Chloe Fineman is an American actress, writer, and comedian who will be a featured player on the forty-fifth season of Saturday Night Live.
Life and career
Fineman was raised in Berkeley, California.[1] Her parents are painter Ellen Gunn and biotechnology executive David Fineman, and she has two sisters, visual artist Emma and CrossFit athlete Alexia (Leka).[1] She is Jewish, and growing up she attended a day camp associated with a Berkeley Reform synagogue.[1] While her father is Jewish, Fineman is "1/2 Wasp", as she has jokingly described herself.[2]
Fineman studied at the New York University Tisch School of the Arts, then moved to Los Angeles.[1] There, she performed in The Groundlings troupe's Sunday Company.[3][4] She also performed in "Characters Welcome" at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre.[5] In 2018, she was recognized as a "New Face" at the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal,[3][6] and she was nominated for Best Comedian at the 2019 Shorty Awards.[7] Her television appearances include Jane the Virgin and Search Party.[3]
She maintains an online presence known in particular for her impressions.[2][8][9][10] On Instagram, she has posted celebrity impressions as well as clips from her Groundlings work and stand-up comedy.[5] On YouTube, she has done character impressions.[4] In 2018, Vulture critic Luke Kelly-Cline wrote that after seeing Fineman do impressions of Meryl Streep and others, "As I found out, that extra bit of genius she possesses – that intangible thing that takes a good impression to a great impression – is rooted in her ability to create entirely original characters who feel as real as anyone you've ever met," concluding, "Chloe Fineman is absolutely one of the most talented new performers right now, and she's long overdue for a break."[11]
Fineman's addition to the cast of Saturday Night Live, a long-running NBC sketch-comedy show, as a featured player was announced on September 12, 2019, along with the additions of Shane Gillis and Bowen Yang.[12]
