Watch Ariana Grande slay with impersonations of Britney, Whitney, J Law and more
First-time "Saturday Night Live" host Ariana Grande showed off some secret weapons when it came to heading up the sketch comedy mainstay.
Who knew she was so good at impressions? And not just of the acting variety.
While it's no surprise that Grande can sing, viewers were surprised to learn she could mimic so many other famous crooners, as she did in a skit about an intern at Jay Z's streaming service, Tidal, saving the day after a power outage fries their song servers.
Grande's character quickly works her way through selections by Britney Spears, Shakira, Rihanna, Celine Dion and Whitney Houson with some spot-on impressions. Not too shabby.
In less musically inclined material, Grande also did a knockout impression of Jennifer Lawrence for a "Celebrity Family Feud" skit, artfully mimicking the down-to-earth Oscar-winner.
She also pulled off a unique feat: Performing in a skit lampooning the Kids' Choice Awards while also winning one at the actual awards in L.A.
so, funny timing. while I was doing the KCA skit, I won an actual KCA. THANK YOU BABES ♡ and thank you @NickelodeonTV, always grateful.
