"Was expecting the set to be quite bigger": Caitlin Clark pokes fun at Michael Che while spilling more beans on SNL appearance

Caitlin Clark is inarguably the biggest sensation in America right now. From revolutionizing women’s basketball, Clark has ice in her veins when she steps on the basketball court. Clark has a nerve for big stage and perhaps that is why she expected the SNL set to be bigger.

Recently, the basketball sensation from Iowa made a guest appearance on an episode of Saturday Night Live. She was joined by Michael Che and Colin Jost on the set. After Che made jokes about women’s basketball and Iowa choosing to retire Clark’s jersey, Caitlin Clark did not shy away from making fun of Che.

After getting drafted No.1 by the Indiana Fever in the 2024 WNBA Draft, Clark gave her impression of the set of SNL. The NCAA star said that while the experience was super fun for her, she also expected the set to be bigger than what she witnessed.

“It was super fun. I got there, flew right from LA, went to the set. Was expecting the set to be quite bigger,” Clark said.

Clark has ice in her veins when it comes to facing her opponents on the basketball court. However, she admitted that despite several rehearsals, she was nervous at the thought of appearing before the camera.

Clark has been a fan of the show since her childhood and it was a big opportunity for her to meet the cast and get out some ruthless jokes on Che. Now the Indiana Fever star, Caitlin Clark also thanked all the previous WNBA stars who had an impact on her and revolutionized women’s basketball.
