Selena Gomez appeared in a “Peek at Pico” sketch when she hosted Saturday Night Live on May 14, 2022, during Season 47. The sketch features Pico, played by Marcello Hernández, as the adorable and overly confident little boy who regularly visits a fictional Spanish-language TV show.
In this sketch, Selena Gomez plays a guest on the show, fawning over Pico just like the other characters. The humor of the sketch comes from everyone treating Pico, who is really a grown man, as if he were a small and innocent child, despite his over-the-top personality and exaggerated cuteness. Selena’s reactions and interactions with Pico add to the lighthearted, comedic tone of the skit.
This sketch became a standout moment from her SNL hosting gig, showing off her comedic timing and how she plays along with the ridiculous nature of the setup.
