SNL Absolutely Nails Impression of 'White Lotus' Star Jennifer Coolidge
Even Coolidge is impressed.
Chloe Fineman as Jennifer Coolidge on Saturday Night Live.
Now that the latest White Lotus vacation has run its course, everyone just wants more of its star Jennifer Coolidge.
On the most recent episode of Saturday Night Live, Chloe Fineman impersonates the one and only Coolidge in a skit called Jennifer Coolidge Is Impressed by Christmas Stuff. The parody sees Fineman hilariously weigh in on various holiday items as Coolidge, and she really gets the nuances of the voice and facial expressions.
"Oh look at this, a big sock full of gifts," Fineman says. "You know, the ultimate stocking stuffer … is a foot."
Fineman's Coolidge doesn't find everything as charming as the stocking.
"Mmm, a big cup of eggnog," Fineman says. "Kinda weird."
After the show aired, the real Coolidge stepped in with a holiday take -- Fineman nailed her impression.
"Wow! A massive thanks to @NBCSNL!! and to the exceptionally brilliant impressionist Chloe Fineman with your hilarious imitation!!" Coolidge wrote in a tweet Sunday.
