Ariana Grande hosted “Saturday Night Live” this weekend and impersonated several women in Hollywood.
During her opening monologue, the “Positions” singer, 31, said she was only there to host and wanted to be “low-key” during the episode.
“I’m not gonna do my impressions. . . No Britney Spears today,” Grande said, likely referencing a 2023 appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” when she played a game of musical impressions and impersonated the “Toxic” singer.
However, once Grande was handed a microphone, she jumped into impressions of Spears, Miley Cyrus and Gwen Stefani.
Later in the show, the Grammy winner starred in a sketch with Chloe Fineman as they channeled “White Lotus” alum Jennifer Coolidge, 63.
Fineman and Grande spoofed a Maybelline commercial for a lipgloss and riffed off of each other as they both played the “American Pie” star.
The “Scream Queens” alum played the role of Coolidge’s own reflection in the mirror, while Fineman played the “Legally Blonde” actress.
“Wow you look great, Jennifer Coolidge,” Grande said in Coolidge’s famous voice. “Heck yeah!”
In the sketch, Grande and Fineman’s portrayal of Coolidge featured the Emmy winner prepping to go on a date while they hyped each other up.
“Wayne’s World” actor Dana Carvey even joined in on the fun and put on his best Coolidge impression.
Later, Grande added more fun to the evening with a Celine Dion impression for a UFC sports promo set to the tune of “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now.”
Soon after clips of Grande’s impressions landed on social media, many of her fans took to the comments to react.
“She was so accurate with the impressions omg,” one admirer wrote, while another added, “Ariana’s impressions were flawless; she captured every iconic voice perfectly!”
Despite her successful impressions, some fans didn’t think Grande perfectly executed Cyrus’ voice.
“miley’s voice is so unique i don’t think anyone can impersonate her voice correctly 😭,” one fan quipped, while a second added, “Ariana’s only terrible impression.”
The “Victorious” alum appeared on the comedy sketch show over the weekend to promote her upcoming film “Wicked” which will premiere in theaters on Nov. 22.
