Trisha Paytas, a well-known social media influencer, made an unexpected appearance on Saturday Night Live (SNL) on December 7, 2024, fulfilling a long-held dream that she had shared years ago during an episode of her now-defunct podcast, Frenemies. Here’s everything you need to know about this surprise cameo.

A Dream Fulfilled

Trisha Paytas’ appearance on Saturday Night Live was a surprise to many. The cameo took place during a skit about Spotify Wrapped, and Paytas was featured alongside host Paul Mescal and cast members Bowen Yang, Andrew Dismukes, Ego Nwodim, and Sarah Sherman. In the skit, Paytas appeared as herself on a fictional podcast named Awakenings, hosted by Satoshi Gutman, played by Bowen Yang. The podcast was humorously revealed to be the favorite of Myron, played by Mescal, in his Spotify Wrapped.

The Skit and Paytas’ Role

The skit revolved around Myron and his friends, who were taken by surprise when Paytas and Yang’s character made a sudden appearance. Despite the brief cameo, which lasted less than a minute, Paytas’ performance was memorable. Her appearance also marked the closing moments of the show, adding an extra surprise for viewers.

Three Years in the Making

This unexpected appearance on SNL was a milestone for Paytas, who had openly expressed her desire to be part of the show more than three years ago. During an episode of Frenemies in April 2021, Paytas shared her hope to one day appear on Saturday Night Live. At the time, her cohost Ethan Klein made a bold remark, claiming, “If you go on SNL, I’ll cut my f—— arm off,” in a hyperbolic statement that was met with amusement. Despite the over-the-top comment, Paytas kept her dream alive.

In a 2020 TikTok video, Paytas even pretended to host SNL, jokingly captioning it, “Me hosting SNL this weekend because the internet really be showing me so much love right now.”

A Year of High-Profile Moments

Paytas’ cameo on SNL comes after a year filled with notable moments in her personal and professional life. In November 2024, Paytas attended the Los Angeles premiere of Wicked alongside her daughter Malibu Barbie. The pair turned heads by wearing matching pink, sparkly outfits inspired by Ariana Grande’s Glinda character from the upcoming film adaptation of the musical.

Earlier in August 2024, Paytas shared a heartwarming moment on Instagram, where she and her daughter Malibu Barbie tried on gowns inspired by Glinda. Additionally, Paytas welcomed her second daughter, Elvis, with her husband Moses Hacmon this year, marking another significant moment in her life. The couple has been open about their growing family, sharing glimpses of their life with their fans.

Paytas continues to balance her family life with her social media ventures and expanding presence in the entertainment world.
