While based on the 2002 book Queen Bees and Wannabes, Saturday Night Live alum Tina Fey adapted the story into the screenplay for the 2004 hit Mean Girls. Fey wrote and starred in the film, which was produced by SNL creator Lorne Michaels. With the film holding a special place at Saturday Night Live, when Reneé Rapp appeared on the show Saturday (January 20) as musical guest, Michaels decided to use the opportunity for a small reunion, welcoming back actress Rachel McAdams and even Megan Thee Stallion.

For those who might need a refresher, McAdams starred in the original film as Regina George. But in the two decades since the film was released, Mean Girls was adapted into a Broadway musical. On January 12, the film adaption of that musical hit theaters. With Rapp portraying Regina George in the new film, it seemed fitting to have both Reginas meet—and that’s exactly what happened when McAdams introduced Rapp, who performed “Not My Fault” with special guest Megan Thee Stallion.

Speaking with People about the opportunity to play Regina George, Rapp loved the role and even found the character to be “hot.” “Look, I love that she says what she thinks. I really do,” she said. “Now, I think a lot of things this character says are not nice, but I think in order to be manipulative you have to be really intelligent. I don’t think she’s using her intelligence in the best, most productive way. However, I don’t know, she’s determined. Something about that is hot to me. The mean girl is always hot to me.”
