Did you catch Ariana Grande's hilarious hosting gig on SNL? From kissing Bowen Yang to impersonating Celine Dion, it's a wild ride! 🎤💋

Ariana Grande made a splash as the guest host on Saturday Night Live, and believe us, the energy was electric! In her debut since 2016, she showcased not only her vocal prowess but her knack for imitation, bringing icons like Celine Dion, Britney Spears, and Miley Cyrus to life. In an unforgettable monologue, she turned the stage into a Broadway extravaganza, delighting fans with her theatrical charm while playfully addressing her dreams as a theater kid. If you’ve ever wondered what an impressionist showdown between a pop star and UFC fighters would look like, Ariana delivered that and more!

One of the highlights of the night was her hilarious skit involving Bowen Yang. This moment was not just about the comedic tension but also sparked laughter from viewers when the duo shared an unexpected kiss. Talk about breaking the ice! Their chemistry brought a wave of giggles, proving that even a tight script can leave room for spontaneous laughter. And let’s not overlook the impressions that stole the show. Ariana’s uncanny ability to impersonate not just her peers but legends in the industry allows fans to see her diverse talents shine.

But the fun didn’t stop there! SNL’s format allowed her to flex her vocal chops throughout the show, treating audiences to unexpected musical moments. While Ariana might not have been the musical guest this time, her performances of “Wicked” numbers and parody songs had everyone singing along. Each tune was imbued with her signature flair, transforming sketches into catchy performances that will linger in the minds of viewers long after the credits roll.

Intriguingly, Ariana also managed to bring a little UFC flair into her charmingly themed comedy skits. Who knew that Celine Dion could effectively promote a UFC fight? This quirky mashup exemplified how Ariana continues to push artistic boundaries while loving what she does. And fans were delighted to see her take on the legacy of comedy legends like Jennifer Coolidge—a nod to those who appreciate 90s humor.

In addition to her comedic endeavors, Ariana Grande has an impressive resume in musical theater, evident from her role in “Wicked”. Did you know that prior to her fame, she was already a Broadway star? Gracing the stage at just 15 years old in “13” helped her hone her craft before she hit the pop charts! Plus, thinking back to her iconic moments on social media, Grande’s playful persona keeps fans waiting eagerly for her next unexpected turn.

Speaking of surprises, during her previous stint on SNL, she was known for bringing sketches to life with her energetic performances. Who could forget her Christmas hits? Ever the overachiever, Ariana Grande’s multi-talented nature continues to solidify her place as one of the industry’s most beloved performers. This SNL gig will undoubtedly add another chapter to her vibrant career!
