Lizzo pokes fun at Chris Evans pregnancy rumors in 'SNL' hosting debut: 'It's called manifesting'

In addition to being 100%... you know what, Lizzo is giving her 100% as her first ever "SNL" host.

Not only this, she was also tonight's musical guest.

But before blessing fans with her musical skills and hilarious sketches, Lizzo gets real during the opening monologue. "My name is Lizzo and, yes, I'm surprised I even have clothes on," she joked, stepping out in a bright blue dress with a matching shimmery fringe jacket.

It wouldn't have been a full Lizzo monologue without bringing in the only Captain America, Chris Evans.

"I read a lot of gossip online that I'm dating every white guy in Hollywood," she said. "They think I'm collecting One Direction members like the Infinity Stones."

Lizzo also heard a rumor that she is pregnant with Evans' child. (Remember when the two exchanged flirty Instagram DMs?)

"It could have been the TikTok I did where I said, 'I'm pregnant with Chris Evans' baby.' Lizzo laughed, calling herself out for starting the rumor. "It's called revealing."

"I'm really excited," Lizzo said during her monologue. "Tonight, we're going to make history! That's right, we're going to break the record for the amount of time it can be said on live TV!"

Before saying the words three times, she admitted: "I hate being abused in front of my mom," before waving to her mom in the audience. "Hey mama!"

Lizzo jokes that her mother didn't appreciate her use of profanity, but "I'm rich now" so she has no other choice.

In fact, Lizzo's monologue wouldn't be complete without sprinkling a feel-good dose of self-love.

"I love you, you're beautiful and you can do anything. I'm living proof of that. I used to live in my car and now I'm hosting 'Saturday Night Live'," she closes .

Later in the night, Lizzo enthusiastically announced herself as the musical guest before she took to the stage to perform the groovy new summer anthem "About Demon Time".

For her second performance of the night, Lizzo's mom proudly introduced her daughter. Stepping out in a hot pink minidress under a glitter corset, the singer performed the forceful single from her upcoming new album of the same name, "Special."

Tonight marked the second time Lizzo entered the "SNL" stage, the first time in 2019 when Eddie Murphy returned to host.

Earlier this year, Lizzo also announced that she would be hosting her own reality show called "Watch Out for the Big Girls," which the singer is looking for dancers to join on tour.

"Watch Out for the Big Girls" is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
