Olivia Rodrigo roasted Jake Paul on Saturday Night Live, taking aim at his boxing venture with Mike Tyson. The pop star recalled working with Paul and joked about his career ambitions, claiming he once told her, "one day I really wanna beat up old guys on Netflix."
Rodrigo performed a parody of her hit "Drivers License" during the sketch, keeping the jab light but pointed. The joke lands harder given Paul's actual 2024 boxing match against the legendary Mike Tyson on Netflix, which became a cultural talking point for both the spectacle and the optics of the matchup.
The callback works because it captures the absurdity many felt watching a YouTuber-turned-boxer face a 58-year-old icon. Rodrigo's willingness to needle Paul suggests a friendly rapport between the two, though her timing proves her instinct for what audiences actually find funny. The SNL performance gave her a platform to score a clean hit against one of pop culture's most polarizing figures, and she landed it.
