Katy Perry pokes fun at herself on SNL, which kicked off its 473rd season the other night. It hasn't been as good as it used to be since the 291st season, man.

She's going to be on the Simpsons this year as well, in animated form. This site says ""An executive producer for the Simpsons announced that they made the decision in light of the fact that Perry got turned down for Sesame Street." Which I don't believe for a moment. It's not like the Simpsons can spin around and turn out something instantly topical, can they? A certain amount of drawing seems involved. It's not done live before a studio audience.
