On Saturday, October 15, Megan Thee Stallion was both Saturday Night Live‘s host and musical guest. She performed some hits off her latest album Traumazine, including “Anxiety,” “NDA,” and “Plan B.” Anyone who has ever seen Megan on stage knows she is a bombshell performer, but she got to show off her comedy chops as well in a series of sketches that took full advantage of this Hot Girl’s range.
In her opening monologue, Megan showed off her British accent in an attempt to get on the next season of Bridgerton, which is very relatable. She also took a moment to celebrate her many recent accomplishments and to draw attention to her new mental health platform, badbitcheshavebaddaystoo.com.
The first sketch she appeared in showed Megan as a nurse at “Hot Girl Hospital,” where someone in desperate need of medical attention got a Brazilian Butt Lift surgery instead.
In a less fantastical scene, the rapper was paired with cast performers Bowen Yang and Ego Nwodim in a music video for their song “We Got Brought.” It’s about going to a party with a friend where you don’t know anyone, and then having to act like you’re enjoying making friends.
Another fun prerecorded video spoofed Sarah Maclachlan’s old SPCA ads, fundraising for a group called “St. Andrew’s Center for Shivering Girls.” It pairs old worn-in hoodies with cold, single women. Perfect for lonely girl fall.
And in the final sketch, Megan played a high school student in an honors physics class where the substitute teacher is seriously misunderstanding the situation.
The musical artist did not mention the break-in at her L.A. home on Thursday, during which TMZ reports she $300-$400K in jewelry, cash, and electronics. She later wrote on Twitter, “Hotties I’m really sorry but after SNL I really gotta take a break. I’m so tired, physically and emotionally.”
Megan then added that “material things can be replaced but I’m glad everyone is safe.”
