Is there a new episode of ‘SNL’ tonight?

Yes! The March 8 episode will be a new, live show hosted by Lady Gaga. Gaga will also perform as the episode's musical guest.

A double-duty "SNL" episode seems especially fitting for Gaga, who's been nominated for four Oscars and 38 Grammys. Gaga also released her latest album, "Mayhem," on March 7.

Ahead of the episode, the singer and actor gave viewers a glimpse of her creative “process” when she played piano and made up impromptu lyrics about the show’s embarrassed cast members in a hilarious promo.

Dressed down in a ball cap and eyeglasses, Gaga noted that Andrew Dismukes ordered his breakfast sandwich at 2 p.m. and that Devon Walker was "taking a big swing" by donning a new cowboy hat.

Gaga then busted Heidi Gardner, who emerged from her office in jammies and an eye mask, for sleeping on the "SNL" set.

"And the question is why?" Gaga sang, hitting a dazzling high note.

"And the answer is bed bugs," Gardner sang back, which seemed to inspire the crescendo for Gaga's song.

"She has bedbugs!" Gaga belted out with passion.

I’m actually from Connecticut, but that’s neither here nor there. The point is that I hope…

TOBY
She meant Jewish.

[A stunned silence. Everyone stares at Toby.]

TOBY (CONT.)
When she said “New York sense of humor,” she was talking about you and me.

JOSH
You know what, Toby, let’s just not even go there.
