I'm voting Elon Musk.

I would like to think no one wasted tears over his opinion of comedy. But I'm sure he was unpleasant.

[delleve]

True. But honestly sometimes just people being cruel and unrelenting is enough to make someone cry.

Also I just hate Elon and could see him thinking "comedy is giving each other a hard time! It's roasting!" And like... aggressively doing that and being a huge dick.

Jonathan Majors is my guess, mostly bc I don’t remember any of his sketches and instead his episode was all about Taylor Swift since she was the musical guest and Red TV had just come out.

also every cast has this but I think Bowen is the first one to like out and out play coy about who it was lol. Pete Davidson cracked a lot of jokes about how shit Trump was as a host. Bill Hader like fucking hated Bieber, the original cast had Milton Berle, I think the 90s cast had Steven Seagal, Tina Fey hated Paris Hilton and I think Maya and Fred and Seth confirmed that Paris never asked anyone any like personal questions or made conversation with them lol.

Lol Tina would hate Paris Hilton.

[bttrsondaughter]

her story basically is that Paris would not stop asking the writers to write sketches where she made fun of all the girls she hated, like she suggested a sketch where they made fun of Jessica Simpson for “being fat” which. I mean it is Tina’s wheelhouse to be obnoxiously evil to famous women she hates, but I’m sure she didn’t like seeing her attitude reflected back to her through Paris Hilton

Irony is her name!

I saw people on threads guessing Elon musk and I know we all wanna hate him, but I think that man is too stupid to hate SNL ideas. Like SNL humor is perfect for him.

[peddlestools]

also he really, really, really wants funny people to like him

remember when he used to pay nathan fielder to hang around him?

[xdeedots]

He paid Nathan fielder???? 💀

[peddlestools]

idk if he actually paid him!! it's my way of trying to understand why nathan fielder agreed to hang out with him

WAIT.

it only just occurred to me now that his character in the curse is probably partially based on elon!!

[luvthatdrtywata]

I’d guess Eddie Murphy cuz it has to be someone they actually had respect for.

[bttrsondaughter]

I went to look back at the goodnights from his episode because sometimes you can just tell if someone was a bad guest by how far away the cast stands (when Chris Brown was the musical guest in 2011 most of the cast stands very far away lol), but his episode had SO MANY cameos you can barely see the normal cast so. a mystery!

[healthypanda]

Yeah, this is a really good guess!

[forrealdoh]

Wasn't Eddie Murphy a cast member?

[notoriousreign]

People on Twitter are speculating it’s Jonathan Majors and I wouldn’t be surprised.
