Hailed "the cringe king of the Internet", Jake Novak is an actor and internet creator. Novak began his acting career in 2006 with a small role in a feature titled Legit, and after years of struggle in the industry, he decided to create comedy videos on the internet to hopefully boost his stardom. On June 15, 2022, he released a song titled "I Wanna Be the Next SNL Cast Member!", which was met with bounds of online hate. Critics pointed to an older song, "Bad Gun", which discussed school shootings, as proof of him being problematic. As the drama rose and fell, Novak remained silent, only sitting for one interview with Vulture magazine, in which he pleaded readers to not visit him at his job at Disneyland California. On the one year anniversary of "I Wanna Be the Next SNL Cast Member!", he returned, jokingly mixing his address to the viewer with a spam call he was making to a client. Today, his whereabouts are unknown.
