People Editorial Guidelines Published on January 4, 2023 06:49PM EST Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton might not be as irreplaceable as we once thought. As part of their New Year's Eve special last week, Miley's New Year's Eve Party, the two superstars shot a skit where Saturday Night Live stars Chloe Fineman and Sarah Sherman play their understudies. "When you host a live show, anything can happen," Cyrus, 30, says, opening the skit. "I could lose my voice, break an ankle or get that weird flu everyone's been getting the past couple of years. And that's why producers found someone who could fill in for me at a moment's notice. My very own understudy!" Cyrus says as the camera panned out and shows Fineman sitting next to her. "Hey y'all, it's me, Miley, and I'm, like, so excited, and we're going to countdown and it's going to be a New Year, and it's going to be a party in the USA!" Fineman, 34, says, imitating Cyrus perfectly. "And I've got an understudy too!" Parton, 76, chimes in. "Hello, Jolene!" Sherman, 29, says. "Yeehaw!" Miley Cyrus and Chloe Fineman.

Cyrus tries to get Fineman to lower her voice and stop saying "y'all" after every sentence. Parton also reveals it's been hard working with Sherman. "And I've been working with Sarah, too, and let's just say it's been a little bit of a struggle." "I don't know why they picked me to be your understudy," Sherman says to Parton, exasperated. "I mean, you're Dolly Parton, and I look like if Edward Scissorhands went to art school."

The musicians also work with their understudies to make sure they look the part. Everything is going well until Sherman walks out and, as Parton puts it, "there's something missing." Sherman returns moments later with a stuffed bra. "Much better!" Parton says. The skit ends with Cyrus and Parton asking their understudies to sing. "Pass," Fineman immediately says. But when Sherman sings a few lines of "Jolene," it's Parton's magical voice coming out. Sarah Sherman and Dolly Parton.
