During a Saturday Night Live episode aired on December 9, cast member Chloe Fineman brought forth a quirky yet intimate Christmas gift idea during the "Weekend Update" segment. She suggested recreating Julia Stiles' iconic dance routine from "Save the Last Dance" as a surprising gesture for a significant other.
Fineman's Impromptu Performance
Transitioning from a festive Mrs. Claus dress to a black leotard and sweatpants akin to Stiles' attire in the film, Fineman delved into a near-perfect replication of the dance moves from the 2001 movie. Her rendition was accompanied by playful banter with fellow anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che.
Colin Jost's Playful Approval
Adding to the humor, Colin Jost jokingly extended a whimsical welcome to Juilliard for Sara (Julia Stiles' character) after witnessing Fineman's reenactment.
Julia Stiles' Appearance and Excitement
Julia Stiles herself joined the scene, confirming Sara's success in securing admission to Juilliard. The segment concluded with Stiles and Fineman's shared excitement over the humorous approval and the nostalgic nod to the iconic movie moment.
