Olivia Rodrigo is the Andy Sachs of Saturday Night Live in the first promo for her upcoming hosting debut on the late night sketch show!
The 23-year-old entertainer will serve as host and musical guest on this Saturday’s (May 2) episode, and the first promo teaser for her appearance is here, parodying The Devil Wears Prada, whose sequel also comes out this weekend.
In the clip, Olivia is seen walking the halls discussing the upcoming episode with Andrew Dismukes and Jane Wickline, when Tommy Brennan pops in, saying, “Hey guys, he’s on his way.” The cast members then go into panic mode.
Everyone then scrambles to prepare for an arrival while Olivia just stands there, and asks, “Who?”
James Austin Johnson then walks in dressed like Meryl Streep‘s Miranda Priestly, mimicking the way she walks in and the Runway staff caters to her.
Once Olivia laughs and comments on how it’s her first time hosting and she’s still learning about “all these skits.”
James then goes into a monologue of how her whole career has been used to make “these skits” on the show, even mentioning her time on High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, Zac Efron, her debut single “Driver’s License” and more.
“I find it sort of comical that you think these skits have nothing to do with you, when in fact your entire career has been turned into sketches by the people in this very room,” he says.
Then Tommy comes in again and says, “And touchdown! Lorne just got here,” and everyone scrambles again, with James adding, “Ah, crap! Please don’t tell Lorne about this. Run!”
Tune in THIS Saturday (May 2) to watch Olivia Rodrigo host for the first time, and perform, on Saturday Night Live!
