Trisha Paytas Makes ‘SNL’ Debut in Hilarious Spotify Wrapped Sketch
In a moment that many fans likely never thought they’d see, internet personality Trisha Paytas graced the legendary
Saturday Night Live stage this weekend. Paytas, known for their flamboyant personality and viral internet antics, appeared in a sketch satirizing the annual Spotify Wrapped phenomenon, where users get a personalized breakdown of their listening habits for the year.
The sketch took aim at the increasingly niche and often bizarre corners of the internet that listeners can stumble upon. Host Paul Mescal portrayed a character who, for some inexplicable reason, had spent the entire year immersed in the music and podcasts of Satoshi Gutman and his “acecore” movement. This fictional Gutman, played by a cast member, had a hit single titled “Y’all Made Me Celibate,” and a podcast where Paytas made a cameo appearance as a special guest – a meta reference to Paytas’ own real-life podcast appearances.
The sketch played on the absurdity of algorithmic rabbit holes, highlighting how easily users can find themselves listening to increasingly obscure content. The heavy use of Southern slang like “y’all” by Gutman added an extra layer of humor.
Paytas has long expressed a desire to appear on SNL. In 2021, while co-hosting the now-defunct YouTube show
Frenemies with Ethan Klein, Paytas declared that appearing on
SNL was a major goal, prompting Klein to jokingly vow that he would cut off his arm if it ever happened.
With Paytas’
SNL appearance now a reality, the internet is buzzing with questions: Will Klein make good on his promise? Or will he find a creative way out of his self-imposed contract? Only time will tell.

## Interview: Trisha Paytas’ Surprise SNL Appearance

**Host:** It was in the Spotify Wrapped sketch alongside host Paul Mescal. How do you think that fit into the sketch and the overall episode?
**Jamie Johnson:** It was actually really clever! The sketch poked fun at the whole Spotify Wrapped trend, and Trisha playing an exaggerated version of herself, obsessed with her listening stats, was perfect comedy gold. It added a layer of absurdity and self-awareness that really resonated with the audience.
**Host:** Trisha has certainly had their fair share of controversial moments, how do you think this SNL appearance impacts their public image?
**Jamie Johnson:** This could be a real turning point for Paytas. SNL is a platform that still holds a lot of cultural weight. Being included in a sketch, even a short cameo, shows there’s a wider acceptance of them being involved in mainstream entertainment. It could help them reach a new audience and potentially pave the way for further mainstream opportunities.
**Host:** It definitely seems like a win for Trisha! Any final thoughts?
**Jamie Johnson:** Absolutely. It’s a reminder that the internet and entertainment landscape are constantly evolving. You never know who might pop up on SNL next!
