"I Knew It Was Wrong": SNL Star Who Parodied Mayim Bialik's Blossom Responds To Prosthetic Nose Criticism

Former Saturday Night Live star Melanie Hutsell regretfully reflects on the use of a prosthetic nose to portray Mayim Bialik in a parody of Blossom.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Former Saturday Night Live star Melanie Hutsell has reflected on wearing a prosthetic nose during a sketch parodying Blossom. The sitcom, which starred Mayim Bialik as the teenage title character, was the focus of a 1994 SNL season 19 sketch about Blossom telling her dad she's sexually active, starring Hutsell wearing an exaggeratedly large nose.

This Saturday Night Live Controversy Ties Into Contemporary Issues While the SNL sketch in question took place nearly 30 years ago, there is an important reason that it has come back into the conversation. As Bialik points out in her editorial, the reason she shared her experience is the fact that a brand-new movie is using a prosthetic nose for a non-Jewish actor to portray a Jewish character.
