Cher and Kelly Clarkson pulling double obligation on Saturday Evening Dwell? Rely Bowen Yang (and us) in.
Showing on The Kelly Clarkson Present, the longtime featured participant has seen veteran and new hosts alike take over Studio 8H by way of the years. However there’s one powerhouse singer — or quite, two — who sit atop his want record.
“Effectively, my white whale has at all times been Cher,” the Depraved actor stated.
Clarkson agreed: “She’s hilarious!” (If her interviews by way of the years and up to date Rooster Store Date look are any indication, we concur. Whereas Cher has been some extent 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 Music” — initially the “Imagine” singer’s lead monitor off of her 2023 Christmas album, which was ultimately remixed earlier this month with Clarkson following her numerous covers of it.
“I like that tune a lot,” the “Since U Been Gone” singer stated. “I used to be a lot her avenue group, 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 tune, 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 state of affairs.”
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 from time to time,” which the Fireplace Island actor vehemently rejected: “No, Kelly!”
The Grammy winner demurred, saying that Cher’s Oscar-winning performing standing makes her an appropriate 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 understand? Do not forget 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.
