Lady Gaga can do it all. At least she’s going to try to when she both hosts and performs as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live tomorrow (March 8). You know, “just like Tiomothée Chalamet” did a few weeks ago, she proudly tells cast member Bowen Yang in the second promo for this weekend’s episode
“Damn,” Bowen says with a dismissive head tilt and crossed arms. “Good luck girl.”
“Thanks,” Gaga responds, seeming a bit peeved, as Yang softens up and gives her a sweet “you’re welcome.”
The second run finds the two a bit chummier, with Gaga leaning in to touch Yang’s chest as he reveals that he’s sooooo excited to see her perform at Coachella next month. “You’re going?” she asks. “Yeah, but I’ll be at the Chobani tent handing out açaí bowls… for whoever wants açaí,” Yang explains with an annoyed look at his mandatory sponcon gig.
“Well, that’s the best part of Coachella,” Gaga assures him as they bust out their best jazz hands to yell in unison “BRAND ACTIVATIONS!”
After a bit about Gaga’s hit Mayhem song “Abracadabra,” the pair land the plane with a most embarrassing reveal from Yang. Blushing, the Wicked-ly talented break-out star of the show pulls down the collar of his T-shirt to reveal the new chest tattoo he got honoring his favorite Gaga song, “Alejandro.”
“Bowen, who is that?” Gaga says concerned. “Hello? That’s Alejandro, Alejandro Mayorkas, the seventh United States Secretary of Homeland Security? Keep up!” he tells her as if she is dense or something. “Bowen… that’s not,” she says before they bust into the chorus of the 2010 single from her The Fame Monster album.
Gaga’s seventh studio album, Mayhem, is out now and she will take the stage at Coachella as a headliner at this year’s event, which takes place from April 11-13 and April 18-20.
