Hernandez, a comedian, writer and actor with Cuban and Dominican roots, started his career performing stand-up in Miami clubs and in online videos. He joined “SNL” in 2022 as both a featured actor and a writer, becoming the show’s first Latin cast member in nearly a decade as well as its first Gen Z member. Hernandez gained widespread attention for his character “Domingo,” particularly in a parody of Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso.”
He was named a Just For Laughs New Face in 2022 and has opened for established names like Dave Chappelle and Colin Jost—the latter at UMD. Hernandez has also appeared in “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and in 2024 released his first comedy special, “Que Paso?.”
