Lady Gaga Delivers a Double Dose of Mayhem on SNL as Host and Musical Guest
Mike Myers Makes Surprise Cameo as Elon Musk
Lady Gaga joker made a grand return to Saturday Night Live (SNL) on March 8, 2025, pulling double duty as both host and musical guest. Known for her theatrical performances and eccentric style, Gaga delivered a night of high-energy music and surreal comedy that left fans buzzing.
Gaga’s Electrifying Performances
Performing songs from her latest album, Mayhem, Gaga mesmerized the audience with two unforgettable musical numbers.
- “Abracadabra” Performance: Dressed in a dazzling red jumpsuit, she commanded the stage like a mystical queen, joker wielding a cane as she moved with intense precision.
- “Killah” Performance: Wearing an oversized purple suit with ballooning shoulders, she channeled joker icons like David Byrne and Prince, prancing through the studio halls and even writhing on the floor for dramatic effect.
Both performances showcased Gaga’s commitment to the bizarre and artistic, reminding fans why she remains one of the most captivating performers of her time.
A Night of Surreal Comedy
Beyond the music, Gaga’s comedic chops shined in sketches that leaned into absurdity. From surreal premises to physical comedy, her oddball energy fit perfectly with SNL’s 50th season.
One of the night’s highlights was the Cold Open, featuring an explosive meeting at the White House. James Austin Johnson’s Donald Trump tried to mediate a heated argument between Elon Musk and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. In a surprise cameo, SNL alum Mike Myers played Musk, adding an over-the-top comedic twist.
During her Monologue, Gaga reflected on her career, joking about turning 38, her New York roots, and even referencing the Joker: Folie à Deux backlash. She playfully assured fans there would be no Joker 3.
Gaga’s Legacy on SNL
This wasn’t Gaga’s first time hosting SNL—her last stint was back in Season 39. Former cast member John Milhiser recalled working with her in the classic “Fourth Grade Talent Show” sketch, where she proved her ability to play a “normal” character while still being hilarious. Milhiser described her as collaborative and down-to-earth, adding that she embraced every comedic challenge thrown her way.
From commanding the stage to fully immersing herself in SNL’s unique humor, Lady Gaga once again proved that she is more than just a pop star—she’s a performer in every sense of the word.
