Ariana Grande is set to bring festive cheer as she hosts Saturday Night Live (SNL) this week, with the legendary Cher making a special musical guest appearance. A humorous promo video was released on Wednesday, showcasing Grande preparing for her SNL debut in a hilarious winter ensemble.
In the engaging clip, SNL cast member Ashley Grombol visits Grande’s dressing room to invite her for some snowy fun, including throwing snowballs at cast member Ben Marshall and checking out the iconic Rockefeller Christmas tree. To gear up for the cold, Grande humorously layers on a vest, gloves, earmuffs, boots, and a massive jacket. As the temperature continues to drop, she humorously tries to add even more layers, including a hat, a large scarf, and extra mittens. “Jesus Christ!” she exclaims, reacting to the chilly weather forecast.
Grande’s exaggerated outfit leads to a comedic moment as she waddles out, only to find out from Grombol that the Christmas tree is no longer available for viewing. However, Grombol reassures her with a clever plan to check out the tree from Lorne Michaels’ office. Just when you think the laughs will continue, Grande comically announces, “Um, I have to pee,” before making her exit in her over-the-top winter attire.
These light-hearted moments come as Grande enjoys a highly successful period in her career. She recently starred as Glinda in the film adaptation of Wicked and has received two Golden Globe nominations this year. Additionally, she has made waves in the music industry with her latest album, Eternal Sunshine, released in 2024, along with its follow-up, Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead.
With the combination of her undeniable talent and engaging personality, Ariana Grande’s SNL appearance is highly anticipated as she continues to charm audiences and spread holiday cheer.
