"given that her last appearance included a musical ode to a friend's house that quickly took a turn, it raised the question of whether we might see something similarly grim this week.Spoiler alert: we did, in the form of a sketch that revisited the heartwarming climax of the original film with a bit more viscera. (It's something of a sequel to a similar sketch starring Martin Short and Steve Martin from a few years ago.)"
"It was also one of several occasions this episode where SNL let Grande go big; another came when she hosted a PSA for "safe rooms" for women drunk on espresso martinis, which lets her play both a calm and rational narrator and an agent of chaos. Sometimes, at the end of a surreal year, that's all you need."
Ariana Grande returned to host Saturday Night Live in an episode featuring a farewell to Bowen Yang and a notably one-sided Weekend Update exchange. The episode included a sketch that revisited the Home Alone climax with added gore, playing on longstanding curiosity about the traps' real-world consequences. Grande committed enthusiastically to her role, portraying Kevin effectively, and Colin Jost earned laughs with his presence. The show also staged a PSA parody about "safe rooms" for women drunk on espresso martinis, allowing Grande to alternate between calm narration and chaotic behavior. The cast displayed energetic performances throughout.
