Marcello Hernández Shines as Domingo in SNL's 50th-Anniversary Special
Marcello Hernández reprised his role as Domingo, the breakout character from Saturday Night Live, during the show’s 50th-anniversary special on February 16, 2025. The sketch, which originally debuted earlier in the season, featured Domingo alongside Sabrina Carpenter, Pedro Pascal, and Bad Bunny, turning the viral moment into a star-studded family affair.
The sketch centered on a vow renewal ceremony for Kelsey (Chloe Fineman) and Matt (Andrew Dismukes), a couple whose tumultuous relationship has been a recurring theme in previous Domingo sketches. Carpenter played Sophie, Kelsey’s childhood friend, who joined the bridal party in a musical tribute to Kelsey’s infidelity with Domingo. The group performed renditions of Wicked’s “Defying Gravity” and Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me,” revealing Kelsey’s ongoing obsession with Domingo.
Meanwhile, the groomsmen, including Bowen Yang, Andy Samberg, Kyle Mooney, and Beck Bennett, performed a version of Carpenter’s hit “Espresso” to expose Matt’s own past fling with Ronaldo, played by Pedro Pascal. The sketch took a surprising turn when it was revealed that Ronaldo and Domingo were brothers, with Bad Bunny making a cameo as their third brother, Santiago, who had his own complicated history with Kelsey’s family.
Domingo first appeared in a sketch with host Ariana Grande earlier in the season, where the bridal party sang a parody of “Espresso” to reveal Kelsey’s affair. The character quickly became a fan favorite, amassing millions of views online. This anniversary special marked Domingo’s third appearance, solidifying his status as one of SNL’s most memorable recurring characters.
The sketch was a highlight of the 50th-anniversary special, blending humor, star power, and musical performances to celebrate the show’s legacy.
