SNL this week.
The cold open
Miley Cyrus appeared extremely early to sing Dolly Parton s Light of a Clear Blue Morning for Mother s Day, which led to cast members engaging in micro-skits with their real-life moms. Endearing enough, this went about as well as a large gathering of non-performers reading jokes could go, though the format made it a bit long.
The monologue
Elon Musk appeared and said that he s the first person with Asperger s to ever host
SNL, and then espoused his scientific philosophies. He addressed his embattled reputation while boasting about his electric car and space travel accomplishments and made some questionable O.J. Simpson jokes. Musk brought his own mother on-stage to reflect upon his exploits as a precocious child, and then they hugged to end this mostly benign PR stunt.
Billboard‘s Pop Digital Song Sales chart, giving the Nine Inch Nails classic some newfound love.
Now, it looks like Cyrus may be planning to release a new cover of Nine Inch Nails’ “Head Like A Hole.” On Tuesday, she shared a brief clip of her belting out the song’s lyrics. She also paid subtle tribute to Ashley O with the hashtag #AshleyOGoneWild.

This video has led to speculation that Cyrus may be reprising her Ashley O role for a new
Black Mirror season. However, nothing has been confirmed so far.
