'SNL' Had a Lot of Jokes About Sydney Sweeney's Boobs (UPDATE)

UPDATED 5/22, 10:00 p.m. ET: Saturday Night Live cast member Chloe Fineman revealed she pitched the heavily criticized Hooters sketch.

"Sydney Sweeney, I pitched her the Hooters idea, where I was like, maybe work at Hooters, and we're counting tips," Fineman told Dana Carvey and David Spade on the Fly on the Wall podcast, per Entertainment Weekly. "I get $20 and you're like, 'Cool, I made like $40,000.' And then she DM'd me, to write it, and then we got in so much trouble for, like, sexualizing Sydney Sweeney."

"But it was your pervert over here," Fineman added in an accent.

SNL came under fire for featuring Sweeney in several sketches that made her physical appearance the focal point. The Hooters sketch may have been the most egregious of them all, with the actress playing a waitress at the restaurant who receives a lot more money than her co-workers because of her looks.

Sweeney was asked by Variety about the conversation over her body after her Saturday Night Live hosting debut and whether the discussion ever reaches her.

"I see it, and I just can't allow myself to have a reaction," she said. "I don't know how to explain it—I’m still trying to figure it out myself. People feel connected and free to be able to speak about me in whatever way they want, because they believe that I've signed my life away. That I'm not on a human level anymore, because I'm an actor. That these characters are for everybody else, but then me as Sydney is not for me anymore. It's this weird relationship that people have with me that I have no control or say over."

Syndey Sweeney made her Saturday Night Live hosting debut last week, and a good chunk of the material was focused on one thing in particular.

The 26-year-old Euphoria and Anyone But You actress put her comedic chops on display during the March 2 episode of SNL, during which there was no shortage of jokes about her boobs. There was an entire sketch framed around her chest with her portraying a Hooters waitress who is terrible at her job while still managing to rake in the tips, as seen above. Her co-workers—played by Chloe Fineman, Sarah Sherman, and Bowen Yang—brought in a modest amount in tips, but she brought in $36,000.

"Is that low?" she asked, seemingly unaware of why so many patrons were showering her with tips. She insisted that it's all about "great service," but immediately proved otherwise when she spilled beer everywhere and poured some of it into a man's mouth. "Oh, awesome. I've been sober for 22 years and that's over now!" he exclaimed.

Her opening monologue—which had a not-so-subtle dig at Madame Web—also featured its fair share of boob-based humor. She mentioned that her parents were supportive of her acting career from day one because she presented them with a PowerPoint presentation with a 5-point plan. Audition, get an agent, do commercials and short films, then get her SAG card. Failing that, however, she had a backup plan which simply read: "Show boobs."

One of the pre-taped sketches saw her admit that she's got a crush on Bowen Yang, although she was insistent that she wouldn't hit on him because he's gay. "Bowen just plays straight on the show because it's a shortcut to laughs," Heidi Gardner told her. When she got an opportunity to flirt with him, she asked him what's his type and he replied, "Oh you know, blonde, smart... heavy naturals."
