SNL's "Domingo" sketch returns! Sabrina Carpenter spoofs Taylor Swift's "The Fate Of Ophelia" as Marcello Hernández's affair is exposed at a birthday party.

AceShowbiz - Saturday Night Live opted for a familiar yet fresh approach to its cold open this week, bringing back the popular Domingo sketch. The segment featured musical guest and host Sabrina Carpenter, who delivered a memorable spoof of Taylor Swift's "The Fate Of Ophelia." This marked the fourth appearance of the recurring sketch since its debut last year, demonstrating its consistent appeal to audiences and the show's writers.
The sketch revolved around Kelsey, a wife whose secret affair with Domingo, played by the charismatic Marcello Hernández, is dramatically exposed. The revelation occurs during her husband Matthew's 30th birthday celebration, as a group of off-key friends, dubbed the Kelsquad, serenade him with a song detailing their recent trip to Nashville – a trip that evidently included more than just sightseeing. The arrival of Domingo himself seals the shocking confession, much to Matthew's surprise.
Carpenter's involvement in this latest iteration wasn't her first foray into the Domingo universe. She previously made an appearance in the sketch during the star-studded Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary special earlier this February. Her reprisal alongside Hernández further cemented her comedic chops and versatility, making her a natural fit for the sketch's quirky charm.
By choosing to revisit a fan-favorite segment rather than tackling major news events, Saturday Night Live showcased its ability to entertain with character-driven comedy. The cold open provided a lighthearted, musical start to the episode, leveraging Carpenter's talents and the established humor of the Domingo storyline, proving that sometimes, a good laugh is the best way to open a show.
