Jane Wickline’s SNL Debut Hilariously Satirizes Gen Z’s Party Scene
On the latest episode of Saturday Night Live , newcomer Jane Wickline made a huge splash during the iconic "Weekend Update" segment, stealing the spotlight from co-anchor Colin Jost with her hilarious and sharp satirical take on Gen Z’s approach to partying. In a sketch that had everyone talking, Wickline took to the stage with a keyboard to perform a witty song called "Party," poking fun at the new trends in socializing among younger generations.
The premise was simple: Gen Z isn’t partying the way older generations might expect. Jost introduced a statistic about how 71% of young people are cutting back on going out, setting the stage for Wickline’s song. Her character walks through a night out that hilariously unravels, from awkwardly tagging along as a plus-one to lingering far beyond when the party is clearly over. One of the funniest moments comes when she sings about how the host couple goes upstairs to "get freaky," signaling the unofficial end of the party—while her character cluelessly stays behind, dragging the night out even further.

What made Wickline’s performance stand out was the clever layering of absurd situations. She describes staying at the party until the early morning, watching as unlikely "guests" such as the mailman and a dog walker show up, mistaking them for strippers. As the song progresses, the increasingly ridiculous chorus shifts to reflect how disconnected her character is from the event, eventually admitting she’s the plus-one of a guest who made up their connection to the host altogether.
The sketch was a hit for its humor and relatability, as Wickline’s portrayal captured the awkwardness and uncertainty that can accompany social situations for many today, especially in the wake of changing norms around going out. It also highlighted the growing trend among younger people to prioritize personal time and avoid excessive nightlife, wrapped up in a fresh and hilarious way that only SNL could deliver.
This particular performance showcases Wickline’s talent as an up-and-coming cast member, blending musical comedy with spot-on observational humor about the Gen Z experience. It’s clear that her debut marks the beginning of something special on Saturday Night Live , as she continues to bring a fresh and quirky energy to the legendary sketch comedy show.
