Jimmy Donaldson, better known to the world as MrBeast, is once again all over pop culture, but this time, it’s not because of some crazy challenge or million-dollar giveaway.
The YouTube king just got the SNL treatment. Saturday Night Live spoofed him in a sketch called “Beauty and MrBeast,” which aired on November 9.
The parody blew up online in no time, and true to his nature, MrBeast had the best reaction, laughing right along with everyone else at the clever take.
MrBeast talks about the SNL sketch
MrBeast said he had no clue that SNL was about to roast him until the sketch actually came to light.
“I didn’t know they were gonna talk about me, but the second it aired, my phone blew up haha,” he told Dexerto. “Thought it was funny.”
The SNL bit, titled “Beauty and MrBeast,” was part of the episode hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser. The sketch gave a hilarious twist to Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, with Ben Marshall from the comedy trio Please Don’t Destroy playing MrBeast.
But instead of trying to lift a curse or find true love, this version had the Beast hosting one of those wild, over-the-top MrBeast-style challenges.
Instead of keeping Belle trapped in a castle, SNL’s “MrBeast” locks up her father, but with a $300,000 prize on the line. The parody fully matched the high-energy of a real MrBeast video, packed with over-the-top challenges and clever production.
The skit also brought in SNL regulars Bowen Yang as Lumière and Kenan Thompson as Cogsworth. At one point, Cogsworth jokes, “If I live for one year as a clock, I get $2,500,” then pauses and goes, “Wait, that’s not a lot of money.” (via Complex)
The sketch blew up online in no time, with fans giving SNL props for perfectly capturing MrBeast’s kindness and showmanship. True to form, MrBeast laughed it off, showing once again why the internet loves him.
As of late 2025, MrBeast is busy taking his empire to the next level. In October, his company, Beast Holdings LLC, reportedly filed a trademark for MrBeast Financial, a new mobile banking app that might include investment tools, crypto options, and card services.
