Saturday Night time Reside kicked off its newest episode with one thing uncommon nowadays — a non-political chilly open. Sabrina Carpenter pulled double responsibility as each host and musical visitor, and as a substitute of skewering President Trump or considered one of his cupboard members, the present dusted off one thing else: the Domingo sketch.
The unique bit aired a bit of over a yr in the past and centered on a chaotic bridesmaid speech that casually reveals the bride’s been dishonest on her new husband with a person named Domingo. The confession unfolds via a efficiency set to Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso,” with the entire joke being that Ariana Grande, that week’s host, is singing actually badly.
SNL struck gold with that sketch — however perhaps a bit of too a lot. Up to now yr, it’s been revived three separate instances, together with this sketch.
This time, the setup strikes from a marriage to an Olive Backyard birthday dinner, the place the “glad” husband (Andrew Dismukes) is blindsided by his spouse (Chloe Fineman) and her buddies (Carpenter, Sarah Sherman, Ashley Padilla, and Veronika Slowikowska) performing a medley to Taylor Swift’s “The Destiny of Ophelia” and Girl Gaga’s “Abracadabra.”
Naturally, each songs become about — you guessed it — Domingo (Marcello Hernández).
