Lady Gaga is about to bring the mayhem to 30 Rock, with the superstar locked in to pull double duty on Saturday Night Live for the second time in her career one day after her new album drops.
As announced Tuesday (Feb. 18), Gaga will both host and serve as musical guest on the sketch comedy series’ March 8 episode, which will air just one day after her highly anticipated seventh studio LP, Mayhem, arrives. The big night will come more than a decade after the 14-time Grammy winner first made her hosting debut in 2013.
Also heading to SNL in the near future is Tate McRae, who is set to perform on the show for the second time March 1. The episode will be hosted by veteran comedian Shane Gillis.
Like Gaga, the “Greedy” musician — who made her performance debut on the series in November 2023 — is also gearing up to release an album ahead of her latest SNL stint: So Close to What, which drops Friday (Feb. 21) and will feature collaborations with boyfriend The Kid Laroi and Flo Milli.
The news of Mother Monster and McRae’s upcoming SNL dates comes just a couple days after the Lorne Michaels-created program celebrated 50 years on the air with a weekend of special events, starting with an anniversary concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Friday (Feb. 14). Gaga was one of several artists who performed during the show, singing the show’s iconic “D-ck in a Box” parody song with Andy Samberg, Bad Bunny, Eddie Vedder and more.
Two days later, SNL hosted a red carpet and live special that saw all-stars Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Bill Murray, Rachel Dratch, Tom Hanks, Adam Sandler, Kristen Wiig and more reunite in front of a star-studded crowd. The anniversary installment also included another appearance from Benito as well as performances from Sabrina Carpenter, who duetted with Paul Simon on “Homeward Bound” and played a part in the latest addition to Marcello Hernandez’s viral “Domingo” saga.
