Charli XCX helps 'SNL' go brat, pulling double duty as host and performer

The British pop star helped 'Saturday Night Live' flex its pop culture muscles after last week's post-election episode.

After a strange, dark turn last week, when Bill Burr hosted the post-presidential election episode of 'Saturday Night Live,' the show bounced back by flexing its pop culture muscles. By touching on politics only in the Trump meets Biden cold open and in a sketch about podcaster bros who get assigned cabinet and ambassador positions by the president-elect, 'SNL' instead went brat.

Charli's monologue referenced how she got started playing raves when she was 15 by telling her parents she had swim practice, 'at 2 a.m. ... In a warehouse full of gays.' She joked about thanking someone who's been there for her throughout her career: autotune.
