The camera then cut to Gizmo, who explained that in the early 60s he was a ‘struggling gag inventor.’
‘All I had was an early prototype of the cushion. I knew it would be funny to have your boss sit down, and a noise come from his butt, but I just couldn’t figure out what noise. I couldn’t crack it,’ he explained.
It was then that Gizmo met his wife, Ms. Dina Beans, played by Aidy Bryant, 35.
Struggled: Gizmo explained that in the early 60s he was a ‘struggling gag inventor’ before he met his wife, Ms. Dina Beans, played by Aidy Bryant, 35
‘I saw her from afar. Her energy was magnetic. Her eyes were endless. And every time she sat down – Gas,’ he stated, adding, ‘It was that night he realized, the funniest noise to come out of a butt was a fart.’
Gizmo then goes on to share that Dina inspired many more of his devices, including the hand buzzer, google-eyed slinky glasses, and electric gum, with her notorious bad luck.
‘I fell in love with Dina, and she was behind every good idea I ever had. Because you see, she wasn’t just a chronic gas-passer. She was also the viciously most unlucky woman I had ever met,’ he stated.

Funny: ‘She was behind every good idea I ever had. Because you see, she wasn’t just a chronic gas-passer. She was also the viciously most unlucky woman I had ever met,’ he stated
The show then cut to a montage of all the unlucky things that happened to Dina, including being attacked by poisonous snakes hidden in a peanut jar, being struck by lightning repeatedly, and having her eyeballs pop out of their sockets.
‘How this woman did not die between two lightning strikes and a snake attack is between her and God. But Archie’s hit pranks just kept coming,’ Selena explained.
‘Archie became the most famous gag inventor in the world. And it was all thanks to Dina Beans,’ she added.
And though Gizmo became rich, he sweetly stated that ‘Dina was the prize, and the greatest gag she ever goofed was marrying a guy like me.’

Selena opened up the show with a sharp monologue, as she recalled telling a friend about her starring role in Only Murders in the Building.
‘I remember telling my friends that I was cast in a show Only Murders and she said sounds sexy. Any hot co-stars? And I was like … depends. Do you love the banjo?’
However, she then gave props to both Steve and Martin, calling them SNL legends and said she immediately sought their advice after being asked to host.
‘Steve said trust no one. And Marty said I think Steve Martin has been using my credit,’ she joked about their replies.
Poking fun: Selena also poked fun of Martin and her other co-star Martin Short, 72, in her opening monologue

‘I was like, Miley, is that just an excuse for me to do an impression of you on the show? And she’s like, “Hell, yeah, I’m Miley Cyrus.”‘
The beauty, who’s previously dated singer Justin Bieber, also touched on being single and hoping to find love on the comedy show.

And Pete and Machine Gun Kelly,’ she said, poking fun of Kim Kardashian who met Davidson while hosting the show.
‘And 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 and I would like to say that I’m looking for my soulmate. But at this point I will take anyone.’
However when various SNL crew members came forward, she declined all of them saying she would wait until ‘the afterparty.’

‘Also, everyone in the show has Covid. So these are all understudies. They’ve had 30 minutes of rehearsal backstage.
‘We could have canceled tonight, but I’m in a fight with my husband, so I need to be out of the apartment. Our fight may or may not be about the penis in this show. The penis is also being understudied so I’m excited to see what that’s like,’ he quipped.
Selena then played one of the understudies who couldn’t remember her lines and kept on doing the wrong accents.
‘Is it the penis now?’ Her co-star played by Cecily Strong, 38, asked, as Kenan replied, ‘No. It’s in act two. It needs an hour to prep.’

