“I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want anybody to think I’m insane and too comfortable,” Grande said, “but I was like, ‘How funny would it be if we kissed at the end?’”
Yang suggested the addition and Grande agreed, later noting of the moment, “For the characters, it was perfectly open.”
The episode marked Grande’s second time hosting SNL, and she raved about the experience.
“It’s just a really safe and fun experience,” she explained. “I just love comedy, and I think that’s why I was excited to go.”
Calling Yang her “literal best friend,” the pop star also apologized to him, saying that ahead of her hosting gig, “I felt like I was blowing you up because I couldn’t stop texting and saying ideas for bits and silly silly things.”
