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.

Saturday Night Live Recap Season 47, Episode 20: Selena Gomez ... (TooFab)

From Jesse Williams's NSFW Broadway exposure to a deep dive into the Depp/Heard trial, this week's show was at its funniest when at its weirdest -- and when ...

It was a catch piece with a lot of fun interplay between Selena Gomez and Chris Redd as the couple, but the all-stars were definitely Punkie and Post revealing how to hack into your partner’s phone and just become the worst version of yourself. Sarah has such a fresh and exciting energy she brings to the show, with a unique comic sensibility. In a fun segment that immediately reminded us of Kevin Nealon’s “News From 10 Feet Away,” Jost then cut to Sarah Sherman standing just a few rows in front of the “Update” desk to offer viewers a tour of the studio. It’s nice to see them poised to go out of the season strong! The whole format of the sketch was flawless, though Selena Gomez as host turned out to be entirely unnecessary as Steve was telling his own story perfectly. They didn’t even need the penis, just the awful performance deliveries by the cast with Kenan interjecting constantly to try to keep the play on track was enough to keep the laughs coming. A strong enough premise that had some potential, but it went on a little too long and then petered out with no real ending. Selena was giving a strange delivery in this one, as if she wasn’t quite feeling the material or didn’t feel confident in her role or her lines or something. It was inevitable that we’d go all in on the Depp/Heard trial, but we were really hoping for something a little sharper in its humor, and funnier in its execution. It’s a play on the common fairy tale trope that one sister is odd in some way, but all three of Kenan Thompson’s daughters seemed so normal. We wrap up with a look at the cast-member who had the strongest week. Hopefully, though, they’ve saved their best for last as it would be a shame for a pretty strong season to go out with a whimper next week.

Selena Gomez made her Saturday Night Live hosting debut with a little help from her Only Murders in the Building co-star Steve Martin.

The truth is, I'm drawn to Blondelia, though I fear there's a catch' After Selena decided to go 'cool down' in the bedroom, her boyfriend was then visited by his own intuition, played by Post. 'I guess I just thought there would be something messed up about her because there's three of them and the third one is her. She hangs out at the library with the books. Last night, I asked him to get an eyeliner pencil and two shallots and he brought home ten pounds of onions and a blush palette for African American women. 'I was like, Miley, is that just an excuse for me to do an impression of you on the show? And now, we're remaking it here but since Americans don't send toddlers out into the world alone, we had to find an equally helpless group, and we did. The talented musician also performed in two skits with Selena 'I remember telling my friends that I was cast in a show Only Murders and she said sounds sexy. She was also the viciously most unlucky woman I had ever met,' he stated. 'I fell in love with Dina, and she was behind every good idea I ever had. 'All I had was an early prototype of the cushion.

Selena Gomez debuted hosting SNL on May 14. Despite her successful career, fans learned about the singer's beginnings as she reminisced her time on Barney.

Named after the infamous Selena Quintanilla, she had already some sort-of fame inside her. It’s clear to say that Selena had an impressive and engaging monologue. Alongside Demi Lovato, the Selena Gomez appeared on the iconic child series, Barney & Friends. SNL is a live comedy sketch show where the audience gets to see humorous skits played out in real time. But many people didn’t realise that Selena Gomez appeared in Barney episodes way back. Debuting as a host on SNL last night, the actress went back a decade from today and remembered her first time on television.

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.

“And all I had was a prototype of the cushion.” Her injuries led to more of Archie Gizmo’s inventions like a hand buzzer and electric gum. Gomez and Martin have gotten used to sharing the screen together as the two currently star on the Hulu comedy series “Only Murders in the Building” with Martin Short. In a serious tone, Gomez hilariously shared, “It was that night he realized the funniest noise that could come out of a butt was a fart.” “Well, back in the early ‘60s I was just a struggling gag inventor,” Martin said as photoshopped pictures and videos of him working in a lab in 1961 were shown.

The babies, played by Bowen Yang and Sarah Sherman, were going buck wild and, with a baby cameo by Post Malone, this was a nice bit of anarchy. Ego Nwodim and Bowen Yang played guidance counsellors who tried to convince a high school graduating class that modelling was the only viable career option for them after school. A quasi-musical bit, the spirits were played by Punkie Johnson and Post Malone, who rapped sleuthing instructions at them, which was somewhat amusing. In this fairytale, a dragon slayer played by Mikey Day is told he may marry one of the King's daughters. This one was a bit better just because of his run on Baby Groot, but still — hopefully this doesn't recur anymore. Michael Chefollowed up on with a weak baby formula shortage jab. It was somehow both very intense and somewhat tepid. Though it was nice to see Martin, this wasn't a particularly funny concept for him to sink his teeth into. Melissa Villaseñor and Gomez played Vanessa and Sofia, the hosts of a morning talk show. Whenever anyone spoke, they cut them off prematurely, and came across as not-so-bright and that was essentially the whole of this half-written bit. But then, her dolls came to life and were sassily played by Bowen Yang, Gomez, and Aidy Bryant, who then gave her questionable advice and made allusions to wanting to bang her dad. Tenuously constructed, this was an oddly uneven warmup for the episode ahead.
