During the October 19, 2024 episode, hosted by Michael Keaton, Billie Eilish made a brief appearance in a nearly four-minute sketch titled "TikTok." In the skit, Eilish dismissed influencer Harry Daniels, played by Bowen Yang, who gained fame by singing to celebrities on the app.

As per a viral TikTok video, the singer showed little interest in going viral as portrayed in a sketch on Saturday Night Live. In the scene, Daniels approached Eilish in a hallway, asking if he could sing to her before bursting into a song.

Annoyed by the interaction, Eilish quickly cut him off by offering him $10,000, asking him to stop following her, and then hurried away. The viral clip has gained reactions from social media fans. One X user wrote:

“The f*cking mannerisms are on point omg I'm howlinggg.”

Netizens jokingly hinted whether Billie Eilish could give them ten grand while others complimented Bowen Yang’s impersonation.

“can she give me 10 grand??? Damn,” a person commented on X.
“Bowen Yang's impersonation of Harry Daniels in the latest SNL sketch with Billie Eilish was spot on and hilarious!” a netizen reacted.
“the REAL interaction between billie & harry daniels was just as hilarious,” another X user wrote.

Social media users reacted to how he made it to SNL while others pointed out a quirky remark that Billie Eilish could have added.

“Definitely needed to add the “stop, have you been scrolling to long” lady that we all swipe so fast…” a social media user pointed out.
“THE "PERIOD" IS SPOT ON LMFAOOO,” an X user reacted.
“Omg no way he made it to snl,” another person wrote on X.
“He’s carrying snl I love him,” a netizens mentioned.

Billie Eilish had previously performed on SNL between 2019 and 2023

During the episode, Billie Eilish made her fourth appearance as the musical guest, performing tracks Birds of a Feather and Wildflower from her Hit Me Hard and Soft album alongside her brother, Finneas.

Eilish had previously appeared on SNL in 2019, 2023, and 2021 when she served as host and musical guest. The performance with Keaton followed last week's Ariana Grande-hosted episode, which featured a live performance by Stevie Nicks.

Fresh off three shows at Madison Square Garden, one of which was attended by Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and his daughter Ella, Eilish acknowledged New York by wearing a Yankees cap during her performance.

The cap was a nod to the team's recent advancement to the World Series for the first time since 2009. Eilish and host Michael Keaton also wore matching "vote" t-shirts during the episode, seemingly supporting Kamala Harris.

Viewers praised the TikTok-inspired sketch for its relatability, with one noting it was one of the most accurate skits in years, and another appreciating the playful take on various TikTok content. One fan also referenced a popular skit from the previous week’s episode, commenting on the quick rise of the Domingo soundtrack on their feed.
