Gal Gadot Plays a Busted Cinderella Dealing With Jerk Mice in Hilarious 'SNL' Sketch

last updated 14 August 2021

Gal Gadot hosted Saturday Night Live yesterday, and she played many impressive characters, but perhaps the most delightful one was Mina, the Cinderella-style maiden whose magical mice make her a dress for the ball. In a twist on the original fairytale, the dress looks like it was made by, well, mice — Mina is unimpressed and the mice are pissed at her lack of gratitude. They're mice and they made a dress — show some respect, Mina! Kyle Mooney, Kate McKinnon, and Aidy Bryant play the disgruntled rodents and it's all very hilarious, with an excellent twist at the end. BRB, watching again.
