SNL host Selena Gomez‘s opening monologue made headlines for its spot-on Miley Cyrus impression and sweet Barney sing-along, but the singer and actress really showed off her comedic skill in a variety of sketches Saturday night (May 14).
In just one episode, Gomez pulled off being a Bratz doll, a Latina talk show host, a documentarian, a princess, a jealous partner, a bad understudy, a model spokesperson, an irresponsible older sister and a way-too-patient girlfriend.
In total, Gomez starred in nine sketches during her gig on Saturday Night Live — and only broke character once.
Watch them all below, and see the full episode on Hulu here. The streaming service is currently offering a 30-day free trial, which you can sign up for here.
“Bratz Dolls”
Gomez brings a Bratz doll to life when a young girl’s parents break the news of their divorce. She’s Jade, one of three “sexy dolls for pre-teens.”
