Viral ‘SNL’ Domingo skit includes ‘Espresso’ spoof, gets Sabrina Carpenter approval Ariana Grande was working late (guest hosting “Saturday Night Live”), ’cause she’s a singer — and one buzzy sketch is still Domingoing viral a week later. The most recent episode of “SNL” included a take on Sabrina Carpenter’s caffeinated chart-topper “Espresso,” where a squad of bridesmaids recount what happened during a bachelorette party to Charleston, South Carolina.
The sketch features: “SNL” host Grande and cast members Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim and Sarah Sherman as bridesmaids who decide to skip a speech in favor of a flavorful rendition of the song for bride and espresso martini connoisseur Kelsey, played by Chloe Fineman.
- “Instead of a speech, we’re gonna do something different for y’all because we’re a little bit creative and a little bit quirky,” Gardner’s character says, before the bride’s “Kels Squad” starts singing.
- Things escalate between the bride and a doctor and model named Domingo as the bridesmaids recount the trip, adding in more details as they go to different locations and Kelsey is “dancing with Domingo.”
“Hands me her ring, then we can’t find her,” Nwodim croons, as the bride explains what happened to her groom Matthew, played by Andrew Dismukes. “I just didn’t want to lose it in the hot tub,” Kelsey says to a concerned Matthew.
Later the women divulge that Kelsey and Domingo’s time in the hot tub led the bride-to-be to ask the group to book a hotel so the duo could spend time alone. “At the Marriott, Googling Domingo,” Grande continues, before Nwodim finishes her sentence, singing, “just to make sure he’s not psycho.” The incredulous groom asks whether “the point” of the song was to find out the bride was cheating.
