A close-up of the shimmering, textured fabric that may have caught the eye of the fashion-focused witnesses in the 'SNL' sketch.NYC TodayColman Domingo, known for his roles in shows like 'Fear the Walking Dead' and 'Euphoria', guest hosted this weekend's edition of 'Saturday Night Live'. In one sketch, he played a teacher named D'Artagnan Meringue from the Fashion Institute of Design who witnessed an armed robbery along with his students, but could only describe the suspect's outfit to a TV reporter.
Why it matters
The sketch played on the stereotype of fashion-focused individuals being more concerned with style than practical details, providing comedic commentary on how witnesses can sometimes get sidetracked when describing a crime. Colman Domingo's appearance as the guest host also highlights his growing prominence as a versatile actor across both dramatic and comedic roles.
The details
In the sketch, Meringue and his students (played by Marcello Hernández, Chloe Fineman, and Jane Wickline) witness an armed robbery, but instead of providing useful details to the reporter (Ashley Padilla), they can only criticize the suspect's outfit. Fineman's character Delaney says 'The 'fit must have been in the unemployment line because it was not working,' while Hernández's Roscoe adds 'The 'fit was giving style by Stevie — Stevie Wonder!'
- The sketch aired on the April 12, 2026 episode of 'Saturday Night Live'.
