One of the newest additions to the SNL cast, joining in 2023, Chloe Troast arrived with a strong background in sketch and musical comedy. She quickly made an impression with her powerful singing voice and her ability to play earnest, slightly unhinged characters. Her ‘Weekend Update’ character, a woman who is constantly being interrupted by her own internal monologue sung as a dramatic ballad, was an early highlight. Troast’s theatrical energy and willingness to go big marked her as a promising and versatile new talent. But unfortunately, SNL’s gigantic modern cast swallowed her up and snuffed out what should have been a starring role.
