Pedro Pascal Just Said That He Was 'Really, Really Upset' When He Missed His 'SNL50' Cue 'Three Times In A Row,' And I Lowkey Want To Give Him A Hug

Buzz Feed26-03-2025
Last month, a whole bunch of celebrities got together to mark Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary with a special live episode full of hilarious skits and famous faces. One of these sketches was 'Domingo,' which first went viral in October 2024 when Ariana Grande, Heidi Ego, and Sarah Sherman sang a version of 'Espresso' by Sabrina Carpenter.
So, it was perhaps inevitable that Sabrina would take part in the sketch for SNL50, and the star was joined on stage by actor Pedro Pascal, who played Ronaldo. As part of the act, Pedro had a short song to sing to the tune of 'Espresso' about how he'd hooked up with the groom at a wedding, however, viewers were left feeling bad for the star as he seemingly struggled to find the beat.
'Hey man,' Pedro began, before repeating: 'Hey… Hey man…' he then found his cue and continued with the rest of the song.
At the time, people had nothing but full sympathy for the beloved actor as they posted on social media to acknowledge the blunder. And now, Pedro himself has addressed what happened, and said that he was 'really, really upset' to have missed the cue not once but three times.
In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Pedro called the sketch his 'nightmare of karaoke,' and said he was the first person to mess up during that night's live show. He recalled: "I was the first record scratch of the night by missing my cues like three times in a row."
'I remember thinking: 'Fuck! I fucked up!' Pedro continued. 'I was really, really upset with myself for missing the cues. I feel like there was a cognitive and auditory failure on my part where I was so nervous I really couldn't hear what was happening or what the cue was. I guess no matter what kind of singing and how bad or funny it's supposed to be, I have just sheer terror of having to sing in any kind of capacity."

The star went on to reveal that Sabrina warned him just before the skit that she planned to grind 'hard' on him, which he did not have an issue with — however, he admitted that he can barely remember his experience on SNL50 outside of his mistake.
'[Sabrina] was like: 'OK! So I got a note last minute.' And I was like: 'Yeah, yeah, yeah,' she's like: 'I'm going to be grinding on you hard.' And I was like: 'You do whatever you want,'' Pedro shared. 'And then before I knew it, we were up on stage. It's kind of like an outer body experience that I can barely recall outside of my fuck up.'
Personally, I don't think that Pedro should be so hard on himself! You can rewatch the clip below and let me know your thoughts on everything in the comments:

Why ‘The Office' cast would sneak back onto set after hours: Brian Baumgartner

It was after business hours. 'The Office' star Brian Baumgartner has revealed that the cast used to sneak back on set after filming — for one key reason. 'There were some nights where we came back to Dunder Mifflin late at night when the shooting had stopped,' Baumgartner, 52, exclusively told The Post. 'The people who were involved in the Fantasy Football league would sit at all of the working computers, and draft in person together there.' 9 Brian Baumgartner in his interview with the New York Post. 9 Brian Baumgartner as Kevin with his chili on 'The Office.'

'Those are very fond memories, for sure.' Baumgartner played the chili-loving Kevin Malone from 2005 to 2013. The NBC comedy also starred Steve Carrell, John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fisher and Mindy Kaling. They played staffers at the paper company, Dunder Mifflin. Baumgartner is still in a fantasy football league with many of his former co-stars, including Wilson and Krasinski. 9 Brian Baumgartner with Samuel Adams Octoberfest.

'If you draft wrong, you're going to hear from me, probably Rainn Wilson as well. He's a big trash talker.' Carrell, however, isn't in their league. 'He's kind of a Patriots guy. And hockey is more Steve's thing,' he noted. 'Steve still played hockey while we were shooting the show in a rec league.' The cast would even play Fantasy Football on their characters' computers when the cameras rolled. 'We were probably all much better players when we had time there to just sit and look at our computers,' he said. 9 Kate Flannery as Meredith Palmer, B.J.

'It's hard to really have people understand how small that conference room really was.

'We all felt a little punch drunk…..Steve really thrived in those moments and very clearly to me, he did his best to try to make us laugh.'

Jillian Michaels pushes back on claims made against her in Netflix's 'Biggest Loser' docuseries

The fitness trainer said she's considering suing Netflix over the allegations made against her in 'Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser.' Jillian Michaels is pushing back against claims made about her in Netflix's newly released docuseries, Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser, which began streaming on Aug. 15. The series delves into the history of the NBC reality show, The Biggest Loser, which the fitness trainer co-hosted for 12 seasons. Among the claims made in the docuseries is that Michaels put extreme restrictions on contestants' diets, bragged to one season winner that he had made her 'a millionaire' and broke show rules by giving contestants caffeine pills to help them lose weight. The docuseries features interviews with Michaels's cohost Bob Harper, the show's medical consultant Dr. Robert Huizenga and former contestants, cast and crew members. Michaels shared four Instagram posts on Tuesday that she says challenge the accusations made against her in the Netflix series. Her screenshots include statements attributed to The Biggest Loser's executive producers Mark Koops and Dave Broome, emails with producers and a former contestant, and an email from former NBC Entertainment chairman Paul Telegdy. In addition to the Instagram posts, Michaels said she's also considering filing a lawsuit against Netflix, telling TMZ that she'd already scheduled a meeting with Bryan Freedman, an entertainment lawyer who is representing Justin Baldoni in his legal battle against Blake Lively. In one of her posts, Michaels shared a screenshot of an email from 2010 to a contestant on the show telling her to eat 1,600 calories the following day, as well as screenshots of emails with show producers and medical staff, which, she wrote in the caption, show her 'emphasizing the ongoing priority of ensuring contestants were adequately nourished.' Michaels also posted screenshots of text messages that she said were sent to her business partner but the screenshots themselves do not show who they are from. In one exchange, the unidentified messenger sent a quote attributed to Broome saying he did not 'hear any comment from Jillian about becoming a millionaire during the live finale.' In the second screenshot, the sender says Koops said the cast was wearing microphones at the time and that 'no one is aware of any recording capturing such a comment.' Michaels specifically took issue with the claim that she broke rules and gave contestants caffeine pills — an accusation that had been made prior to the current Netflix series. In a 2013 Biggest Loser episode, host Alison Sweeney confronted Michaels on-air: 'Last week Jillian broke the rules and gave caffeine supplements to each member of her team without a doctor's permission.' In the Netflix series, Huizenga said he had banned coffee because 'people were abusing it.' However, multiple former contestants who were interviewed said they were given these caffeine supplements while filming the show. 'Dr. Huizenga did approve caffeine pills on many seasons,' Michaels wrote on Instagram. 'Bob Harper not only knew about the caffeine pills the 'stacks fat burner' were actually his suggestion. I wanted to use my brand instead because they were cleaner and had no more than 200mg of caffeine.' The Biggest Loser debuted on NBC in 2003 and aired for more than a decade. On the show, contestants competed to lose the highest percentage of body weight within 30 weeks, often using weight loss methods including 'strenuous exercise' and 'caloric restriction,' which were criticized by doctors and nutritionists outside the show at the time, the New York Times reported in 2009.
