Lady Gaga slays on ‘SNL’ with musical sketches and performances from ‘Mayhem’
LA TimesThe best “SNL” episodes tend to bend to the sensibilities of the host, and sometimes the musical guest, drawing from their talents as fuel for the big sketch-comedy machine. I will not be convinced it wasn’t a low-key homage to the movie “Conclave.” Gaga sang with Bowen Yang in two sketches, one featuring a couple in a restaurant singing an updated version of Eric Clapton’s “Wonderful Tonight” and another about why slang like “slay” and “bop” should no longer be appropriated. Sometimes “SNL” doesn’t utilize all the talent it can from a very talented host, but this time, with Gaga, the results were impressive throughout.

Kenan Thompson portrayed outspoken former NBA star and current ESPN commentator Kendrick Perkins, but it was Mikey Day as “Lord Gaga,” the fictional husband of the host, who ruled “Update” this week.
