Jake Paul has assured Olivia Rodrigo that there are no hard feelings after the pop star poked fun at the YouTuber turned boxer<\/a> during her Saturday Night Live appearance<\/a> over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Rodrigo, 23, hosted the long-running NBC sketch show on Saturday, kicking off her monologue by recounting some of her early projects as a child actor.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was 13, I was on a Disney show called Bizaardvark, and we had an incredible cast, which included acting legend Jake Paul,\u201d Rodrigo joked.<\/p>\n

The series, which ran for three seasons between 2013 and 2016, followed two best friends (Rodrigo\u2019s Paige and Madison Hu\u2019s Frankie) who write and perform quirky songs and videos for their growing online channel while navigating school and internet fame.<\/p>\n

She continued her monologue: \u201cAnd we\u2019d always talk about our futures, me and Jake. I\u2019d say, \u2018I really wanna create music that explores the complexities of girls my age,\u2019 and he\u2019d say, \u2018Well, one day I really wanna beat up old guys on Netflix.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul, 29, famously fought a 58-year-old Mike Tyson in 2024 in a bout that was widely derided as a spectacle and streamed globally on Netflix.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we both did it, hooray!\u201d Rodrigo concluded.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Paul responded to the joke on X, writing: \u201cWe had the vision [crying laughing emoji] i told you that you would sell stadiums out and then we both did proud of you fr [for real].\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere during Saturday\u2019s show, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and FBI Director Kash Patel faced mockery in the cold open sketch<\/a>, with Aziz Ansari stepping in to play the embattled bureau chief.<\/p>\n

In the sketch, Hegseth, played by Colin Jost, riding high from his Congressional testimony<\/a> this week, and Ansari\u2019s Patel took questions from an exasperated press corps in the White House briefing room. <\/p>\n

\u201cNow, listen up, dingbats, OK? As you might have seen on our sick ass TikTok, we\u2019ve been bombing stuff, doing sick air raids. This war has been a movie, specifically the NeverEnding Story,\u201d Jost\u2019s Hegseth bragged of the war in Iran. <\/p>\n

He then introduced Ansari\u2019s Patel, who entered the room to loud cheers from the audience.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat up? It’s K Dot, AKA Kash with the K, AKA the most effective FBI director this country has ever had, Kash Patel!\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the attempted assassination of President Trump \u2014 another one \u2014 we conducted an investigation that could not have been more thorough,\u201d Ansari said, referencing last weekend\u2019s shooting at the White House Correspondents\u2019 Association Dinner.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe dotted every T and bulls-ed every I. And for those of you saying I’m doing a bad job running the FBI, well, what if I told you this agency is only six weeks away from pinpointing the exact location of Osama bin Laden?\u201d he said, as the audience erupted in laughter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":772143,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[185,171,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-772142","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116515213670713652","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/772142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=772142"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/772142\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/772143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=772142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=772142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=772142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
