Ashley Padilla has been revealed as one of the three TIME<\/em>100 Next cover stars for 2026. The comedian was recognized\u00a0as one of 100 emerging leaders, including a group of notable entertainers TIME<\/em> described as the world’s most influential rising stars.<\/p>\n

Bob Odenkirk penned an essay<\/a> about Padilla to coincide with the recognition.<\/p>\n

“She creates beautiful, human comedy out of small moments, with precision and joy that somehow always comes from a place of love. Sketch comedy can crystallize the human condition like no other art form\u2014it beats ol\u2019 Shakespeare hands down\u2014and Ashley delivers on this promise,” Odenkirk wrote. “She shows us recognizable people who, in compromised moments, fight like hell to restore their dignity; who can\u2019t let it go; and who remind us of us\u202f…\u202fif we can take it.”<\/p>\n

Padilla also spoke to TIME<\/em><\/a>\u00a0about her experience working on Saturday Night Live<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI find it so collaborative and fun,\u201d Padilla said. \u201cEveryone\u2019s just trying to make people laugh\u2014it can\u2019t be too serious.\u201d<\/p>\n
