<em>Saturday Night Live</em> recap: Selena Gomez has fun in her ... (EW.com)

Saturday Night Live recap: Selena Gomez hosts 'SNL' season 47, episode 20, with musical guest Post Malone.

This leads to a hilarious live TV moment where she drops a prop and has to recover the bit as Jost laughs. I like that Edmund calls out the tropes here — usually two of the princesses will be normal, and the third will be weird a la The Lawrence Welk Show sketches. Wade. Kroeger approves, saying the show "is best when it is topical to the second and is unafraid of being controversial. The show is as good as it is relevant." The audience is not a fan of this, even when Post Malone appears, rapping about "Dude Nudes." Paranoia gets the best of them. Colin Jost notes it's the end of the season, and welcomes field correspondent Sarah Sherman to take us on a backstage tour. I like the movement and playfulness here. She ends the monologue by leading the audience in a sing-a-long to the Barney theme song. The Donnelly Theater group is putting on a preview performance of A Storm Within by acclaimed Irish playwright Rory McFaddin. Everyone in the show has COVID, so the entire cast for this performance is comprised of understudies who rehearsed for only a half hour. Welcome, Conehead nation, to SNL in Review. The sun is setting — and change, as always, lurks in the air. So he is quite familiar with how seasons wind down, and can speak to the current cast mood: "By May, I'm thinking: 'Thank God the season is almost over, summer will have reruns, and I'll get paid for doing nothing for a few months.'" Fair enough! Next month, she stars in season 2 of Hulu's Only Murders in the Building. If you haven't seen it yet, the first season — costarring Steve Martin and Martin Short — was extremely watchable.

Cue Steve Martin’s appearance in a separately taped segment that elicited cheers from the studio audience watching.

I couldn’t crack it — but then, I met her.” Her eyes were endless. But I just couldn’t figure out what noise.

Tonight's episode of 'SNL' featured a pre-taped Steve Martin sketch on the inventor of the whoopee cushion.

“It was that night he realized the funniest noise that could come out of a butt was a fart,” notes Gosh, who explains that following Gizmo’s epiphany, whoopie cushions began flying off shelves. We then cut to Gizmo himself, who explains that back in the early ’60s, he was just a “struggling gag inventor,” who had thus far created only an early prototype of the whoopie cushion. “We begin with Archie Gizmo, the brilliant inventor of the whoopie cushion.”

"Saturday Night Live" cast members were willing to "do it" and be with a "single" Selena Gomez, but she turned them all down...mostly.

During her monologue Saturday night, Gomez said she was excited to host the show, something she always watched with her mom. She turned down Kyle Mooney and new cast member James Austin Johnson, but when Punkie Johnson stepped in to save her from these "men harassing" her, Gomez teased, "honestly it's a vibe, but let's see how the after party goes." "I've heard that 'SNL' is a great place to find romance," she joked.

Selena Gomez (and Steve Martin) can't energize a less-than ... (The A.V. Club)

The Only Murders in the Building star didn't quite kill in the confines of 30 Rock.

- Despite a strong monologue and “A Peek at Pico,” Gomez came off as somewhat flat throughout the evening. - Sarah Sherman got another “Update” segment as a correspondent who wildly favors Michael Che and lives to denigrate Colin Jost. Sherman absolutely killed in herfirst appearance last fall—it was one of the most electric “Update” debuts in recent memory—so it’s no surprise the show has tried to repeat the feat. - Aidy Bryant deserves special mention—and perhaps dispensation—as the hypersexual Bratz doll who comes to life to counsel her suburban teen owner through a parental divorce: “We watch over you every day, like God, but slutty,” she says, and confesses she has designs on the kid’s dad. This was an air sandwich—a good premise, a sharp moment at the end, and a bunch of generic business in between. (Man, I wish I had the guts of the writer who had access to the comic talents of Steve Martin and delivered him a script premised on flatulence.) Steve Martin shows up (!) in a pre-taped piece in which Gomez is the host of a “Inventor Documentary” about the inventor of novelties like the whoopie cushion. - The show deserves points for trying to take on a topical pop-cultural moment in “Irish Play” (in this case, photos of Take Me Out star Jesse Williams’ onstage nudity being leaked), and it starts out well. This week, there was added potential because of the possibility of cameos from Gomez’s Only Murders costars Steve Martin and Martin Short. In this episode, we only saw half of that duo (fair enough, but in less-than-stellar material) and although Gomez had a few strong moments, she didn’t quite soar on the show, partly because of the writing, partly because of her tendency to come off a bit recessive in sketches. This is a slow burner that was more of a chuckle than a LOL, but it was a fresh and fun meta concept, and then they revealed the third sister’s gown has a cutout revealing her ass. A Netflix show about Japanese toddlers who are tasked with doing errands for their parents and abandoned on public transportation—yes, this is an actual thing—was the solid construct for “Old Enough,” in which a woman (Gomez) asks her childlike long-term boyfriend (Mikey Day) to pick up a few things for her, without her help, if he can stop playing video games. Another demerit: Kate McKinnon opened things up with an impression of MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace that sounded nothing like Wallace and lacked a point of view (and the show did Wallace additionally dirty by misspelling her first name in the chyron). Wallace isn’t the most dramatic anchor on air, but every newsperson has tendencies that can be amplified into comedy, yet there was no attempt here on the page or in performance. The former child actor and Disney star Selena Gomez has achieved recent critical praise in a certain lane: She has a dry, deadpan comic delivery that has made her a beguiling part of the comedy Only Murders in the Building, able to hold her own against SNL veterans Martin Short and Steve Martin. But this affect can read as low-energy in certain lights—she gives Aubrey Plaza vibes sans Plaza’s occasionally manic spark—so Gomez is not the most obvious choice for live sketch comedy.

