Dakota Johnson graced the Saturday Night Live stage with her trademark humor, opening up about her struggles with interviews and providing amusing glimpses into her life. Accompanied by musical guest Justin Timberlake and an unexpected appearance by Jimmy Fallon, her appearance turned SNL monologue into a hilarious comedy extravaganza!
Fifty Shades of Grey actor Dakota Fanning began by admitting, “I just can’t take interviews seriously,” attributing it to her tendency to make jokes that journalists take too seriously. She quipped, “It’s unfair because most of the time, I’m just kidding around!” charming the audience with her candor and being herself.
To illustrate her point, Dakota went back in time, treating viewers to an eye-rolling-filled red carpet moment with actor father Don Johnson back in the ’90s red carpet moment with young Dakota in tow – even back then she managed to steal the show with her signature eye roll performance! Fast forward 20 years to the SNL stage where Dakota still brings that eye roll charm evoking laughter effortlessly.
Johnson recently described Madame Web as being like the result of an AI algorithm generating your boyfriend’s perfect movie, which we cannot wait for the release. We look forward to witnessing it come to life on screen!
As an amusing nod to her 2015 SNL stint, Dakota Johnson provided a hilarious throwback photo from 2015 featuring herself alongside luminaries such as Steven Spielberg, Sarah Palin, George Lucas, and Donald Trump – among them, Taylor Swift seated right next to them in the photo! Johnson couldn’t resist poking fun at this surreal moment by exclaiming “It’s crazy standing so close to someone that would become the most powerful person in America!” In classic Dakota style!
But the laughs didn’t end there: Enter Justin Timberlake, the night’s musical maestro. Dakota took to calling him out during her monologue and instantly took the stage when Timberlake assumed he was hosting, much to Dakota’s disbelief and confusion. Timberlake raised his hand to boast about five SNL hosting gigs while Dakota responded: “Yeah well that was 10 years ago… either way I’m so glad you chose my show as your comeback venue!”
Timberlake and Dakota made for some great comedic banter as Timberlake queried what constitutes a “comeback,” while Dakota provided clarity: I mean comeback positively.” Their exchange was pure gold!
Dakota Johnson’s SNL monologue wasn’t just an introduction; it was an irresistibly humorous one! From eye rolls and artificial intelligence-generated boyfriends, to banter with musical royalty and some unexpected musical references thrown in there too, she left us all eagerly anticipating more laughter, surprises, and, of course, Dakota’s irresistible humor!