Malone then returned in a skit which saw Selena as a jealous girlfriend, who suspected that her boyfriend was cheating on her.
After her other half left to get paper towels at a suspicious time in the night, Selena was suddenly visited by her ‘intuition’ (played by Ego Nwodim, 34) who appeared in the form of a little figure on her shoulder.
‘He’s not getting paper towels girl, he’s cheating,’ she told Selena, who dismissed the idea at first, saying, ‘No, he’s not.’
Jealous: Malone then returned in a skit which saw Selena as a jealous girlfriend, who suspected that her boyfriend was cheating on her
However her intuition kept pushing, and finally broke out in a song, rapping: ‘He by that b**** house.’
‘What?’ a confused Selena asked.
‘By that b**** house. That mean your man is creeping he by that b**** house.’
When Selena asked what she should do, she was instructed to ‘hack into his Instagram’ and ‘check his location’ then ‘break his Xbox.’
Cheating: After her man left at a suspicious time in the night, Selena was visited by her ‘intuition’ (played by Ego Nwodim, 34) who told her he was probably cheating
Selena followed the directions, chucking the game player out of her window just as her boyfriend had returned.
After a short conversation, he explained that he wasn’t cheating and went out again to bring his Xbox back upstairs.
That’s when Selena’s intuition kicked in yet again, forcing her to ‘break his TV’ which she did.
‘Come on, this cannot happen every time I leave the damn house,’ he protested upon seeing his TV get thrown out.
‘I’m sorry, it’s just I’ve dated so many basketball players and celebrities,’ Selena explained.
Back at it: Her boyfriend was then visited by his own intuition, played by Post, who also advised him that his girlfriend was probably cheating
‘I’m sorry, what now?’ he asked, as the roles reversed and he became slightly jealous. After Selena decided to go ‘cool down’ in the bedroom, her boyfriend was then visited by his own intuition, played by Post.
‘I think she think you cheating and if she do that means that she the one who out there creeping. She probably getting dude nudes and all their thingies are bigger than yours,’ he rapped.
He then advised the boyfriend to ‘break in her phone check the whole history.’
Size issues: ‘She probably getting dude nudes and all their thingies are bigger than yours,’ he rapped
‘What are you talking about, who would even be texting her?’ the boyfriend asked.
‘I don’t know. Lebron James?’ Post replied.
He then confronted Selena, who said she was texting her mother, and after another argument, the couple decided to end the night by having ‘angry sex.’
Selena didn’t miss a beat as she kept the audience laughing before getting into her next sketch with Post, where she played a babysitter who was trying to party with her friends while watching her baby brother and sister.
Babysitter: Selena kept the audience laughing into her next sketch where she played a babysitter who was trying to party with friends while watching her baby brother and sister
Her friends questioned how they were going to be able to party while watching the babies, but Selena assuaged their fears.
‘No, we can still totally party all night long. On that note, who wants to drink my dad’s beer?’
‘Me!,’ one of them replied as the twins broke into a cry suddenly.
‘Uh-oh, I think one of the babies are up.’
Scary: However the babies did not go to sleep, and instead began throwing each other around the crib as Selena’s friends watched them on the baby monitor
‘Don’t worry. They’ll go back to sleep.’
However the babies did not go back to sleep, and instead began throwing each other around the crib as the friends watched them on the baby monitor.
When her friends questioned whether she should go and ‘comfort’ the babies, Selena replied, ‘No, you’re supposed to let them self-soothe.’
But instead of falling asleep the twins began doing laps around the crib, as Selena admitted she gave them M&M’s and they were loaded with sugar.
More interesting: Her friends then decided that they wanted to stay in and watch the babies instead of going out to party
The twins then started fighting and throwing each other around the crib, while Selena tried to calm them by giving them a piece of bread.

‘Who is that?’ one of her friends asked.
‘I don’t know. Sometimes he’s there and sometimes he’s not,’ she replied, unconcerned.
At the end of the bit the friends realized that the babies were actually watching them on the monitor.

‘But what’s the deal with your dad? He’s interesting to us.’
‘I don’t love how you asked that. I guess he’s a research analyst,’ the teenager replied.
But instead of helping make the teen feel better, they teased that they would escape to Miami with her father.
‘We’re going to Miami with your dad,’ the dolls exclaimed.
Inept: In another hilarious sketch Selena was a woman participating in a TV show that depicted inept adult men running errands for their girlfriends
In another hilarious sketch Selena was a woman participating in a TV show that depicted inept adult men running errands for their girlfriends.
‘Netflix viewers love ‘Old Enough,’ the hit Japanese show that follows toddlers as they go on an errand all by themselves. And now, we’re remaking it here but since Americans don’t send toddlers out into the world alone, we had to find an equally helpless group, and we did. Here’s a sneak peek of “Old enough: Long-term boyfriends.”
Selena was introduced as Kelsey, a woman who lived with her boyfriend Matt (played by Mikey Day, 42). ‘They have been dating for three years, and now he’s 34, Kelsey thinks Matt is ready to run an errand all by himself.’

Kelsey then asked her nervous boyfriend to walk four blocks to Sephora, and buy her an eyeliner, then walked to the grocery store and pick up two shallots.
However, once he made it to Sephora, he became overwhelmed and started to cry. Later at the grocery store, he picks up two five-pound bags of onions instead of the shallots.
Selena then sarcastically praised him on front of the camera before deciding they needed to break up.

‘I am really proud of him. Last night, I asked him to get an eyeliner pencil and two shallots and he brought home ten pounds of onions and a blush palette for African American women. So we should just break up.’
‘It’s not this. It’s everything. We’re basically roommates. Watch. Baby, do you want to have sex right now?’ she asked.
‘It’s like, light outside,’ he replied.
‘Oh. Silly me,’ Selena quipped as the show ended.

Gomez kept the laughs coming with another sketch where she played Sofia, who was part of a Hispanic duo with a talkshow called ‘A Peek at Pico’ with her co-host Vanessa played by Melissa Villaseñor, 34.
However, they did not do proper research for their show and continued cutting off all their guests and interviews in the middle.
‘Okay. We’re gonna bring out a guest. She hangs out at the library with the books. Bienvenidos, Becca!’

‘Hi, thanks for having me. And, um, I want to clarify that I’m a librarian. I don’t just hang out with books.’
‘Oh, that’s good,’ Vanessa said, before Sofia added, ‘Yeah, ’cause when I heard that I was like, that’s sad.’
In another bit Selena played Regalia, one of three sisters (Lucillia, played by Nwodim, and Blondelia, played by Kate McKinnon, 38) who were being presented to Prince Edmund, a knight – played by Day – as he considered which one should become his wife.

Day continued to test the ladies with different questions, to discover whether any of them had strange traits, as he insisted that the third one (McKinnon) must have something wrong with her.
‘I guess I just thought there would be something messed up about her because there’s three of them and the third one is her. It’s just usually like one’s pretty, one’s smart, and one has something like really wrong with them,’ he explained to their father, played by Kenan.
After many tests, the Prince finally decided on Blondelia: ‘I’m sorry I was judgmental. The truth is, I’m drawn to Blondelia, though I fear there’s a catch.’
