The SNL chaos: Lady Gaga’s surprising comedy chops
Lady Gaga's SNL visit wasn't a haphazard cameo. Her most recent album, Mayhem, which has a wide range of sounds, has been making big waves online and amongst fans. Her appearance in "Little Red Glasses" offered her fans a refreshing (but expected) look at her versatility. Gaga, well-known for her dramatic performances and unique style, demonstrated that she could fit right in with the absurd world of Saturday Night Live.
Her character, Marge, was an awkward but loveable oddball with a peculiar fixation on her glasses, creating a perfect storm of hilarity alongside the talents of Sarah Sherman and Ego Nwodim. Sherman, known for her offbeat and fearless comedic style, was the perfect partner for Gaga in this madness. Ego Nwodim’s calm but hilarious counterbalance kept the scene from spiraling completely out of control, adding layers to the absurdity. The chemistry between the three brought out some of the best moments of the episode.
But this wasn’t the only standout moment for Gaga. Throughout the episode, she took on different personas, delighting fans with her ability to throw herself into every role. And while SNL’s cast has been known to break character during live performances, Gaga managed to keep her cool amid the sketch’s wildness, adding an extra layer of professionalism to the chaos. Gaga’s fans, however, were left speculating whether her comedy chops might lead to more future collaborations with the show.
The episode aired at a time when Gaga had been pushing boundaries in her music. So, it’s no surprise she brought that same energy to SNL. With her new album topping charts and her performance on SNL breaking social media, Gaga is once again proving she can dominate in every field she steps into.
