Olivia Rodrigo Hilariously Reflects on Career Highlights in 'SNL' Hosting Debut

Olivia Rodrigo brought her signature wit and musical talent to Saturday Night Live on May 2nd, serving as both host and musical guest.

During her opening monologue, Rodrigo quipped about her age and the show's enduring appeal. "I grew up watching the show, and they say your favorite SNL cast is the one you watched as a teenager," she said, before naming current cast members Mikey Day, Sarah Sherman, Kenan Thompson, and Chloe Fineman.

She also poked fun at the lengthy title of her upcoming album. "My last two albums were called Sour and Guts, and this new one is called You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love," Rodrigo joked. "I’ve learned more words, guys. Yay!"

You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, Rodrigo's third studio album, is slated for release on June 12.

Rodrigo also revisited her Disney Channel days on Bizaardvark, recalling her time with co-star Jake Paul. "When I was 13, I was on a Disney show called Bizaardvark, and we had an incredible cast, which included acting legend Jake Paul," Rodrigo said. "And we’d always talk about our futures, me and Jake. I’d say, ‘I really wanna create music that explores the complexities of girls my age,’ and he’d say, ‘Well, one day I really wanna beat up old guys on Netflix.’"

The joke referenced Paul’s 2024 boxing match against Mike Tyson, which streamed on Netflix.
