The sketches detail the ongoing affair between Domingo (Marcello Hernandez) and Kelsey (Chloe Fineman), whose wedding to Matthew (Andrew Dismukes) is the focus of the first sketch. Since its first appearance, the sketch was returned multiple times, with more characters being introduced. Each sketch also includes a parody of a popular song, with lyrics changed to describe the character's actions.[1]
Bridesmaid Speech
[edit]At Kelsey and Matthew's wedding, Kelsey's bridesmaids (Grande, Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim and Sarah Sherman) badly perform a song (to the tune of Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter) detailing the women's bachelorette trip in Charleston, South Carolina. The song details how Kelsey met a man called Domingo and cheated on Matthew with him. In the middle of the song, Domingo shows up and sings to Kelsey. At the end of the sketch, Kelsey apparently leaves Matthew for Domingo.[2]
Babymoon
[edit]Domingo returned to SNL on November 16, 2025.[1][3]
Kelsey is back with Matthew and pregnant with his baby. At Kelsey's baby shower, her friends (Charli XCX, Gardner, Nwodim, Sherman) sing a song about her babymoon, to the beat of Hot to Go! by Chappell Roan. They detail how Kelsey is still in contact with Domingo and how she is pregnant with twins, one fathered by Matthew and one by Domingo. Domingo and Kelsey then shock Matthew by announcing the children will be raised in Miami.[4]
Domingo returned for the third time as part of the Saturday Night Live 50th Anniversary Special, which aired on February 16, 2025.[5]
At Kelsey and Matthew's vow renewal, Kelsey's parents (Martin Short & Molly Shannon) give a drunken speech. Then, her friends (Carpenter, Gardner, Nwodim, Sherman) sing a song to the beat of Defying Gravity (in reference to Grande's role in the film adaptation). They sing about how on a trip to New York City Kelsey says she will try to commit to monogamy with Matthew. They continue with a parody of You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift. After they went to see Wicked on Broadway, they went to Madame Tussauds and went through Central Park. When she threw a coin into a fountain she wishes she could be with Domingo, who appears once again to sing, suggesting an open relationship.
Then, Matthew's groomsmen (Bowen Yang, Andy Samberg, [[Kyle Mooney, Beck Bennett) sing about a golf trip to Scottsdale, Arizona to the beat of Espresso where Matthew cheated on Kelsey with a man named Renaldo (Pedro Pascal), who is Domingo's brother. They are joined by a third brother, Santiago (Bad Bunny), who has history with Kelsey's mother.[6][7]
Reception
[edit]The first sketch gained viral attention online, racking up 11 million views on YouTube and 15.2 million on TikTok by November 26, 2024.[8]
On 17 November, 2024, Hernandez made an in-character appearance at Sabrina Carpenter's Short n' Sweet tour show in Los Angeles.[9][10][11][12]
