Mk.gee dazzles with 'Alesis' and 'Rockman' renditions during 'SNL' debut: Watch

Mk.gee brought an air of mystery to Studio 8H during his Saturday Night Live Musical guest debut on November 9th.

The enigmatic 28-year-old multi-instrumentalist performed rousing renditions of his songs “Alesis” and “Rockman” on the long-running sketch comedy show, hosted by comedian Bill Burr.

In his first performance of the night, Mk.gee (born Mike Gordon) took to the stage against a dimly lit backdrop to deliver a haunting rendition of “Alesis” from his 2024 debut album. Two Star & The Dream Police. Later in the episode, he returned for a powerful rendition of “Rockman,” along with fellow musicians Zack Sekoff and Andrew Aged.

Currently on a world tour, Mk.gee will be heading to Australia in December. She also recently revealed that she is working in the studio on Justin Bieber's upcoming album.

SNL will return on November 16, with pop star Charli XCX doing double duty as both host and musical guest. While the Brat The hitmaker has appeared as a musical guest twice before, this will be her first time hosting the show.

SNL has definitely kept Charli in the spotlight, especially her Brat time. In the season premiere, cast member Bowen Yang even dressed in full Charli drag for a skit depicting the pop star hosting her Talk Talk Show.

Even Charli herself was impressed by the sketch. Speaking with Howard Stern, the singer shared that she thought Young did an “amazing job” portraying her. “Think SNL it's iconic,” he said. “We had a feeling it was coming, so we were really excited about it. I love Bowen… I was really impressed with the texture of the hair. I thought it was a great wig. It was good, it was cool.”
