Well North Carolina, the world’s biggest YouTuber — our very own MrBeast — has gotten the SNL treatment.
Greenville’s Jimmy Donaldson is typically in the spotlight for his creative stunts, cash giveaways and hit game show. This weekend, the internet star was jokingly front and center in a “Saturday Night Live” sketch called “Beauty and Mr. Beast.”
Parodying the Disney adaptation with “a new imagining of the classic tale,” Princess Belle (aka comedian Nikki Glaser) tries to rescue her father from Mr. Beast, portrayed by Ben Marshall.

“I’m keeping her dad trapped in a dungeon for 30 days for a chance to win over $300,000,” Marshall said with his best MrBeast impersonation.
“For every pound he loses, I’ll give a Tesla to a random stranger.”
What happens when the last petal of the enchanted rose that serves as a timer to break a curse in the tail falls? According to the billionaire Mr. Beast, “a man in Albany has to eat 500 soft-shell crabs.”
We even heard a new rendition of the fairytale’s theme song:
‘Tale as old as time / Squid Game’ for the teens / Live in a CVS, for a chance to win / A Lamborghini.’
Of course, the two went on to live happily ever after... after he hit her with the challenge to “live for 30 days in a smart car with two greased-up sumo wrestlers.”
