The hilarious teasers between Yang and Gaga are giving fans a taste of what to expect from this SNL-gone-Mayhem. Between playfully mentioning Timothée Chalamet, cheekily singing about brand activations, and breaking down the inspiration behind "Abracadabra," the Little Monster will be tuning in for this one, that's for sure.
Yang masterfully delivers his comedic timing, effortlessly blending humor with undeniable enthusiasm. A self-proclaimed Gaga superfan, the comedian made it clear to Entertainment Tonight that he "wouldn't miss a moment" of seeing her double-duty take on SNL.
In the teaser, a gleeful Yang tells Gaga about his plans to see her at Coachella next month, even though he has to work at a Chobani stand selling açaí bowls in order to attend. In another exchange, Yang proudly reveals a tattoo on his chest that reads "Alejandro" — a nod to one of Gaga's most iconic hits. They have a cute little duet, but Gaga is clearly struggling to hide her face of concern that Yang's "Alejandro" reference is rather wrong.
This has been a milestone season for Saturday Night Live as the long-running NBC comedy series celebrates its 50th anniversary.
Gaga's history with SNL started with her role as a musical guest in 2009 (with Ryan Reynolds hosting). She returned in 2013, this time as both host and musical guest, delivering iconic ARTPOP performances and impressing audiences with her comedy chops.
During this next appearance, Gaga is back to inject some Mayhem into Saturday night.
Lady Gaga's new episode as the host and musical guest of Saturday Night Live airs Saturday, March 8, on NBC.
