“SNL” returned to the air for the latest episode in its 50th season on Saturday, March 8, with Lady Gaga pulling double duty as host and musical.
The singer and actress born Stefani Germanotta first pulled double duty as host and musical guest back in 2009, but has also regularly participated in pre-taped sketches during the episodes where she was solely the musical guest.
Gaga is enough of an “SNL” regular that she was featured in the “SNL 50” concert spectacular, performing a medley of Lonely Island songs with Andy Samberg.
The March 8 episode kicked off with a political cold open that satirized the goings-on in the White House, with President Trump (James Austin Johnson) dressing down Marco Rubio (Marcello Hernandez).
