Something about Saturday Night Live and coffee just go hand-in-hand.
Chloe Fineman is the latest SNL star to team up with a coffee brand, partnering with Ninja to promote its new Ninja Luxe Café espresso, cold brew, and drip coffeemaker.
Leaning into reputation she has built as an expert impressionist on SNL, Fineman will appear in social content for Ninja that puts a “caffeinated twist” on popular trends, highlighting the idea that the Ninja Luxe Café offers “a drink for every vibe.”
As part of the collaboration, Fineman also made an in-person appearance at Ninja’s “House of Vibes,” an immersive experience the company staged in New York City last week.
The actress and comedian, who joined SNL in 2019, suggested that her experience on the sketch comedy series makes a coffee-based partnership a particularly fitting one for her. “Between late, chaotic nights in the writers’ room and my many different roles, having a 3-in-1 espresso, drip coffee, and cold brew machine with a drink for every vibe is a dream,” the self-described “espresso and coffee fanatic” said in a statement.
Fineman joins a few other SNL names who have taken on caffeinated collabs in recent months. Sketch group Please Don’t Destroy (made up of SNL writers Martin Herlihy, John Higgins, and Ben Marshall) collaborated with Dunkin’ earlier this summer for a set of social media ads. The company also just enlisted former cast member Kristen Wiig to promote its new Dunkalatte drink.
Fineman has been keeping a busy slate lately. She’s headed to Broadway in an SNL-filled production of Simon Rich‘s new play, All In; booked her first starring role in a feature with the Hulu comedy Summer of 69; will guest star on the upcoming Peacock series Laid; and will next appear in Francis Ford Coppola’s long-awaited sci-fi epic Megalopolis. This is all, of course, in addition to her role on Saturday Night Live, which returns for its milestone 50th season on September 28.
