Trisha Paytas Joins ‘SNL’ Sketch on Paul Mescal’s Spotify Wrapped 2024
Internet sensation Trisha Paytas made a surprise cameo on Saturday Night Live, joining a sketch centered around Paul Mescal’s Spotify Wrapped for 2024. The sketch featured a quirky character named Satoshi Gutman, portrayed by Bowen Yang, who emerged as Mescal’s top artist on Spotify, surpassing big names like Sabrina Carpenter and Kendrick Lamar. Gutman, described as an “anti-instrumentalist sound guru from Dundalk, Maryland,” captured Mescal’s attention for over 170,000 minutes, leaving his friends bewildered.
The Unveiling of Gutman
In a hilarious twist, Mescal shared a video of Gutman singing “Y’all Made Me Celibate” while donning a distinctive Targaryen-esque wig and goatee. Despite Gutman’s unique persona and catchy podcast Awakenings making it to Mescal’s Spotify Wrapped list, his friends, played by Andrew Dismukes, Ego Nwodim, and Sarah Sherman, failed to recognize him. The scene set the stage for Paytas’ entrance as a guest on Gutman’s podcast.
A Surprising Collaboration
Paytas, embodying Gutman’s eccentricity, greeted the audience with a cheeky “Hey bastards!” before engaging in a playful banter with Gutman. Their catchphrase, “the best bucy is celibacy,” echoed through the skit, prompting both laughter and bewilderment from the cast. As Sherman expressed her disbelief at the unfolding scenario, Mescal emphasized the essence of Spotify Wrapped as a celebration of individual musical journeys, rather than a platform for judgment.
Celebrating Musical Diversity
The skit culminated in an unexpected in-person appearance by Gutman and Paytas, underscoring the theme of embracing diverse musical preferences and personalities. Despite the comical nature of the sketch, the underlying message of unity and acceptance shone through, reminding viewers of the power of music to connect people across different walks of life.
Through this entertaining SNL segment, Trisha Paytas and the cast shed light on the joy of celebrating musical diversity and individuality, urging audiences to embrace the eclectic soundtrack of their lives with open arms. As the curtain falls on this uproarious performance, one thing remains clear: in the realm of music, there’s a place for everyone, no matter how unconventional or peculiar their tastes may be.
