Ariana Grande on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

with AG Ariana Grande

The Hang, in Short

Amy and Bowen Yang have THOUGHTS about Zoom etiquette before they even get to Ariana. Specifically, that blurred backgrounds are definitely hiding unmade beds and people need to get in front of a blank wall like grown adults. "You're a grown man and somehow you're under lit. Fix it." Bowen remembers the pandemic days of film studio heads on Zoom with crumpled duvets behind them. Wild times. They're here to talk about Ariana Grande's Wicked 2 press run, but first Amy gushes over Las Culturistas (and that Lost Culture Award Show IP). Bowen tells the story of how Ariana literally called Lorne Michaels to negotiate getting him time off SNL for Wicked filming. Within weeks of meeting they were watching Mommy Dearest and playing rummy cube together. His question for her: what's the best note to sing? Not B minor, that old chestnut.
