Mayim Bialik has complicated feelings about Saturday Night Live .

The Big Bang Theory alum published an essay for Variety on Wednesday as part of the magazines Antisemitism and Hollywood package in which she remembered a 1994 SNL sketch that mocked her for having what she called an undeniably Jewish nose.

The 1994 skit was a parody of Blossom, an NBC sitcom in which Bialik starred as the titular character, a role she scored at just 14 years old. The SNL parodys focus was on mocking the shows saccharine storylines about teenage sex and Bialiks co-star Joey Lawrences obnoxious catchphrase of Whoa! but the skit also added an unnecessary detail for no other reason than to point out that Bialik was indeed Jewish.

The actress portraying me was dancing and mugging for the camera and she was hilarious, Bialik wrote in the Variety essay of former SNL cast member Melanie Hutsell. But. She wore a prosthetic nose. In order to truly convey that she was Blossom, she wore a fake, big nose.
