Raye is making her Saturday Night Live debut this weekend (April 5) — but first, she received a valuable slang lesson from Kristen Wiig and Bowen Yang.
“It’s always such an honor to work with an OG,” Yang tells Wiig, who is a former SNL cast member and is set to host the show for the milestone fifth time. Wiig then clarifies to Raye that “OG” stands for “Opulent Girl,” which leads the “Escapism” singer to look confused given that the acronym actually stands for “Original Gangster.”
Yang then interjects, “Yeah, OG, a girl who is ostentatiously rich or luxurious or lavish. I can’t believe you’ve never heard of that Raye!”
Wiig’s new series Palm Royale — which she both stars in and executive produced — premieres March 20 on AppleTV+. The former Saturday Night Live cast member will be hosting the episode, while Raye will be making her SNL debut as musical guest. The British singer-songwriter recently made history by taking home six BRIT Awards, the most ever awarded to one artist in a single year.
Watch the promo below, and catch Saturday Night Live on Saturday (April 6) at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC, before the episode begins streaming on Peacock.
