"Effortlessly funny and charming" - Saturday Night Live fans appreciate Oscar-winner Mikey Madison's monologue

Mikey Madison hosted Saturday Night Live on March 29, 2025. The episode featured her hosting debut, where she delivered a humorous monologue in a black sparkly dress that fans absolutely adored.

She stepped onto the stage and introduced herself as the host of the episode. Talking about her recent project, the movie Anora, Mikey discussed how it had won 5 Oscars and thus, March was a busy month for her.

Appearing in the Cold Open, Mikey was joined by Ego Nwodim and Sarah Sherman. They happen to be a high school trio where Jennabell, Mikey's character, is the queen bee, and everyone "defers" to her.

Soon, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance, played by Andrew Dismukes and Bowen Yang, respectively, join the chat and share sensitive information in the group.

Fans appreciated seeing Mikey making her hosting debut on Saturday Night Live, especially the monologue. Talking about the same on Twitter, a fan commented:

"Mikey Madison absolutely nailed her SNL monologue—effortlessly funny and charming! She’s got that perfect mix of wit and cool confidence."

"Lol at Mikey Madison talking about being a "self-proclaimed horse girl" when she was younger during her SNL monologue: 'In a way, I kind of feel like horseback riding prepared me for doing Anora, but instead of riding horses I was riding a Russian twink.'," said another fan on Twitter.

However, fans were not appreciative of how Mikey was paired up with Morgan Wallen, who has been involved in a variety of controversies in recent times. Expressing their disappointment over the same, a fan commented:

"can't believe the musical guest for mikey madison's first time on snl is that flaming r*cist.......... we needed a DIVA"

"Morgan Wallen barely acknowledges Mikey Madison and then immediately storms off stage like a baby during the SNL goodbyes. Woof," wrote another fan.

Saturday Night Live fans express their admiration for Mikey Madison's performance

Mikey Madison appeared as a host on Saturday Night Live with musical guest Morgan Wallen. During her monologue, she started by talking about her personality and how she is a "relaxed" person.

That is why she tries to "incorporate" the same vibe into her roles in movies and shows. However, the clips that rolled out next established her sarcasm by showing cuts from her different acting projects.

In these, she is either screaming, beating someone, or getting lit on fire. Addressing how there are two scenes where she is being burned, Mikey says that it is from different movies and that is called "range."

Shifting the conversation to her childhood on Saturday Night Live, Mikey revealed that she had a connection with her horse called Thumbelina, and the bond was similar to two people in a relationship. She recalled dressing up for Halloween with her pony as jailbirds who were caught for the crime of stealing each other's hearts.

Mikey claimed she was a "self-proclaimed horse girl," which is a nerd with long hair. She was homeschooled, and this is where her passion towards barn animals began.

Then, introducing her twin brother on Saturday Night Live, she wanted the audience to guess who he was in a lineup consisting of four men. Her brother was the one who looked like "Ron Weasley on testosterone" and nothing like her at all.

Ending her monologue, Mikey tried to prove that all the pole dancing she did on Anora was by herself, and it was not a stunt double.
