Lady Gaga’s Humorous Take on Her ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ Experience
During her recent appearance on Saturday Night Live, Lady Gaga opened with a light-hearted commentary about her role in the film Joker: Folie à Deux. In her monologue, she confidently stated, “Anyway, I’m an actor now,” humorously reinforcing her commitment to serious acting.
Gaga continued, sharing insights about her film’s reception, saying, “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 is an award for the worst films of the year. So we won worst onscreen duo.” This playful banter exemplified her ability to engage the audience while reflecting on her professional journey.
She added a twist to her Razzie experience by declaring, “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.” This clever wordplay not only entertained the audience but also highlighted her unique outlook on the challenges of the entertainment industry.
This satirical commentary comes after Joker: Folie à Deux, the sequel to the critically acclaimed 2019 film Joker, faced a difficult release period. The film garnered seven Razzie nominations due to its underwhelming box office performance, culminating in awards for both Worst Screen Combo (awarded to Gaga and Phoenix) and Worst Sequel.
In a final jest, Gaga promised, “Tonight, I promise to act, to sing and to not do Joker 3,” effectively closing her monologue on a high note while teasing the audience with the potential of her future projects.
As the host and musical guest for this week’s Saturday Night Live episode, Gaga’s charm and talent were on full display, ensuring a memorable night for fans.