By focusing on the outlandishness of the trial rather than the he said/she said of it all, it’s quite forgiving of both Depp and Heard. We can all do things and feel absolutely foolish after; it’s what people do. Despite the seeming spitefulness of the segment, it’s actually pretty forgiving of all parties involved.

Selena Gomez took a stab at impersonating her friend and fellow pop star Miley Cyrus during her turn as host on 'SNL' this weekend.

Post Malone is a longtime fan of the band, and ‘Love/Hate Letter To Alcohol was recently teased by the rapper as featuring Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold. “He’s the most beautiful fucking vocalist, the most epic fucking guy,” Post said.

'Saturday Night Live' Review: The Best and Worst of Selena ... (IndieWire)

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE — “Selena Gomez, Post Malone” Episode 1825 — Pictured: Host Selena Gomez during the monologue on Saturday, May 14, 2022 — (Photo by: ...

As for Sherman, with “Bratz Doll” and “Baby Monitor,” she was one of the more featured cast members in this episode. In “Three Daughters,” both she and Nwodim — as the non-weird sisters — were given absolutely nothing to do. While the pre-tape sketch provided Steve Martin as the “star” — Archie Gizmo, inventor of the whoopie cushion and dozens of other gag gifts — both Martin and Gomez gave the floor to Bryant for this sketch. In fact, while Day deserved praise in last week’s episode for his consistency as a performer (where some could call it one-note), it’s worth noting that “Old Enough! Long-term Boyfriends!” actually took him out of that wheelhouse and comfort zone of the type of characters people always say he plays. From the “Irish” accent work from Cecily Strong and Gomez — whose character was struggling with an Australian accent — to the harried Thompson, ultimately deciding to just do the play all by himself, “Irish Play” was delightfully chaotic. “Maybe it’s a metaphor for being different or ugly or stupid or gay,” McKinnon’s “very normal” character guesses, trying to get to the bottom of the fairy tale trope of there being a “weird” sister. While this week was filled with Kyle Mooney, it’s worth noting the sharpshooting performance of Thompson and Day. Both actually crossed paths in “Old Enough! Longterm Boyfriends!,” in what can strangely — as they were both playing men in their late 30s — be described as an adorable moment. Along with her early talking about one of the sisters possibly being weird on purpose, it seemed like there was a chance that “SNL” was trying to do something with the “Three Daughters” sketch, even if it wasn’t especially funny. The only interesting thing about the sketch was that it’s surprising “SNL” hasn’t had Mooney do more Depp impressions over the years. (Again, the cold open from Benedict Cumberbatch’s return episode last week was a much-appreciated take and twist on the political premise, as it also had more of a perspective than all the other impression parade cold opens combined.) On the other, that’s pretty much the only thing to appreciate about this sketch. While the live audience definitely seemed to want her to end up with Punkie Johnson, sadly, that was not what the sketch “Intuition” ended up being about. (The other was in “Irish Play.”)

After her gig hosting Saturday Night Live for the first time, pop star Selena Gomez stepped out for the after party in a sexy, strapless black dress.

“She said, ‘Just be yourself and have fun,’’ Gomez said, imitating the distinctive husky voice of her buddy. Gomez started by saying she asked Cyrus for advice on hosting SNL as a veteran of the gig. The dress featured a thigh-high slit, framing Gomez's legs and drawing attention to her silver heels.

Saturday Night Live Recap: Selena Gomez is Looking for Love (Vulture)

A recap of all the sketches from Saturday Night Live's May 14, 2022 episode, featuring host Selena Gomez host and musical guest Post Malone.

The “ Johnny Depp and Amber Heard Trial Cold Open” was regrettable. Their next guest is a librarian played by Heidi Gardner, whom they introduce as a woman who “hangs out at the library with the books” and quickly dismiss her only a few words into her summer-reading recommendations. Mikey gets handed a bag, a water bottle, and a big sign that says “Stop.” Mikey is perfect in this, as he plays this sort of zombie boyfriend with enough subtlety to make it feel real. Gomez is really good at playing annoyed, and she hit every punch line in “Old Enough” perfectly. (“Don’t get distracted by Ana de Armas, Matt!”) Back at the apartment, Selena offers us some perspective about her boyfriend’s interest in DraftKings and “Adult Legos.” Back to the errand, Mikey runs into Kenan Thompson, who is also on an errand to “get dry-cleaning and a cream that cost $80.” Selena and Mikey both crushed this and made it the best sketch of the night. Melissa and Selena (both of Mexican descent from the Southwest) wonderfully play a couple of cholas hosting a Pico Rivera public-access talk show with shades of “ Bronx Beat” and “ Good Morning, Brooklyn.” They cut back and forth to Mikey as a correspondent reporting from Pico park, never letting him get to the actual segment. Gomez is an absolute pro, and she showed it tonight. This week, Michael Che told the New York Times that his head “has been at leaving for the past five seasons.” I cannot say enough that Michael is irreplaceable behind the desk, bringing an honest, authentic voice that stand-ups work years to master. This week in first-time Saturday Night Live hosts, Selena Gomez stops by alongside musical guest Post Malone. As a former Disney star and current musical superstar/all-around beloved celebrity, Gomez takes the “host with the most Instagram followers” crown from Kim Kardashian, who also made her hosting debut earlier this season. She says one reason she’s excited to host is that she’s single, and it’s a great place to meet people. Gomez lets them down and reminds them that they’re both married before Punkie slips in to let Gomez know she’s also interested.
