Lady Gaga kicked off her Saturday Night Live episode with some jokes about her movie Joker: Folie à Deux.
“Anyway, I’m an actor now,” she says during her opening monologue, before quipping, “I select films that would showcase my craft as a serious actor, films such as Joker 2. Apparently, people thought it was awesome. Joaquin [Phoenix] and I even got nominated for a Razzie, which as an award for the worst films of the year. So we won worst onscreen duo.”
She continues, “But jokes on them. I love winning things. My Razzie brings me one step closer to an EGORT. It’s like an EGOT, but it’s hurtful.”
Joker: Folie à Deux, the sequel to 2019’s Joker, was nominated for seven Razzies after bombing at the box office last year. The movie ultimately won the Razzies for worst screen combo of Phoenix and Lady Gaga and worst sequel.
Gaga later adds in her SNL monologue, “Tonight, I promise to act, to sing and to not do Joker 3.”
The Grammy winner is the host and musical guest on this week’s episode of SNL.
More to come.
