Dua Lipa can’t dance her way out of a middling ‘Saturday Night Live’

Saturday Night Live
Dua Lipa
May 4, 2023

First things first for my fellow Gen-Xers: what is a Dua Lipa? Glad you asked. Dua Lipa is a gorgeous English/Albanian Grammy-award-winning pop star. I don’t know any of her music, but it’s disco-y and danceable — though, apparently, she’s not exactly known for her dancing. She’s also not exactly known for her comedy stylings, and SNL asking her to be both the host and the musical guest seems like a heavy lift.

That said, I’ve seen a lot of grumbling about this episode, calling it the “worst of the season,” … but, y’all, I remember the Pete Davidson, Bad Bunny, and Shane Gillis episodes, so you’re not going to pull that one over on me. I think this is an example of diminishment by comparison: the previous episode hosted by Ryan Gosling was so beloved and well-received that whoever was tasked with being his follow-up was never going to live up to expectations. Don’t get me wrong, this is not a great episode — but it’s also not as terrible as some are making it out to be.
