‘SNL’ Promo: Chloe Fineman Is Crushing On Paul Mescal

Saturday Night Live castmember Chloe Fineman can’t pronounce Paul Mescal‘s name, but that doesn’t stop her from crushing on him in a new promo.

As the Gladiator II star introduces musical guest Shaboozey, Fineman interjects with a seeming non-sequitur based on her own thoughts.

“Thank you, but I have a boyfriend,” she says to Mescal.

“I wasn’t asking you…” Mescal begins before Fineman interrupts with, “Fine, give me a week. I can make him go away.”

Shaboozey, who’s been observing the back-and-forth, then explains to Mescal, “I think she’s just hearing what she wants to hear.”

You can watch it below.

Mescal will be making his first guest hosting appearance this Saturday, December 7.

Former castmembers Chris Rock and Martin Short will finish out the year. Rock will host December 14 alongside musical guest Gracie Abrams, while Short will host December 21 alongside Hozier as musical guest.

Saturday Night Live is produced in association with Broadway Video. The creator and executive producer is Lorne Michaels.

The show will mark its 50th anniversary with a primetime special on Sunday, February 16.
