Selena Gomez Makes a Hilarious Miley Cyrus Impression on SNL

Selena Gomez hosted SNL (Saturday Night Live) on May 14, where she made a hilarious impression on her good friend, Miley Cyrus. The Only Murders in the Building star, 29, brought a wave of laughs in her opening monologue.

The Rare Beauty founder joked about her first acting role in Barney when she was seven and how she’s worked with many famous people, such as Steve Martin and Martin Short.

“This is a big moment for me. I actually started acting when I was 7, and I’ve been lucky enough to work with some Hollywood icons, from Steve Martin and Martin Short and, of course, Barney,” stated Gomez.

“I’m so honored to work with Steve Martin and Martin Short, especially after I googled them to find out who they were,” the singer joked. “I remember telling my friend I was cast in a show called Only Murders, and she’s like, ‘Sounds sexy, any hot co-stars?’ And I was, like, ‘Depends. Do you love the banjo?’

However, the “Lose You To Love Me” singer asked her long-time friend, “Plastic Hearts,”  singer Miley Cyrus for advice on the show. Cyrus has been on the show multiple times.

“I also asked one of my oldest friends, Miley Cyrus, and she said, ‘Just be yourself and have fun,’” stated Gomez, imitating her friend. “I was, like, ‘Miley, is that just an excuse for me to do an impression of you on the show?’ And she was, like, ‘H*ll yeah, I’m Miley Cyrus.’”

The beauty mogul cracked jokes about her love life. “One reason I’m really excited to host SNL is because I’m single. I’ve heard that SNL is a great place to find romance. Emma Stone met her husband here. Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost. Pete (Davidson) and Machine Gun Kelly. Since I don’t really want to try the dating apps, I just want to put it out in the universe that I’m manifesting love. I would like to say that I’m looking for my soulmate, but at this point, I will take anyone.”
