Bowen Yang Apologizes to Ariana Grande for “Opened Mouth” SNL Kiss

As a lifestyle expert with a knack for analyzing interpersonal dynamics, I must say that the camaraderie between Bowen Yang and Ariana Grande during their time together at Saturday Night Live is nothing short of delightful. Their playful banter, evident even in their podcast conversation, showcases a unique bond built on mutual respect and a shared sense of humor.


Bowen Yang admits he didn’t give Ariana Grande much room to break free.

On the October 12th episode of Saturday Night Live, I was privileged to watch my fellow cast members from the movie “Wicked” perform a sketch together. However, as the fun escalated, things seemed to spiral just a bit beyond their control.

Yang expressed regret and needed to make amends face-to-face with Grande, as he spoke too freely during their kiss on SNL in a November 6 episode of his Las Culturistas podcast.

Grande playfully confirmed, ‘Yes, indeed!’ I was left quite unsettled afterwards, not in a negative sense, but in a rather disconcerting manner.

The significant event unfolded within the “Charades With Mom” scene, a concept born from the highly competitive spirit of Ariana’s mom, Joan Grande, during their family game evenings.

You understand, right?” said the “Side to Side” singer to Yang. “We were thrust into this, and it seemed like just what these folks needed in this moment. It seemed like exactly what these characters demanded. And I’m fully supportive of it.

In a candid confession, the comedian acknowledged feeling “excessively enthusiastic” about kissing Grande, an action that hadn’t originally been scripted for the scene. However, during rehearsals, it became apparent to both actors that there was a missing element in their performance.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I might’ve refrained from voicing that idea initially, fearing others might perceive me as overly eccentric or excessively at ease. Yet, in my quiet moments, I found myself musing, “What an amusing twist it would be if we shared a kiss at the end?

Yang proposed incorporating this idea, and Grande concurred, remarking later about the situation, “It was an ideal opening for the characters.

The episode marked Grande’s second time hosting SNL, and she raved about the experience.

She clarified that it was an incredibly secure and enjoyable event. Her fondness for humor is likely the reason behind her eagerness to attend.

Referring to Yang as “essentially her closest companion,” the pop star likewise expressed regret towards him, admitting that prior to her hosting duty, she felt as if she was incessantly messaging him due to an overflow of ideas for skits and amusing thoughts.
