‘SNL’ Stars Fire Back At Claim There Are No ‘Hot Women’ On The Cast

Cast members from “Saturday Night Live” have responded to a TikTok video claiming that the show has never hired a “hot woman” before.

Doubling down on her thoughts, the TikTok user then insisted that the same hotness rules don’t apply to the show’s male cast members before calling former “SNL” star Jimmy Fallon “a conventionally super hot guy.” She also nodded to Andy
