\t\t\t\t\tCharli XCX Gets Intro From Julia Fox, Performs \u2018360\u2019 and \u2018Sympathy Is a Knife\u2019 on \u2018SNL&#8217\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tThe sketch begins with a voiceover for the movie: \u201cAudiences can\u2019t wait to see the star-studded cast of Wicked,\u201d as clips from the Jon M. Chu-directed film, featuring Ariana Grande<\/a> as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, play on screen. \u201cBut before production starts, actors across Hollywood audition to step foot in Oz. Here are their never-before-seen screen tests.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe sketch features a series of hilarious fake auditions from various celebrities, including JoJo Siwa (Chloe Fineman), Bernie Sanders (Sarah Sherman), Sydney Sweeney (Fineman), Al Pacino (Dana Carvey), Martha Stewart (Fineman), and Bad Bunny (Marcello Hernandez).<\/p>\n

\n\tCharli kicks things off with a spot-on impression of Adele<\/a>. Dressed in an elegant black dress and sporting long, wavy hair reminiscent of the British singer\u2019s look during her Weekends With Adele residency in Las Vegas, Charli\u2019s Adele exclaims, \u201cOh, hello, can I take me shoes off? OK, wicked!\u201d as she flings off her heels and struts down a yellow brick road. \u201cOh my God! I said the name of the bloody movie! That\u2019s f\u2014ing funny!\u201d she adds, laughing with exaggerated flair.<\/p>\n

\n\tLater in the sketch, SNL<\/em>\u2018s Bowen Yang, who famously impersonated Charli<\/a> during the show\u2019s Season 50 premiere, returns to play Charli once again \u2014 this time while standing next to Charli herself, who appears as her Sweat tour mate Troye Sivan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cCan I call you Elphie?\u201d Bowen\u2019s Charli asks, prompting Troye (played by Charli) to respond, \u201cNo.\u201d Bowen continues, \u201cI only bullied you because I\u2019m a b\u2014- and you\u2019re a witch. And you\u2019re a witch, I\u2019m confused.\u201d Charli\u2019s Sivan clarifies, \u201cI\u2019m not a witch. I\u2019m a top.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tYang also plays Pfannee in Wicked<\/em>, which hits theaters on Nov. 22.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere in the episode, Charli electrified the crowd with performances of \u201c360\u201d and \u201cSympathy Is a Knife,\u201d<\/a> both tracks from her sixth album, Brat<\/em>. Released in June, the set debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and earned widespread acclaim, including a 2025 Grammy nomination for album of the year.<\/p>\n

\n\tSaturday\u2019s appearance marked Charli\u2019s third time on SNL<\/em>, following previous musical guest spots in 2014 and 2022.<\/p>\n
