Additionally, another user added to the speculation by suggesting that Jane’s mother is Marcella Hardart, a former personal assistant to SNL creator Lorne Michaels.
“TIL New SNL Cast Member Jane Wickline is daughter of former Letterman writer, Mathew Wickline, and Marcella Hardart, a former personal Assistant to Lorne Michaels.”

These rumors quickly took off, with one Redditor joking,
“She has her mother’s eyes and her father’s agent.”

Whereas, others debated whether this made Jane a “nepo-baby,” referencing her alleged parents’ links to the television industry.
“Let’s keep a handle on ourselves. Just because her dad was a staff writer on comedy shows doesn’t make her a nepobaby. He doesn’t even have a wikipedia page. Would a stint with Letterman’s show in the 80s gives someone clout at SNL casting now? This is more like “my dad was a teacher and now I’m a teacher too.”

Despite these claims, Jane herself has not confirmed or denied any details about her family.
She continues to maintain a low profile when it comes to her personal life.
However, she posted a heartwarming picture of Nanna and Grandpa Bob on Instagram.
As the mystery surrounding Jane Wickline’s parents still continues, one thing is certain, her talent is undeniable.
