Charli XCX Hosts and Performs on SNL's 50th Season

The British pop star takes on dual roles in a lively but mixed-reviewed episode of Saturday Night Live.

Charli XCX made her debut as a host on Saturday Night Live, also performing as the musical guest for the third time.
Her performances included songs from her album 'BRAT,' with sketches featuring her as Victoria Beckham and a podcast producer.
The episode's cold open featured Dana Carvey as President Biden and James Austin Johnson as President-elect Trump, focusing on their transition meeting.
Critics noted Charli XCX's ease in hosting, though the episode was described as middle-of-the-road despite appearances by SNL veterans.
Upcoming SNL episodes will feature Jean Smart with musical guest Jelly Roll, and Paul Mescal with Shaboozey, following a brief hiatus.
