Phoebe Bridgers performs two songs on SNL as John Mulaney hosts
Bridgers used blacklighting for a skeletal reveal during “Still Standing.” Amanda Seyfried and Don Toliver were announced for the December 5 show.
Phoebe Bridgers returned to SNL as musical guest for an episode hosted by John Mulaney, performing “Bobby” and “Still Standing.” It was her third performance appearance on the program, counting a previous visit with boygenius, while Mulaney hosted for the seventh time.
A scream opened Bridgers’ rendition of “Bobby,” with smoke spreading across the stage floor. Her touring band accompanied her for the song, with Jay Som’s Melina Duterte among the musicians. For “Still Standing,” Bridgers wore white lace; blacklighting in the song’s final third exposed skeletal makeup on her face and set her dress aglow.
Mulaney’s monologue addressed tensions between baby boomers and Gen Z and included an impression of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. A New York-themed musical sketch focused on legislation banning horse-drawn carriages from Central Park. Former cast member Bowen Yang appeared as Mary Todd Lincoln.
SNL also named Amanda Seyfried as host and Don Toliver as musical guest for its next live broadcast on December 5. Both will be making their debuts in those roles.
