Before joining Saturday Night Live, Fineman had already attracted attention through comedy performances with The Groundlings and the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, as well as celebrity impression videos shared on social media. A graduate of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and the Stella Adler Studio of Acting, she steadily built a career in television and comedy before landing the role that introduced her to a national audience.
Her career has continued to expand while remaining part of the Saturday Night Live cast. In recent years, she appeared in projects including “Dickinson,” “Babylon,” “Megalopolis” and “Summer of 69,” while also lending her voice to animated productions.
