Lady Gaga Pokes Fun at Performing With R. Kelly on Her Last ‘SNL’, ‘Joker 2’ Razzie Awards: ‘Joke’s on Them, I Love Winning Things’


In her 'SNL' monologue, Lady Gaga poked fun about winning a Razzie for "Joker 2" and R. Kelly being musical guest on

Lady Gaga spun some comedy out of some of her less glamorous career developments in her return to “ Saturday Night Live,” cracking jokes about incarcerated singer and producer R. Kelly’s appearance during her prior hosting gig and scoring some laughs for the notoriously bad reception for “Joker: Folie à Deux.” I won’t bring it up!” The pair had performed together on the episode, years before R. Kelly was charged and convicted for racketeering and sex trafficking. Gaga immediately segued into talking about her more recent, renewed focus on screenacting, which has included praised performances in “A Star Is Born” and “House of Gucci.” But that came with an acknowledgement of her most film performance: playing Lee Quinzel, a spin on the “Batman” villain Harley Quinn, in last fall’s commercial bomb and critically lambasted Joaquin Phoenix sequel “Joker: Folie à Deux.”
