Mikey Madison’s 'SNL' Debut Has Everything From Pole Dancing to Politics

Oscar-winning actress Mikey Madison just made her debut on Saturday Night Live over the weekend, and it’s been the talk of the town ever since. During her monologue, she talked about her busy career, introduced her twin brother—whom she described as “Ron Weasley on testosterone”—and showed off some of her pole-dancing skills from Anora (with the help of a stunt double).

Madison pointed out that she’s been set on fire in two separate films: once in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, where Brad Pitt torched her with a flamethrower, and once in Scream, when she was shot by Courteney Cox and landed on a lit stove.

The reveal of her twin brother was a surprise too—she asked the audience to guess who he was from a lineup of four men, only one of whom had ginger hair: her actual twin.

Madison’s SNL debut featured her playing a teen in a government group chat gone wrong with Ego Nwodim and Sarah Sherman, an OB-GYN bonding with Bowen Yang’s midwife over Hilary Duff, dressing as Squidward in a sketch with Please Don’t Destroy, and hosting a dating game show where she pushed guys to define the relationship.

Morgan Wallen was the episode’s musical guest, and the show ended oddly when he abruptly left the stage during the goodnights, leaving some viewers confused about his sudden exit.
