Caitlin Clark doesn’t mind packed arenas, zone defenses or contested shots … but she admitted Wednesday there is one thing that terrifies her — “Saturday Night Live” cameras!!
The 22-year-old met with reporters in Indiana for the first time since the Fever picked her in Monday night’s WNBA Draft … and amid questions about her game and her future, someone just had to ask about her hilarious appearance on ‘SNL’ over the weekend.
Clark revealed that while she looked calm and cool on the outside — she was anything but that on the inside … saying, “I was terrified.”
“I was so nervous,” she said. “My heart was about to explode out of my chest.”
Of course, Clark — as she does so often on the hardwood — came through in the clutch despite the nerves … and delivered funny line after funny line in her four-minute cameo with Michael Che and Colin Jost on Weekend Update.
She roasted Che for making fun of women’s sports … and then made him read some jokes about himself that she said on the show that she “wrote.”
Clark revealed Wednesday she didn’t actually pen them herself — “I’m not that funny,” she quipped – but she was pleased nonetheless with how it all turned out.
“It was good,” she said. “It was a good platform for women’s sports. Everybody loved it.”
As for if we’ll see her on the show again — she said she’d love to make another appearance — although don’t count on her hosting anytime soon, ’cause she made it clear that’d just be too nerve-racking for her right now!
