As Barry Keoghan’s nude Saltburn romp continues to cast a large shadow over social media, the Saturday Night Live is sharing its own spin on the film’s buzzy conclusion. At the end of Saltburn, Keoghan’s character frolics and dances around an empty castle completely nude as Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s 2002 dance smash “Murder on the Dancefloor” […]
We’re guessing 6-foot-5 actor Jacob Elordi isn’t often called “baby girl,” but that’s just what Reneé Rapp and Bowen Yang label him in new Saturday Night Live promos, released Thursday night (Jan. 18). “Reneé, you were so right. He is so baby girl,” SNL castmember Yang says after Elordi announces his hosting gig, to which […]
A baby taking their first steps is always a monumental moment — even when that “baby” is a 6’5″ movie star and the steps in question are on the set of Saturday Night Live. In a new teaser released on Wednesday (Jan. 7), Jacob Elordi faces his fears and attempts to walk down the same […]
If you thought you knew the backstory behind Olivia Rodrigo‘s breakout 2021 hit “drivers license,” the new Saturday Night Live promos are here to set you straight. The new promos — starring host Adam Driver, musical guest Rodrigo and SNL castmember Heidi Gardner — start by debating the inspiration behind Rodrigo’s debut smash single. “OK, […]

This week’s Saturday Night Live musical guest Tate McRae stars alongside host Jason Momoa and cast member Chloe Fineman in a new teaser for their fast-approaching Nov. 18 episode; and while the 20-year-old pop star doesn’t give viewers a taste of what her performance will entail, she does join in for a tribute to another […]
Jason Momoa can’t contain his excitement about hosting Saturday Night Live for a second time — so much so that he forgot his pants in the Thursday (Nov. 16) teaser for this week’s episode. The cheeky teaser kicks off with a montage of skits from his last time hosting, before he walks through the doors […]
Over the past three seasons the men of Please Don’t Destroy have capably picked up the digital short mantle left to them by the previous Saturday Night Live viral video trio The Lonely Island. That includes roping major stars into appearing in their bits, including 2021’s hilarious “Three Sad Virgins” sketch featuring then cast member Pete Davidson and that night’s musical guest, Taylor Swift.

On Monday night (Nov. 6) the three — John Higgins, Martin Herlihy and Ben Marshall — visited The Tonight Show to talk about their breakout success on SNL, and, of course, reveal how they got the biggest pop star in the world to do a hilarious pop-in for their video. “We didn’t think that she would do it,” said Higgins, son of SNL writer/producer and Tonight Show announcer/sidekick Steve Higgins.
“[SNL writer] Dan Bulla, who wrote it with us, said, ‘We should have Taylor Swift do it’… and we were like, ‘yeah, obviously!’” So, they pitched it to her — including mentioning the name of the bit and how it would consist of her and Davidson roasting them — and she was immediately like, “‘Yes!’ and was like, ‘I get that about you guys,’” Higgins lamented.
In fact, Marshall said, Swift actually pitched even more jokes making fun of them and now, Higgins admitted, every time they walk down the street people yell out, “‘Hey, sad virgin!’” Which is a bummer, he said, because it’s not even true. “We’re not sad.”
In case you missed the original, in it Davidson pitches the trio on doing a video in which they are all pals who hang out. He then slow raps about his crazy tabloid fame and the cool and famous friends he has… except for those “three sad virgins.” The guys stop the shoot to ask if the parody song is actually about them, and after assuring them it’s just a joke, Davidson raps their names and some unflattering characteristics (not smart, breath smells like a fart) to their mortification.
After they ask for some changes, Davidson continues the humiliation, only agreeing to stop after they hit the song’s bridge. Cue Swift, who comes in to croon more cruel, but accurate, insults, including “Ben is like a sad Ron Weasley/ He looks like if Big Bird lost all his feathers/ And Martin has the charm and the sex appeal of a scarecrow/ John has a big-ass bowling ball head/ How does he stay upright with that big, fat melon?”
Swift is the leading finalist with nods in 20 categories at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards. You can watch the BBMAs here, and via Billboard and the BBMA’s social media channels on Nov. 19.
