Dua Lipa Monologue - SNL

Ladies and gentlemen, Dua Lipa! [ Cheers and applause ]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you very much. My name is Dua Lipa. Or as some people call me, Dula Peep. But Dua Lipa is my real name. Dua is Albanian for love, and Lipa is Albanian for -- my last name. It's great to be back in 30 Rock. I actually made my U.S. TV debut eight years ago downstairs on The Tonight Show. So this building does feel a lot like home.

And especially tonight, because my parents are here in the audience. As you can see, they're kind of cool. They love to party. One night, I was out with my friends and we ended up at the club at 3:00 in the morning and who do I bump into but my parents, which was embarrassing because the last thing you want to see when you're super high and drunk off your ass is your daughter. But really, they've always been so supportive. They let me move to London when I was just 15 to start my career, and now my third album just dropped, and it's called "Radical Optimism."

A lot of people ask me what that means. To me, it's like looking on the bright side of any situation. Here, I'll show you. Someone tell me a problem you're having. Yes, you, sir.

Hi. My wife left me because during sex, I accidentally called her mom.

Well, on the bright side, now you'll have more time to spend with your mom. See? Radical optimism. Okay. Someone else. You.

Yes, hello, Dua. Yesterday I went to the doctor, and she said -- yes, my doctor is a woman -- anyway, that bitch said I had to stop drinking.

Well, on the bright side, there's always poppers. See. You can put a positive spin on anything. Yes, you.

Hi. I'm South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem.

No, no, sorry. I can't help. Look, we all have problems, even me. Like there's people online who say, Dua Lipa is always on vacation. Which is totally wrong because I'm British, so we call it a holiday. And there's people who called my dancing lazy and said, go, girl, give us nothing. But I didn't give you nothing, I gave you the greatest meme of all time.

And now, I'm here, I'm hosting, I'm performing, I'm making the wigs, dealing Adderall to the writers. I'm doing it all. So tonight, I promise I'm going to give you everything. We've got a great show for you tonight. I'm here, stick around we'll be right back.
