Watch Selena Gomez impersonate Miley Cyrus on ‘Saturday Night Live’
Selena Gomez took a stab at impersonating her friend and fellow pop star Miley Cyrus during her turn as host on Saturday Night Live this weekend.The singer and actor made her SNL debut last night (May 14), alongside Post Malone who appeared as the episode’s musical guest.During her opening monologue, Gomez explained that she grew up watching the late night sketch show every week with her mother and how “this is a big moment for me”.She then went on to talk about how she started acting when she was seven and that she’s been “lucky enough to work with some Hollywood icons”, including her Only Murders In The Building co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, “and, of course, Barney”, she joked.Referring to an early appearance she made on children’s show Barney & Friends back in the early 2000s, producers cut to a shot of her on the show. “That was the first show I was on,” she told the audience.Elsewhere during her opening, she said she asked one of her “oldest friends”, Miley Cyrus, for hosting advice as the ‘Plastic Hearts’ singer has hosted the show on several occasions.
