In this Saturday Night Live sketch featuring this weekend’s host, Teyana Taylor, the Golden Globe winner plays one of several overly inquisitive students in a confidence class led by Ashley Padilla.
Padilla’s character explains she started teaching confidence after bombing a job interview, a seemingly simple confession that immediately sends the class spiraling. What begins as encouragement quickly devolves into an aggressive group interrogation, with Taylor, Mikey Day, Kenan Thompson, and Marcello Hernández fixating on every possible detail.
Naturally, the questions get unhinged fast. What was she wearing? Leather gloves and “nice leather pants.” What was the job? Michelle Obama’s speechwriter. The room grows increasingly skeptical, especially after Padilla’s résumé comes into play, which proudly lists skills such as “do voices” and 9 years of experience as a Dolly Parton impersonator.
Asked to do the former, she does a questionable Yoda voice. Then, when asked to do the latter, she refuses as it’s too close to the Yoda voice. Amazing stuff.
