Lady Gaga Hosts “SNL” and Pokes Fun at Her Past Embarrassments

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’.”
