‘SNL’ Promo: Olivia Rodrigo Meets A Devil In Prada

A Prada-wearing devil shows up on this week’s SNL promo, and it’s not Meryl Streep or Anna Wintour.

Olivia Rodrigo is there though — she’s both the host and musical guest this week — but the devil is James Austin Johnson, out-Streeping Streep.

In the promo, Rodrigo arrives at Studio 8-H to be greeted by cast members Andrew Dismukes and Jane Wickline, who are all smiles until fellow cast member Tommy Brennan rushes in to warn, “Hey guys! He’s on his way!”

Panic ensues at the imminent arrival of Someone Big, and if you’re thinking Lorne Michaels, think again. Johnson barges in, wearing some sort of candy-apple-color fur coat and cooly issuing demands in a perfect, beat-for-beat take on Streep’s famous scene in the first The Devil Wears Prada. Where Streep’s Miranda Priestly casually filleted Anne Hathaway’s Andrea Sachs over the latter’s offhand comment about blue belts, Johnson goes off on Rodrigo’s use of the word “skits.”
