The latest episode of Saturday Night Live (SNL) made a triumphant return for Domingo, who was featured in a hilarious sketch that parodied Taylor Swift’s hit song, "The Fate of Ophelia." This episode was particularly special because Sabrina Carpenter took on dual roles as both host and musical guest, setting a lively tone for the show. Without wasting any time, SNL brought back familiar faces—Domingo, Chelsea, and Kelsey—for their fourth appearance in one of the show’s most beloved recurring sketches.
The sketch kicked off the episode as a cold open, where the 'Kelsquad' unexpectedly crashed Matt’s 30th birthday celebration. Their goal? To share amusing tales from a recent trip his wife took to Nashville, all centered around hunting down what she called “the most magical birthday gift.” This humorous setup quickly caught viewers’ attention.
And here’s where it gets even more entertaining: the Kelsquad then performed a musical parody, set to spoofs of Taylor Swift’s "The Fate of Ophelia" and Lady Gaga’s "Abracadabra." The joke? It turned out that Marcello Hernandez’s character, Domingo, was actually in Nashville at the very same time as the birthday party—an amusing coincidence that fueled the comedy.
The scene was accompanied by a playful tweet from the official SNL account, humorously suggesting Nashville’s resistance to the Kelsquad’s antics. This lively segment highlights both the show’s clever humor and its ability to blend current pop culture with absurd, funny scenarios. But here’s the question: do you think these kinds of coincidences are just good timing or cleverly scripted? And what’s your take on the way SNL continues to parody popular songs and celebrities—does it keep comedy fresh or risk overusing the same formula? Share your thoughts below, because these debates make comedy even more interesting.
