Watch Lady Gaga's SNL Monologue and Sketches from March 8, 2025
The "Abracadabra" singer's double duty ep brought a slew of surreal sketches, and a musical collab with Gaga superfan Bowen Yang.
"I know you might be thinking I'm here to my promote my album Mayhem, but I'm actually here to remind you that I'm an amazing actor," Lady Gaga told the audience during her March 8 Saturday Night Live monologue. She did both, actually: In addition to starring in hilariously surreal sketches like the pretaped short "Pip," the pop star crushed performances of "Abracadabra" and "Killah," the latter of which made creative use of the Studio 8H hallways.
Following Mike Myers' return as Elon Musk in the cold open, Gaga skipped the singing in favor of a straightforward monologue that poked fun at her 2024 Joker 2 movie.
"Apparently people thought it was awesome, and Joaquin and I even got nominated for a Razzie — which is an award for the worst films of the year," she said. "So we won for Worst on Screen duo. But joke's on them: I love winning things, and my Razzie brings me one step closer to an EGORT. It's like an EGOT, but it's hurtful."
Gaga also joked about meeting her fiance, Michael Polansky, through her mother, and revealed that "superfan" Bowen Yang would introduce her performance, 'but I think I make him nervous."
"Bowen, are you happy I'm here?" she asked him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Lady Gaga!" Yang exclaimed. But the Season 50 cast member was cool as a cucumber during the two's "Wonderful Tonight" sketch, in which they sang an odd new version of the Eric Clapton classic.

"Little Red Glasses"
"I want my style to match how I am on the inside — spunky and a little bit funky. I want people to see me and think she's got it going on! I'm no spring chicken, but this hen still knows how to cluck. That's why we wear little red glasses."
"Birthday at Friendly's"
No one should dare lie about their birthday just to get a free desert after this cautionary tale.
