Olivia Rodrigo shines as SNL host with hilarious lava cake sketch
Olivia Rodrigo took centre stage on Saturday Night Live this weekend. She served as both host and musical guest, bringing her signature energy to the long-running show. One of the night’s standout moments came in a quirky sketch called Shop TV. The Shop TV segment featured fictional hosts Rhett and Bev, played by Mikey Day and Ashley Padilla. Their job was to pitch bizarre products to viewers. Rodrigo joined in as Daisy, a cheerful saleswoman with an unusual offering.
The sketch revolved around lava cakes—shaped like buttholes. Rodrigo’s character enthusiastically described the dessert while the hosts struggled to keep a straight face. The absurdity of the product and the cast’s deadpan delivery made it a memorable part of the episode. Beyond the sketch, Rodrigo also delivered live musical performances. Her dual role highlighted her versatility as both an actress and a singer.
The episode marked Rodrigo’s first time hosting SNL, adding to her growing list of TV appearances. Her involvement in the Shop TV sketch, along with her musical segments, drew attention from fans and critics alike. The show’s mix of humour and live music kept audiences engaged throughout the night.
