Lady Gaga Hosts and Performs on Saturday Night Live, Has No Problem Poking Fun at Herself

One thing we learned from Lady Gaga's appearance on Saturday Night Live is that she isn't afraid to poke a little fun at herself. Or a lot of fun at herself.

The 27-year-old singer pulled double duty as host and performer during a highly entertaining episode of the sketch comedy program on Nov. 16
The proud New York native's opening monologue featured a parody of her hit song "Applause," which segued into "New York, New York." Clad in a silver sparkly 1930's-esque ensemble, Mother Monster performed an upbeat jazz number, asking the audience for their adoration and to just simply clap their hands at everything and anything.

"Give it up for New York!" she exclaimed. And of course, the audience indulged her with some applause.
