Lady Gaga's major awards-season run continues Sunday (Feb. 10) with the Grammys, and Saturday Night Live's Melissa Villaseñor took advantage of the opportunity to debut her impression of the pop star on last night's "Weekend Update" segment. Villaseñor came out dressed as Gaga to deliver her Grammy picks, claiming she was trying to appeal to her "Melissa Monsters," before belting out some of A Star Is Born hit "Shallow." Kyle Mooney also made a brief appearance as Bradley Cooper's Jackson Maine for the duet.<doc-sep>After the success of her Lady Gaga impression on Saturday Night Live the previous week, Melissa Villaseñor brought back the role for a Family Feud sketch. For the sketch, Kenan Thompson as Steve Harvey hosted an Academy Awards-themed Family Feud featuring guests including Villaseñor’s Gaga, Spike Lee (Don Cheadle), Glenn Close (Kate McKinnon), Sam Elliott (Beck Bennett), Rami Malek (Pete Davidson), Mahershala Ali (Chris Redd) and Olivia Colman (Cecily Strong). “It’s such an honor to be on the Feud,” Gaga said to Harvey. “If 99 people are surveyed, you just need one person to believe in you to win the game.” “Well, I don’t think that’s how it works,” Harvey replied. “It works if you dream it,” Gaga said before going into the high note from “Shallow.” Bradley Cooper (Kyle Mooney) then appeared in the sketch saying, “I saw this woman at the Super Bowl Halftime show and I had this wild idea, I thought, maybe she could play a singer,” he recalled. Villaseñor, who has been on SNL for two-and-a-half years, took on the role of Gaga in the February 9th episode of SNL where she appeared as herself-playing-Gaga on “Weekend Update” and sang a spot-on rendition of the singer’s hit song “Shallow” from A Star is Born. In-between Oscar picks, Villaseñor broke out into song and was even joined by a bearded Cooper for the chorus.<doc-sep>She can't seem to live this one down. If you’ve been paying too much attention to awards season, you already know about Lady Gaga’s “100 people in a room” speech. A staple of her appearances over the last several months, it’s meant as an expression of gratitude to her “A Star Is Born” director/co-star: There can be 100 people in the room and 99 don’t believe in you. You just need one to believe in you, and that was Bradley Cooper.” Gaga’s habit of repeating the line was mocked by Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg during their Golden Globes monologue, and made its way onto “Saturday Night Live” last night. As part of a “Family Feud” skit pitting this year’s Academy Awards nominees against each other, Gaga (Melissa Villaseñor) finds herself repeating her familiar bit. “It is such an honor to be on the ‘Feud,'” she says after being introduced. “If 99 people are surveyed, you just need one person to believe in you to win the game.” After being told that’s not how it works, Gaga replies, “It works if you dream it” before launching into the oh oh oh vocalization immortalized in the trailer for “A Star Is Born.” Gaga is then joined by Cooper (Kyle Mooney), who explains how they came to be collaborators: “I saw this woman at the Super Bowl halftime show and I had this wild idea. I thought, maybe she could play a singer.” Their team is rounded out by an expressionless Rami Malek (Pete Davidson) and stately Mahershala Ali (Chris Redd), who’s asked about the “last scene” in “Green Book” — the oft-discussed moment in which his and Viggo Mortensen’s characters eat fried chicken together. “That wasn’t the last scene, Steve,” Ali says. “It was for me,” Harvey replies.

With Kenan Thompson playing host Steve Harvey, the Oscars-themed Family Feud sketch featured film "newbies" Gaga, Rami Malek (Pete Davidson) and Mahershala Ali (Chris Redd) competing against "veterans" Spike Lee (Don Cheadle), Glenn Close (Kate McKinnon), Sam Elliott (Beck Bennett) and Olivia Colman (Cecily Strong). “It’s such an honor to be on the Feud,” Gaga told Harvey, a reference to something the singer/actress has said multiple times during interviews for A Star Is Born. “If 99 people are surveyed, you just need one person to believe in you to win the game.”<doc-sep>
On last week’s Saturday Night Live, Melissa Villaseñor debuted her winning Lady Gaga impression much to the delight of the entire internet. Clearly, the brain trust at SNL realized that they’d hit on something special, because this week, they decided to build an entire sketch around fake Gaga. She was joined by a gaggle of fellow Oscar contenders for a game show parody called Celebrity Family Feud: Oscars Nominees. Gaga was on team “Oscar newbies,” alongside Pete Davidson as Rami Malek, Chris Redd as Mahershala Ali, and Kyle Mooney as Bradley Cooper. Cooper of course, has more than a few Oscar noms under his belt, but these two have been joined at the hip this awards season, so why not here? Together, they faced off against showbiz vets like Spike Lee, who was played by host Don Cheadle, Sam Elliott (Beck Bennett) Glenn Close (Kate McKinnon), and Olivia Colman, whose boozy British charm was captured perfectly by Cecily Strong. Despite the impressive roster, this was the Villaseñor show. “If 99 people are surveyed, you just need one person to believe in you to win the game,” she said, spoofing what has become Gaga’s awards season mantra. She even gave us a bit of that “Shallow” wail, which we first saw on last week’s Weekend Update. Cooper also chimed in, telling Keenan Thompson’s Steve Harvey that he “saw this woman at the Super Bowl half time show” and had “this wild thought.” “I thought ‘maybe she could play a singer,’” he said. Well. duh. The real life Cooper and Gaga are set to take the stage next Sunday, when they perform “Shallow” during the Oscars telecast. While Cooper has joined Gaga for a performance of the hit song once before, next week’s performance will mark the first time they take the stage together in an official capacity. But if you can’t wait that long, watch fake Cooper and Lady Gaga do their thing below. Related: Bradley Cooper Says He Was “Embarrassed” at Not Receiving a Best Director Nomination
