Did Ariana Grande Save Saturday Night Live?

Also: Billy Crystal

Just 18 days until the election! Hi, I’m Geoff Plitt, and welcome to What You Need to Know, the brief, weekly newsletter where I share the best comedy videos I’ve seen all week. It will always be free, and you’re welcome to become a friend by following me on Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok, where I share my own jokes every week.

And now, the videos you came for:

1. Ariana Grande was on SNL last weekend, scoring more viewers than the show has had in a while. I thought this was the funniest sketch— make sure to watch it until the end:

2. Here’s a sketch with Ariana as Celine Dion. She’s so great with impressions. Enjoy:

3. And one more, a musical ensemble-based sketch. Check it out:

4. Finally, Billy Crystal was recently on Kimmel, and holy smokes does Billy still have great jokes. I hope you enjoy watching him as much as I did:

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
