The Real-Life Drama Behind SNL's Viral 'Domingo' Skit!
"Saturday Night Live's Domingo Sketch: The Shocking Inspiration Behind the Viral Hit!
Get ready for a juicy scoop that will leave you gagging! Last October, social media went wild over SNL's Domingo sketch, featuring none other than pop sensation Ariana Grande and set to Sabrina Carpenter's chart-topping hit, Espresso. But what really got people talking was the hilarious and awkward portrayal of a bride's steamy secret affair with a Latin man named Domingo on her bachelorette trip.
Fast forward to a recent Vanity Fair interview with SNL writers Jimmy Fowlie and Ceara O'Sullivan, where they spilled all the tea behind the sketch. And trust us, it's a doozy!
It turns out that Fowlie was inspired by a real-life wedding video that had gone viral on Instagram - yes, you read that right! A maid of honor took to the stage to belt out a pitch-perfect rendition of Hamilton (talk about dedication!). But what really caught Fowlie's attention was the bride and groom's awkward reactions. "There was something about the pained look on the bride and the groom's face that I was like, 'Oh, this is so good,'" he revealed.
And just like that, the seeds of Domingo were sown! The writers took the idea and ran with it, creating a sketch that would leave viewers in stitches. But what really made it pop was Ariana Grande's off-key singing - which, we're told, was executed with precision after Fowlie showed her the viral video.
The original skit featured bride Kelsey (Chloe Fineman) and groom Matthew, whose wedding was derailed when Kelsey's bridesmaids (including Grande, Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim, and Sarah Sherman) sang about their bride's steamy affair with Domingo. And let's just say it was a real showstopper!
But the drama didn't end there! The sequel, titled Domingo: Vow Renewal, took things to the next level, featuring Sabrina Carpenter herself and a cameo from Pedro Pascal. This time around, Kelsey and Matthew were renewing their vows less than a year after tying the knot, but Domingo was back again, this time with a song about how Kelsey still yearns for him.
And if you thought that was all, think again! The sequel also introduced us to Matthew's friends, who had an equally-hilarious response set to Espresso - and let's just say it involved some major tea-spilling. The entire video ended with the cast all dancing on stage together, including none other than Bad Bunny.
So, what's next for Domingo? Only time will tell! But one thing's for sure - this sketch has left an indelible mark on our collective consciousness. And who knows when Domingo himself might make another appearance on SNL?
Stay tuned, folks, as we continue to follow the drama and excitement surrounding Saturday Night Live's most talked-about sketch of the year!
