Ariana Grande sings her way through a strong ‘Saturday Night Live’

Ariana Grande is no stranger to Saturday Night Live, despite this only being her second time to host, the first time being some 8 years ago in 2016. She’s been the musical guest twice, and both of those times, she appeared in sketches. But here’s the thing: even though I shouldn’t be, I’m always surprised at how comically gifted she is. In my mind, Grande is first and foremost a pop diva with questionable taste in men. I always somehow manage to forget that she got her start on Nickelodeon comedies just like Saturday Night Live‘s most reliable player, Kenan Thompson. Ariana Grande’s been doing comedy since she was a literal child; of course she has good comic timing.
All of that is to say that Grande hosted a very solid episode this week. While the majority of her sketches put her in her comfort zone by having her sing (sometimes deliberately poorly), Grande was just as good — maybe even better — in sketches where she didn’t belt out a single note.

I never think of Josh Brolin as being a particularly funny actor. Which is strange, because he stars in one of my all-time favorite comedies, Flirting with Disaster, and is genuinely delightful in it. (You’ll never look at armpits the same way again.)
But here he is, hosting SNL for the third time in sixteen years, and he is as engaged, game, and hilarious as he was in Flirting with Disaster 28 years ago. You can’t accuse Brolin of not being enthusiastic: he readily strips down twice in the episode, seemingly unprompted at least one of the times; plays against a cat puppet; and finds himself unable to hold it together against the likes of one recurring character. Brolin is a solid host who appears to be enjoying himself — it’s no wonder why he was invited back, I’m just surprised it hasn’t happened more often.
