Dakota Johnson and SNL's Please Don't Destroy Address Hollywood Nepotism in Roast Battle

The sketch culminated in a 'nepo truce,' acknowledging their industry connections, while highlighting the disparity for those without such ties.

Dakota Johnson, the host of the latest Saturday Night Live episode, engaged in a roast battle with the comedy group Please Don't Destroy, which includes SNL writers Ben Marshall, Martin Herlihy, and John Higgins.
The roast escalated into a discussion of nepotism in Hollywood, as Johnson, Herlihy, and Higgins are all children of industry figures, while Marshall is not.
Johnson, daughter of actors Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, and Herlihy, son of former SNL producer Tim Herlihy, agreed to a 'nepo truce' during the sketch, acknowledging their privileged industry connections.
The 'nepo truce' involved the participants pressing their 'nepo rings' together and reciting the phrase, 'A foot in the door and so much more,' a nod to the argument that nepotism only provides an initial opportunity, not guaranteed success.
Marshall, without industry connections, was excluded from the 'nepo truce,' highlighting the disparity between those with and without industry ties.
