Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman has a twin, and she’s hilarious

At President Biden’s inauguration last week, one woman stole the show. The 23 year old poet laureate Amanda Gorman was, in a word, perfection. Brilliant! Profound!

Now, imagine our delight when we discovered Amanda Gorman has a twin, Gabrielle, who is JUST as perfect, profound, and brilliant… and has a delightful series, Bell Parks, on YouTube. 

We. Are. Obsessed.

The series, filmed as a vlog with high energy and hilarious cutaways, follows college student Bell Parks on her journey to world domination. Or… a social media internship in Los Angeles.

You’re welcome in advance for introducing you to this gem:

SNL Just Hired Some Dope New Women

Season 43, baybee! We’re so excited for all the hot takes and spicy jokes that this year of Saturday Night Live has in store. And we can’t wait to meet the new cast and writers, which includes three rad ladies:  Heidi Gardner, Sam Jay, and Claire Friedman. So we put together a little introduction to the freshman class, so that you can go back to comedy school informed. Enjoy!

 

Heidi Gardner

She’s one of the stars of the animated show Super Mansion, and she’s already a veteran performer at The Groundlings. Basically she can do it all, including playing an over-it hotel clerk in this short:

 

Sam Jay

As a writer, Sam seems like she’s going to bring a whole new vibe to the old-as-hell show. Sam comes from the stand-up world and legit she is a genius at constructing jokes. You’re gonna love her set on Kimmel, in which she addresses white people on public transportation, Applebees, crying while black, cruises, and female ghostbusters.

 

Claire Friedman

The COO and executive in charge of the Lip Sync Franchise is a certified badass. She wrote for the Harvard Lampoon, worked with FX in the original programming department, and went from investment banker to comedy genius. Get the full Claire experience from her interview with The Broadcast!

And they’re gonna make your day like 600% better.

¡Vaya! Sofia Niño De Rivera Is Honestly The Funniest.

Sofia Niño De Rivera is one of the pioneers of the stand-up scene in Mexico, and we are 100% obsessed with her Netflix special Expuesta. She’s cool as hell, and we’re so glad she’s getting the exposure she deserves on Conan this week. Srsly, watch this set and then pray that she’s coming to a city near you, because America does NOT deserve Sofia.
