Leslie Bibb is proudly representing the Bob Army.
The White Lotus star (and her signature haircut) got a memorable shout-out on Saturday Night Live in a sketch dedicated to the power of bobs everywhere. The wig-centric sketch saw army soldier Sublette (Mikey Day) transferred to a division that mostly “serves” with their haircuts and attitudes. At one point, the cadets invoke the name of their commanding officer, revealing that they report to none other than Bibb herself.
Now, Bibb is confirming that she will happily take her place among the Bob Army ranks.
“Slay Division reporting for duty,” Bibb wrote on Instagram, sharing a clip from the sketch. “This was the best way to wake up @snl… Bobbed and ready to serve.”
She added, “P.S. [Bowen Yang] shouting me out will be the best early birthday gift this cadet could ever ask for.”
Bowen Yang, Glen Powell, and Sarah Sherman shout out Leslie Bibb in the ‘Saturday Night Live’ sketch, ‘Bob Army.’.

The sketch opens with Day penning a letter home about his transfer, when his fellow cadets come strutting in, all rocking sleek black bobs.
“Amazing bod on you, private,” Yang’s cadet Fowlie observed. “Booty, caked. Waist, snatched. Face, giving.”
His fellow cadets, played by SNL host Glen Powell and cast member Sarah Sherman, then chimed in, noting, “But the hair? We are gonna need to bob it.”
The reasonably baffled private Sublette had a few questions, leading Powell to explain, “The U.S. military is always in search of innovative ways to intimidate the enemy.”
Added Yang, “And research shows there’s nothing more intimidating than a freak-ass bob.”
“I’m confused. Is your hair a weapon?” Day asked.
“Yas, but we don’t kill our enemies,” Yang replied.
“We gag them with blunt force,” Powell added.
Alarmed, Day eventually asked, “Does Pete Hegseth know about this?”
“We only answer to Leslie Bibb,” Yang revealed. “Because the Air Force is in the air, the Navy is in the water, and we’re in your head rent-free.”

Cue even more strutting, several sassy one-liners, and more hair flips that one individual can count. Eventually, Day was forced to make a choice: he could either join the Bob Army or the Bang Battalion. So which haircut won him over? Before choosing, Day demanded that the two groups face off in a confrontation best described as a slay-off.
