Rousey, best known for her phenomenal MMA and UFC career, has some serious acting credits on her resume, with roles in The Expendables 3, Fast 7, and Entourage.
So was the girl power enough to melt through Winter Storm Jonas raging outside Rockefeller Center? Could Rousey pull off a comeback from her most recent loss? Here are three of the break-out moments from this week’s Saturday Night Live: 1.
Opening Monologue: Rousey came out swinging in her opening monologue, making reference to the blizzard and the shut-down of New York City and Broadway, joking that,”Tonight we’re the only show in town.” Some of the jokes were even at her own expense: “This is the first time I’m live on TV without getting punched in the face.” She got a big assist from the cast throughout the opening bit, which was written as one of her fights, complete with ring announcers and a bell.
They went with a crowd favorite, Kate McKinnonu2019s Bieber, who took it on the chin from Rousey and then a musical number with Selena herself singing u201cCome and Get It.u201d The monologue was really the only time during the night that Rousey handled the jokes herself.
Rousey makes an appearance talking about her date in a “Hot air balloon with the cast of Chicago Fire,” and Cecily Strong is the crazy one who complains that “All of the girls hate me because I’m mean to them!” The sketch ends with a ringer: Selena Gomez as Selena Gomez.
Ronda Rousey and Selena Gomez were first-timers as host and musical guest when they hit the Saturday Night Live stage this week.
