Lady Gaga took center stage on Saturday Night Live this weekend, serving as both the host and musical guest. During her monologue, she didn’t shy away from poking fun at a couple of her past missteps—including Joker: Folie à Deux and her infamous collaboration with R. Kelly.
Gaga kicked things off with a self-aware joke, saying, “I’m so happy to be back at ‘SNL’. The last time I hosted was in 2013 and every aspect of my performance aged amazingly. So there’s no need to Google ‘SNL 2013, Lady Gaga featuring R. Kelly’… I won’t bring it up because that would be bad.”
She then addressed her latest film, Joker 2, with a dose of sarcasm: “I’ve been very diligent about selecting films that would showcase my craft as a serious actor. Films such as ‘Joker 2’.” She went on to mention that she and Joaquin Phoenix were nominated for a Razzie Award for Worst Onscreen Duo, adding, “But jokes on them. I love winning things. My Razzie brings me one step closer to an EGORT. It’s like an EGOT, but it’s hurtful.”
To wrap up her monologue, Gaga made a promise to fans: “Tonight I promise to act, to sing, and to not do ‘Joker 3’.”
