Lady Gaga goes dark in an absurdist ‘Saturday Night Live’

This is Lady Gaga’s second time to serve as both host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live — the first time being back in 2013 (with an unfortunate duet with R. Kelly that she’d rather not talk about … except in the monologue), and the question that must be asked is, what took so long? I mean, besides simply not having time for it between her TV appearances, feature films, campaigning for Oscars, being the Super Bowl halftime act, dueting with Tony Bennet, leading a Las Vegas residency, performing in the Olympics opening ceremonies, and getting engaged, what else better did she have to do?
Fortunately, her schedule allowed her to swing by Studio 8H this week, and she gave her all, both in the sketches and in her musical performances. Gaga, who has become a respected actress since her last time hosting SNL, was clearly happy to be there: relaxed, funny, and game for whatever SNL threw at her. And they threw a lot of strange stuff at her: weight-lifting mice, ritual sacrifice, flapper funerals.

Because 2025 is one big experiment to test my patience, Lorne Michaels decided that he needed to bring Shane Gillis, failed SNL cast member, back to host again even though he bombed spectacularly when he hosted for first time last year. And let me tell you, Gillis didn’t do better this go-round. If anything, somehow it was worse. Though he was a serviceable sketch player in a couple of pieces, for the most part, the episode allowed Gillis’ dumb middle-school-level humor to take the lead, and his monologue, once again, completely flopped.
I blame the 6 million Joe Biden voters who couldn’t be fucked to show up to the polls in November. You did this to us. You did this to me.
