The SNL sketch made light of Siwa’s rebrand, with Fineman dressed in the same outfit from Siwa’s music video “Karma.” “That’s right, Colin,” she tells host Colin Jost. Some viewers argued that the show’s mockery of Siwa crossed the line, with one YouTube commentator writing that the skit was “starting to border on straight up bullying”. Chloe Fineman as Jojo Siwa on ‘SNL' “Guys it’s over SNL killed Jojo Siwa we can all go home now,” another person joked. Others took issue with Fineman’s vocal impression, which appeared to imbue the character of “Siwa” with a speech impediment.
