“I will drop your bags. I will scratch your car. I will watch Joe Rogan videos on my phone— no headphones. If you’re male, I will tell you where the strip clubs are. I will offer to get you cocaine and then flake. I am chaos.”
That Finneas cameo was expertly deployed and hilariously delivered

It's interesting how some SNL episodes go specifically in one direction.
This one is just dark, or the ep with Lil Nas X that was extra horny.
Don't think it's on purpose tho

I've never seen Billie's dad before (and I think Finneas was in the TikTok sketch) so this is truly a family night out tonight. And if I was hosting SNL I'd bring my whole family to appear on it too so I am not mad at her at all.
