Olivia Rodrigo Taunts Jake Paul's Boxing Career in Hilarious 'SNL' Moment

Olivia Rodrigo jested about her former Disney Channel co-star Jake Paul during her hosting appearance on "Saturday Night Live." During the show, where she both hosted and performed as a musical guest, Rodrigo humorously reflected on their past together on "Bizaardvark."

Reflecting on Their Rise to Fame

In her opening monologue, Rodrigo discussed how she and Paul have progressed in their careers. She recently released her third studio album while Paul has pursued ventures in YouTube and boxing.

Rodrigo humorously recalled conversations they had when they were younger: while she aspired to create music for girls her age, Paul joked about beating up older opponents.

Paul's Reaction to the Joke

The boxing match between Paul and retired champ Mike Tyson in 2024 was notably streamed on Netflix. After Rodrigo’s SNL joke, Paul responded light-heartedly on social media, expressing pride in their achievements.

Despite some fans interpreting Rodrigo's comment as mocking, Paul acknowledged it was all in good humor and didn't alter his admiration for her work.

The Legacy of "Bizaardvark"

"Bizaardvark" aired from 2016 to 2019, chronicling the adventures of best friends Paige and Frankie as they produced content for their online channel. Paul played Dirk Mann for one season, participating in daring challenges on the show.

Last year, Paul reminisced positively about those days with People magazine, noting the experience kickstarted his career as an influencer.
