Everyone has at least one bad breakup they’d rather forget. For Olivia Rodrigo’s character Saturday night, that breakup was very much front and center.
The sketch finds Rodrigo at a party, freshly face-to-face with an ex she’s determined to make jealous. Her solution is to recruit the perfectly nice, completely game guy standing next to her, played by Tommy Brennan. A solid plan, all things considered.
Her ex, played by Ben Marshall, has the exact same idea. Unfortunately, the woman he recruited for his scheme is being played by Ashley Padilla. So, while Rodrigo and her easygoing pretend date have a genuinely lovely time, the ex’s night devolves into something approaching a minor psychological crisis. Padilla has a particular gift for playing characters who exist just slightly outside the bounds of normal human behavior, and this sketch is a showcase for exactly that.
A great time all around.
