He also co-hosts a comedy pop-culture podcast “Las Culturistas.”

Fineman joined the cast of SNL for its 45th season. The comedian, actor and impressionist got her break performing in The Groundling’s Sunday Company troupe after graduating from college. She was recognized as a “New Face” at Montreal’s “Just for Laughs” festival.
