"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 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. In a recent Variety editorial, Bialik reflected on her “undeniably Jewish” nose being parodied in such a way, saying that “I felt ashamed” in addition to noting that “it was just me that was singled out.”
