Selena Gomez made her 'Saturday Night Live' hosting debut this weekend:
Gomez's character Kelsey asks her boyfriend Matt, played by Mikey Day, to do two things"all by himself. Needless to say, Matt has some trouble following the directions and breaks down in tears as he tries to recall the right thing to get at Sephora.
He does eventually make it home in one piece, but with nothing he was supposed to have brought, drawing the expected exasperation from Kelsey. "I'm so proud of him — but that said, I asked him to get an eyeliner pencil and two shallots, and he brought home 10 pounds of onions and a blush palette for African American women," she sighs. The cold open on"SNL" featured Depp, played by Mooney, on the stand in his defamation trial against Heard. Depp is suing his ex-wife in Virginia, accusing her of libel for a December 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post in which she described herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.” While the article doesn’t mention Depp by name, his attorneys argue the article defames him for the highly publicized allegations Heard made when she filed for divorce in 2016. Depp says he never physically abused Heard, while Heard — who is countersuing Depp — says she was assaulted on more than a dozen occasions. The two actors have traded accusations from the stand in recent weeks, including Depp alleging that Heard once left feces in his bed. In the"SNL" sketch, Depp's lawyer plays surveillance footage imagining the discovery of the feces by hotel staff, who one after another arrive and grimace. Judge Penny Azcarte, played by Cecily Strong, eggs on the playing of the video and line of questioning, all but pulling out a bag of popcorn as it progresses. At one point, Heard's lawyer, played by Heidi Gardner, tries to object and asks how much of the video really needs to be played.Gomez, a co-star with Martin on"Only Murders in the Building," opened the sketch with the comedian as the host of the fictional show"American Inventors," who was profiling Martin's Archie Gizmo, the"inventor" of the practical joke device. Gizmo, billed as a"prank inventor" and the"longest patent holder in history," recounts that he had an early prototype made of the cushion, but couldn't decide which sound it should make when someone sat down on it. To his relief, the answer was found when he met Dina Beans, played by Aidy Bryant, who made the perfect gas sound every time she sat. Martin's character goes on to recall how he falls in love and marries her, all while continuing to take inspiration for other physical gags stemming from her misfortune, from the electric hand buzzer to the can of nuts with snakes inside.
