MrBeast addresses SNL’s Beauty and MrBeast skit
Saturday Night Live’s latest parody sketch pokes fun at popular YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, best known as MrBeast. The short skit takes a playful jab at the internet star’s game shows, which often offer substantial fortunes to the winners.
Needless to say, the sketch went viral online shortly following its release this weekend. Since then, MrBeast himself has shared his thoughts on the parody. “I didn’t know they were gonna talk about me, but the second it aired, my phone blew up haha. Thought it was funny,” Donaldson told Dexerto.
The November 9 sketch, “Beauty & Mr. Beast,” follows a live-action rendition of the 1991 Disney classic, with host Nikki Glaser as Belle and Ben Marshall as the parodied version of MrBeast. Unlike the original story, this version of the Beast offers extravagant prize money to the other characters.
“I’m keeping her dad trapped in a dungeon for 30 days for a chance to win over $300,000,” the sketch MrBeast says at one point. “For every pound he loses, I’ll give a Tesla to a random stranger,” Marshall adds as the parody character.
The skit comes just months after Amazon Prime Video announced the return of MrBeast’s popular reality television series, Beast Games. The show features the largest single cash prize ever offered on any reality competition, awarding the winner a staggering $5 million. The debut season of the show came in December 2024.
This year, Prime Video renewed Beast Games for two more seasons. Filming for Season 2 took place from June to August 2025, with production starting in Las Vegas. The streaming platform has yet to announce an official release date for the sophomore season.
