JoJo Siwa Has Officially Gotten the 'SNL' Treatment

JoJo Siwa’s much-lampooned “rebrand” might have actually been a success after all, since it has now earned the prestigious cultural honor of making it to Saturday Night Live. Chloe Fineman hit the Weekend Update desk in her best JoJo Siwa drag — rocking her “edgy” KISS-inspired look that she wore to the iHeartRadio Music Awards. “That’s right Colin, I’m a bad girl now,” she said. “It’s a pretty big change. I used to be rainbow sparkles and now I’m black sparkles. I look like if a figure skater joined a street gang.” But this rebrand isn’t just visual, she assured Jost, saying, “I even do cigarettes,” before trying and failing to appear to smoke. But you might be wondering, just how old is Siwa? “Well, from 2011 to 2023, I was eight. But now I’m 20 and gay. I’m the first gay girl in the world!” she proclaimed.
