Grimes Plays Princess Peach to Elon Musk’s Wario on Super Mario Themed SNL Skit
Last night, Elon Musk hosted Saturday Night Live to the chagrin of many and for a variety of reasons. While the episode was mostly boring and at times, pretty flat, one somewhat good moment came when Musk’s partner, Grimes, appeared on a Super Mario Bros. courtroom sketch where Wario is on trial for taking out Mario, while Luigi is on the stand. In it, Musk played Super Mario Bros. villain Wario while Grimes popped up as Princess Peach. She had a few lines and was called out for sending an… interesting text message as well. You can check out the skit below. [embedded content] Earlier in the week, Grimes teased and subsequently promised she’d pop on SNL alongside Musk, with whom she shares a child, X Æ A-Xii. Last year, Grimes released her new album,&...
Miley Cyrus Plays ‘WITHOUT YOU’ and ‘Plastic Hearts’ on SNL
Last night, Miley Cyrus made her sixth appearance as Saturday Night Live’s musical guest. As promised, she performed her new collaboration with The Kid LAROI, “WITHOUT YOU,” as well as “Plastic Hearts.” Unfortunately, she didn’t pull double-duty this time around, leaving the hosting to Elon Musk. However, she did perform Dolly Parton’s “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” during the show’s cold open, which was an ode to the cast members’ mothers. Cyrus’ own mother, Trish Cyrus, appeared as well.

Elon Musk says he is first SNL host with Asperger’s syndrome
Elon Musk kicked off his “Saturday Night Live” debut by declaring himself to be the first person with Asperger’s syndrome to host the US comedy sketch show. “Or at least, the first person to admit it,” he said. In his opening monologue, the eccentric tech entrepreneur behind Tesla and SpaceX offered an explanation for some of his past eyebrow-raising behavior. “Look, I know I say or post strange things but that’s just how my brain works. To anyone I’ve offended I just want to say, I reinvented electric cars and I’m sending people to Mars in a rocket ship,” he said. “Did you think I was also going to be a chill, normal dude?” Musk has previously drawn criticism for moves like publicly mocking the US Securities and Exchange Commission and calling a cave diver who rescued boys trapped in Thai...

Aidy Bryant, one of SNL‘s longest tenured cast members, reposted a tweet by Senator Bernie Sanders that called it a “moral obscenity” that “the 50 wealthiest people in America today own more wealth than the bottom half of our people.” Bowen Yang, a popular newcomer to the cast, responded to Musk tweeting, “Let’s find out just how live Saturday Night ...
Miley Cyrus Returning to ‘SNL’ as Musical Guest, With Host Elon Musk
The entrepreneur’s SNL appearance will come just days after he and girlfriend Grimes celebrate their son X Æ A-Xii’s first birthday on May 4.

Elon Musk is Hosting SNL. No, Really.
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-24T19:17:27+00:00“>April 24, 2021 | 3:17pm ET Nothing says comedy quite like a multi-billion dollar tech mogul, and yet here we are: Elon Musk, the pioneering force behind Tesla, Space X, and Neurolink, has been booked to host Saturday Night Live on May 8th alongside musical guest Miley Cyrus. To be fair, Elon has jokes for days. Like that time he tweeted, while allegedly under the influence of acid, that he would take Tesla public once its stock price hit $420. After the SEC launched an investigation into Musk’s comments, he admitted to learning about the significance of 420 from his girlfriend, Grimes, and thought she would find his tweet “funny.” Comedy, amirite? Anyhow, in be...
Kid Cudi Wears Dress on ‘SNL’ in Honor of Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain, Rocks Chris Farley Shirt
Kid Cudi paid tribute to Nirvana‘s Kurt Cobain and Saturday Night Live great Chris Farley during his musical guest debut on the long-running NBC sketch comedy show. During the April 10 episode hosted by actress Carey Mulligan, the 37-year-old rapper — born Scott Mescudi — performed two tracks from his 2020 album, Man on the Moon III: The Chosen, while paying his respects to the fallen legends. For his first performance of “Tequila Shots,” Cudi stepped onto the stage wearing a fuzzy olive-green cardigan similar to the one Cobain famously wore during Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged in New York live performance, which aired months before his death in 1994. Underneath, he rocked a white shirt emblazoned with a headshot of the boisterous actor-comedian Farley, who wa...
Kid Cudi & Timothee Chalamet Celebrate Rap’s ‘Weird Little Flute’ on ‘SNL’: Watch
Kid Cudi joined Saturday Night Live‘s Pete Davidson and Chris Redd in a hilarious sketch celebrating one of rap music’s most underrated instruments — the “weird little flute.” “We got the fits, we got the flow, we got the 808s, we got the Xanned out tempo,” the faux hip-hop trio begins the musical skit. “We got that drip-drip-drip, we got that Brut, the only thing that’s missing is that weird little flute.” From there, Cudi, Davidson and Redd take viewers into a music video-reminiscent world of nightclubs, pool halls and music stores to show off their flute-playing skills. They also explore the many other practical applications of the airy woodwind instrument, such as using it for a pool cue, chopsticks and back scratcher.&nb...
