JoJo Siwa has publicly reacted to Chloe Fineman’s impression of her during a Weekend Update segment on Saturday Night Live.
Weekend Update host Colin Jost began the segment by discussing Siwa’s first adult single, Karma, which she debuted at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
Siwa – who recently reunited with other Dance Moms stars for a special in New York City – took to her Instagram story to share her thoughts on Sunday.
‘ICONIC. I literally don’t know what to say. This is f***ing crazy. 3 and a half minute skit on SNL….’ Siwa said in the caption of her Instagram story post.
Fineman responded to Siwa’s response, adding, ‘@itsjojosiwa you are my spirit animal and ACTUALLY the most iconic.’

After Jost’s brief introduction, Fineman took to the Weekend Update, wearing a modified version of Siwa’s bizarre KISS-inspired look at the iHeartRadio awards.
Jost was faux-shocked at her wildly different appearance, as Fineman added, ‘That’s right Colin. I’m a bad girl now,’ as the crowd cheered for her.
Jost added this was a ‘very different look’ for her, showing a photo of the kinds of bright and colorful ensembles she’s been wearing for years.
‘Yeah yeah. It’s a pretty big change. I used to be rainbow sparkles and now I’m black sparkles,’ she said to laughs from the crowd.
She added that her look was like, ‘I look like a figure skater joined a street gang,’ while Jost joked, ‘I was gonna say it was like if Mad Max was on Broadway.’
Fineman asked Jost if her new look ‘scared him,’ and he said, ‘Yeah, but not in the way you were hoping.’
‘Yeah, I’m in my bad girl era now. I even do cigarettes,’ as Jost added that you can’t some there unless you’re Dave Chappelle.
He asked how people were reacting to her transformation, she said, ‘it’s been called, gutsy, brave and revolutionary,’ but when Jost asked who those quote were attributed to, she said, ‘Me. I’m very cocky. That’s what she said!’

‘But seriously Colin, I’ve completely reinvented myself and no one my age has done this,’ Fineman said.
Jost asked how old Siwa is, and she said, ‘Well, from 2011 to 2023 I was 8, but now I’m 20 and gay! I’m the first gay girl in the world! Bet you never met a gay girl before.’
Jost joked that a lot of the women he dated turned gay, and Fineman’s Siwa claimed she invented a new genre of music called ‘gay pop.’
When asked why she was doing this, Fineman said she’s an artist and she’s ‘holding a mirror up to society and then I’m holding that mirror up to myself thinking, whoa, that’s what I look like? Cause that’s crazy!’
