s upcoming Netflix drama Myron Bolitar, which an industry insider described as a quick decision. “It all unfolded in one day… it happened very quickly,” the source said. “Chloe kept going back and forth, but it was a smart move. She knew she couldn’t say no. After seven seasons on the show, and with all the new faces, it was probably the best move for her.”
