Chloe Fineman, a 36-year-old Megalopolis actor, shares an "amazing" mentoring experience she received from fellow comedian Molly Shannon. In a conversation with PEOPLE about her partnership with Instacart, Fineman reveals that when she joined Saturday Night Live in 2019, Shannon was kind enough to let her DM and would respond. This mentoring was truly remarkable, and Shannon is widely regarded as one of the funniest women alive. Shannon was part of SNL from 1995 to 2001 and is best known for her character Mary Katherine Gallagher, which even got a spin-off movie in 1999. She was also nominated for an Emmy in 2000 for outstanding individual performance in a variety or music program.

Shannon's Seasonal Mentality on SNL

Fineman explains Shannon's perspective on each SNL season. "Her thing is like, it's a whole season and I think when you're in it, you go by a week, each week is like a roller coaster," she says. "It's like, you have the best and then you have the worst week, but you have to step out and as long as you have a good full season, you're great."

Working with Admired Colleagues

Fineman shares what she's enjoyed the most during this SNL season, which marks the 50th for the show. "Getting to work with people you really admire is always the most exciting," she says, "especially when they wanna do stuff" mentioning Dana Carvey dressed as Jennifer Coolidge or dancing with Kristen Wiig in the Maison Du Bang sketch.

Instacart's Holiday Campaign with Fineman

In addition to SNL, Fineman partnered with Instacart for their holiday campaign Yule Be Fine. The comedian brings much-needed encouragement to first-time hosts. Between preparing dinner menus and managing family members, Fineman reminds everyone to take a deep breath and that we're all getting through the holidays together. The campaign's catchphrase offers a clever play-on-words for Fineman's last name. "I'm a chronically stressed-out person. I live in New York and I'm stressed out for the holidays," she tells PEOPLE. "But it is that thing, the whole you go to the grocery store, the thing sold out you're cooking, you forgot something, I burned stuff, all the amount of things I've burned over the holidays. You have no idea."

Advice for First-Time Hosts

And as for advice for first-time hosts? "Use Instacart." Fineman continues, "You'll be fine is our slogan. So you can use Instacart to streamline and make your life easier. It's like your own personal shopper base. It is literally, you have like a personal shopper. It's very wonderful."
