Miley Cyrus kicked off the 41st season of “Saturday Night Live” this weekend, serving as host and musical guest.
The 22-year-old started the show wearing a mini-dress covered in colorful flowers with a matching hat.
“I love hosting this show because it’s live, so my parents know where I’m at for at least 90 minutes,” the singer joked.
“Tonight I am on a seven-second delay – not a television delay, it’s just when you smoke as much as I do you’re always on a seven-second delay,” she added.
Miley went on to mourn the end of summer 2015.
“I would like to take a moment to say goodbye to all those who made this summer what is was. And while we will never think of these people ever, ever again, they certainly did this summer their way,” she said, before launching into Frank Sinatra’s “My Way.”
As Miley sang, the “SNL” cast appeared via split screen dressed as various headline-makers including Rachel Dolezal, the “Entourage” movie cast, Meek Mill and Drake, the dentist who killed Cecil the lion, Kim Davis and the reluctant pope, and pizza rat.
Ariana Grande’s licked donut, Jared Fogle, Josh Duggar, and Lenny Kravitz’s wardrobe malfunction also made appearances.
This was Miley’s third time hosting the iconic NBC show.
