Cher and Kelly Clarkson pulling double obligation on Saturday Night Live? Depend Bowen Yang (and us) in.
Showing on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the longtime featured participant has seen veteran and new hosts alike take over Studio 8H via the years. However there may be one powerhouse singer — or quite, two — who sit atop his want listing.
“Effectively, my white whale has all the time been Cher,” the Depraved actor stated.
Clarkson agreed: “She’s hilarious!” (If her interviews through the years and up to date Chicken Shop Date appearance are any indication, we concur. Whereas Cher has been a degree of reference, parody and impersonation all through her storied and awarded singing and performing careers, she has by no means hosted the NBC sketch comedy present. In 1987, she was a musical visitor alongside host Candice Bergen and made a cameo look on a 1992 episode with host Nicolas Cage and musical visitor Bobby Brown.)
Yang continued, “She’s so humorous! And because you two have a single popping out, I really feel such as you and Cher approaching collectively would blow my thoughts,” referencing the duo’s “DJ Play a Christmas Tune” — initially the “Imagine” singer’s lead observe off of her 2023 Christmas album, which was finally remixed earlier this month with Clarkson following her numerous covers of it.
“I like that track a lot,” the “Since U Been Gone” singer stated. “I used to be a lot her road staff, I believe she felt obligated to ask me. I used to be singing it all over the place! I’m such a giant fan of that track, however we launched the dance remix model, however she let me sing on it and it was a dream come true. So I perceive your Cher situation.”
When Yang stated his dream would solely be full if Clarkson joined Cher, she responded, “If Cher comes on, I simply need to be the one that randomly walks within the again each occasionally,” which the Hearth Island actor vehemently rejected: “No, Kelly!”
The Grammy winner demurred, saying that Cher’s Oscar-winning performing standing makes her an acceptable candidate and was in shock that she hasn’t served as host earlier than.
“She’s by no means executed it. Look, she will do each half in West Facet Story, you realize? Keep in mind that?” Yang answered, referencing an often-forgotten piece of Cher lore, by which the multi-hyphenate sings and dances to a 12-minute-long medley of the musical’s tracks, portraying each female and male characters, as a part of her 1978 self-titled ABC particular.
