Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark no longer has this Saturday Night Live distinction.
One such example is that Clark appeared on NBC's iconic "Saturday Night Live" show back in April of 2024, shortly after her college basketball career ended. She showed up on SNL's "Weekend Update" segment right after Michael Che said, “The University of Iowa announced that basketball star Caitlin Clark will have her jersey retired and replaced with an apron.
" “You make a lot of jokes about women’s sports. Don’t you, Michael?” Clark said. When Che responded by noting that, “I wouldn’t say a lot. It’s not on the regular," Colin Jose played a brief clip of all the women's sports jokes that Che has made.After that, Clark had Che read several jokes that she had apparently written. One of them was, “The Indiana Fever have the first pick in this Monday’s draft. A reminder that the Indiana Fever is a WNBA team, and not what Michael Che gave to dozens of women at Purdue University.” After a couple more jokes, Clark shared a heartfelt message about the WNBA stars that came before her. Her SNL cameo ended with her giving Che an autographed pink apron and then cracking a joke about him still not being in a relationship.Hilary Knight and Megan Keller appeared on SNL's February 28 show, alongside men's hockey stars Quinn and Jack Hughes and the show's host, Connor Storrie .
