Billie Eilish performs her Bond theme song ‘No Time To Die’ at the 94th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood on March 27, 2022. The 007 song by Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell has won a Golden Globe, a Grammy and now an Oscar for best original song.
Billie Eilish lives out her acting dreams as host and musical guest of ‘SNL’
Singer-songwriter Billie Eilish was happier than ever to serve as host and musical guest of “Saturday Night Live” this weekend.
While delivering her opening monologue on the festive Studio 8H set, the anti-pop phenom sported a ruffly, red-and-white dress and joked that she “decided to dress like Mrs. Claus going to the club” — before revealing the “good reason” she’s famously worn baggy clothes for much of her career.
“It wasn’t just for comfort or for style,” the teen musician said. “This is hard to say. ... But the real reason I wore big, oversized clothes back then is, I was actually two kids stacked on top of each other trying to sneak into an R-rated movie.”
After making her “SNL” debut as musical guest in 2019, the Grammy winner said she never thought she’d return to host the sketch comedy program. But she did admit that, as a child of actors, she dreamed of acting.
“It was my dream to be in a movie, and I remember when that dream died,” she quipped.
“I was 9, and my mom wrote a film inspired by her life. This is true: She cast my brother, Finneas, as her son, she played the mom, and in the movie, she had no daughter. Yeah, I got the hint.”
At one point, Eilish’s mother even joined the “Bad Guy” hitmaker onstage, wearing a “Finneas’ mom” T-shirt. Musician Finneas later accompanied his sister for live performances of Eilish tracks “Happier Than Ever” and “Male Fantasy,” which he helped to write and produce.
Here’s a sampling of other highlights from the latest installment of “SNL.” (Warning: Some of the following clips contain profanity.)
During the cold open of Saturday’s episode, fan-favorite McKinnon returned to the show as President Biden’s senior medical advisor, Anthony Fauci, for a public service announcement about the Omicron variant of COVID-19.

“People see me on TV — they think, ‘Oh, this can’t be good,’ and the children think, ‘Wow, that Elf on the Shelf got old,” McKinnon’s Fauci said.
“As you probably heard, there is an Omicron wave sweeping the globe. Some experts feared the Omicron variant would be vaccine-resistant, kinda like — I don’t know — 40% of Americans. More recent data suggests that if you had a vaccine and a booster, you should be pretty well protected. So if that’s you, I’d like to officially say unclench.”
The cold open also featured commentary from politicians and various members of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, played by Cecily Strong, Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney, Pete Davidson, Mikey Day, Melissa Villaseñor, Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim, Bowen Yang and more.

Her commercially successful debut extended play Don't Smile at Me (2017) charted in the top 15 in numerous countries, including the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.
Eilish's first studio album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019), debuted atop the US Billboard 200 and UK Albums Chart.

The following year, she co-wrote and performed the theme song "No Time to Die" for the James Bond film of the same name, which topped the UK Singles Chart and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2022.
Her subsequent singles "Everything I Wanted", "My Future", "Therefore I Am", and "Your Power" each peaked in the top 10 in the US and UK; her second studio album, Happier Than Ever (2021), reached number one in 25 countries.
