0:00On April 29th, Olivia Rodrigo's hyping her Saturday Night Live hosting gig with a promo that backfired in the funniest way. She tells the cast she's there to help make the best show, calling herself their glorified assistant for the week. But Keenan Thompson flips the script, parodying Meryl Streep's epic monologue from the Devil Weir's Prada, roasting her by saying her whole careers, built on their sketches. This drops right as the Devil Weir's Prada sequel hits theaters on May 1st, with Streep, in Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, all back. Talk about perfect timing fans are eating up the nod, linking Olivia's pop world to that cutthroat fashion vibe.

Billboard Number 1 Single Drop Dead Live The clips blowing up online, blending her earnest vibe with SNL's sharp comedy.
