Madison pokes fun at her stripping skills in the SNL monologue
In her monologue, Madison explained, that she “did my own stunts for the film, including the dancing” and continued, “So, it does kind of bother me when people assume it wasn’t actually me on the pole, cause it was, and I can prove it right now.” Earlier this season of SNL, she was previously parodied by Heidi Gardner, as reported by People magazine.
Madison then made her way to a stripping pole nearby and stood there as the scene transitioned to another person who was wearing a long black wig and a sparkling dress similar to the actor’s. The person performed a pole dance routine which included handstand and more. Once the routine was completed, the real Madison appeared on screen again, flipped her hair and winked towards the camera.
