Mikey Madison's SNL Hosting Debut Garners Mixed Reviews

Fresh off her Oscar win, Madison charmed in her monologue but played limited lead roles in uneven sketches, while Morgan Wallen returned as musical guest.

Mikey Madison hosted Saturday Night Live on March 29, 2025, following her Best Actress Oscar win for the critically acclaimed film 'Anora.'
The episode opened with a parody of the Signal chat leak scandal, featuring Madison as one of the high school girls in a group chat infiltrated by U.S. officials.
Madison's monologue highlighted her career, humorously addressing skepticism about her stunts in 'Anora' and reflecting on her childhood as a 'horse girl.'
Critics noted the episode's uneven material and Madison's limited opportunities to lead sketches, though her comedic potential and charm were praised.
Musical guest Morgan Wallen performed two songs, marking his return to SNL after a controversial absence in 2020.
