Paul Mescal Hosts SNL, Trisha Paytas Debuts

Paul Mescal hosted 'Saturday Night Live' on December 7, 2024, featuring a sketch centered around Spotify Wrapped results that humorously highlighted his most-listened artist, a fictional character named Satoshi Gutman, played by Bowen Yang. In the sketch, Mescal's friends are baffled by his preference for Gutman, an 'anti-instrumentalist sound guru,' prompting him to share a clip of Gutman performing 'Y’all Made Me Celibate.' Trisha Paytas made a surprise appearance as Gutman’s podcast guest, joining him in a quirky chant, ‘the best bucy is celibacy.’ The sketch received positive reactions for its absurd humor and clever pop culture references, showcasing SNL's knack for satire. Mescal defended his Spotify Wrapped choices, emphasizing that the feature is about personal expression rather than judgment. The episode also included performances by musical guest Shaboozey and nostalgic cameos from former cast members Dana Carvey and David Spade.
