Trisha Paytas, a YouTuber known for her controversial past, has recently enjoyed significant personal and professional transformations, culminating in the fulfillment of one of her lifelong dreams: appearing on Saturday Night Live. A devoted fan of the musical “Wicked,” Paytas also attended its premiere in Los Angeles, which reflects her growing engagement with projects close to her heart.
In an interview earlier this year, Paytas expressed her aspiration to be part of the iconic SNL cast, showcasing her determination to manifest her dreams. During the latest episode, hosted by Paul Mescal of Gladiator II fame, Paytas made a surprise debut in a sketch that humorously explored Mescal’s unusual taste in music.
The sketch features friends discussing their Spotify Wrapped lists, where Mescal’s character surprises them by revealing an obscure artist, Satoshi Gutman, as his favorite. The comedic twist intensifies when the character describes Gutman as an “anti-instrumentalist sound guru” and claims to have spent 170,000 minutes listening to him. The scene escalates as Mescal shares a clip from his podcast featuring Paytas as a notable guest, leading to an unexpected yet entertaining visit from both guests in the storyline.
In a playful exchange, Paytas greets the friends while referring to them as “bastards” and joins in on a light-hearted discussion about celibacy. The sketch concludes with an amusing dance to Gutman’s hit song, which features the line, “I was normal, but then y’all made me celibate.”
At the end of the show, Mescal acknowledged Paytas’ contribution to the episode, celebrating her appearance on the renowned platform.
This incident symbolizes a significant turnaround for Paytas, highlighting her commitment to pursuing her passions and showcasing the importance of perseverance in achieving one’s dreams. Her SNL debut serves as a reminder that it is never too late to reimagine one’s career and embrace new opportunities.
