Pedro Pascal Shines in SNL's 50th-Anniversary Special with Star-Studded Cast
Pedro Pascal joined a star-studded cast, including Sabrina Carpenter and Bad Bunny, for a memorable sketch during Saturday Night Live’s 50th-anniversary special on February 16, 2025. The event revisited the viral “Bridesmaid Speech” sketch, which originally featured Marcello Hernández as Domingo, a character who became a fan favorite. This time, the sketch centered around a vow renewal ceremony for the fictional couple Kelsey and Matt, with Pascal playing Santiago, Domingo’s “hot brother.”
In the sketch, Carpenter reprised her role as Sophie, the bride’s childhood friend, delivering an off-key rendition of “Defying Gravity” alongside the bridesmaids. The groomsmen, including Bowen Yang and members of The Lonely Island, revealed that Matt had his own secret fling with a man named Ronaldo, played by Bad Bunny. The twist? Domingo, Ronaldo, and Santiago are brothers, adding a layer of family drama to the already chaotic wedding festivities.
The sketch, which has become a recurring hit for SNL, originally gained popularity for its humorous take on wedding drama and its parody of Carpenter’s hit song “Espresso.” Pascal’s appearance as Santiago added to the comedic chaos, solidifying the sketch as a standout moment in the anniversary special. The special aired live on NBC and Peacock, drawing in audiences with its mix of nostalgia and fresh humor.
