The best episodes of “SNL” tend to bend to the sensibilities of the host, and sometimes the musical guest, which are based on their talents as fuel for the large sketch comedy machine. It can be even more perfect when the host is also the musical act, as Lady Gaga demonstrated in his first appearance of guest host since 2013.
What kept it away for so long? Gaga is natural in the program, and on this excursion, he was able to use his tremendous voice and dance movements in multiple sketches, be fun enough to combine with the rest of the cast and promise not to appear in another “Joker” movie.
She made two high -energy musical numbers from her new album “Violence“Abracadabra” and “Killah. “For” Abracadabra “, I wore a brilliant red suit with a flappy skull accessory and ended on a pile of prone bodies. I will not be convinced that it is not a discreet tribute to the movie” Concónimo “.
Gaga sang with Bowen Yang in two sketches, one with a couple in a restaurant Singing an updated version of “Wonderful Tonight” by Eric Clapton and another about why jargon as “Slay” and “Bop” It should no longer be appropriate. He also sang an ode to a weight lifting mouse called PIP. In a sketch, she tried to sell the concept of a funeral of the 20s with Heidi Gardner, and in a couple of commercial parodies, Small red glasses For women of a certain age and L'Oreal Easy Run Mask That caused the crying clearly visible. He was also part of a satanic ritual in a Friendly's restaurant caused by a client who lied about his birthday.
Sometimes, “SNL” does not use all the talent that can be a very talented host, but this time, with Gaga, the results were impressive at all times.
This week's open cold focused on Informed shout match Between Secretary of State Marco Rubio (Marcello Hernández) and Doge Elon Musk leader (Mike Myers, returning) during a White House meeting. President Trump (James Austin Johnson) tries to soften things between Rubio, whom he calls “my good little frame” before anglicizing his name to “Mark Ruby”. Each of the characters retires to internal monologues, with blond listening to the music that ends the episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm”, Trump realizes that he does not have to say everything out loud and musk that makes a gesture of Dr. Evil Pinky while wondering if taking a government work was a bad idea. “America is making 'bad' now,” Trump implored. Surprisingly, the sketch did not present a real -shout match between Rubio and Musk, and Elon Myers' impression already feels as if he were more welcome in just his second appearance.
Lady Gaga's monologue began with some jokes about the age of female pop stars (he is 38 years old, but joked that artists like Chappell Roan and Charli XCX are much older). Gaga promoted his acting skills and had to win a Razzie award for the worst duo on screen (“Joke is in them … I love to win things!” He said); He also mentioned that the man he is committed was created by his mother. She concluded: “I promise to act. And sing. And not make 'Joker 3!' “
The best sketch of the night: why can't luggage be equipped in more romantic comas?
There are many reasons why this sketch could have left the rails for technical or television reasons live: for one, it presents a real puppy. It has many green screen effects of people traveling in luggage on a road. It even has a sequence with Lady Gaga and Hernández, who play young lovers, setting luggage in the backstage and through the audience. But in some way, the strange sketch on a woman who moves to France for the culinary school and arrive at the airport with manageable luggage manages to be absurd: it includes a motorcyclist gang, Samsonite's children, and sweet at the same time. It is an unexpected delight.
Also good: never underestimes pip, the vindictive mous
Many prefilmed sketches are announced as “a noise give noise” in sequences of shocking and cartoon violence, and this is no exception. But before I get there, it tells the story of a small harassed mouse called PIP that goes to high school and laughs for wanting to compete in a weightlifting competition. Lady Gaga, as a comprehensive classmate, sings a very good song while PIP trains using a hot dog wiener like a heavy bag and a bank presses cheese blocks. “Give a cookie to a mouse and he will become lazy,” he sings, “give a mouse a challenge, will work like crazy.” It turns out that PIP cannot raise much weight, but can take revenge on someone who intimidated him.
Winner of the 'Weekend Update': Oh, Lord, is Lady Gaga's husband (false)
Kenan Thompson portrayed the former NBA star and the current ESPN Kendrick Perkins commentator, but it was Mikey Day as “Lord Gaga”, the host fictional husband, who ruled “updates” this week. Making words and tropes words from Lady Gaga (“He married a man. I was simply born in this way”), Lord Gaga minimized his wife's achievements and income before making implications about the very famous wife of Colin Jost, Scarlett Johansson. “Can you imagine a man whose wife earns more money than him?” Lord Gaga shouted: “What a living nightmare!”
