Ariana Grande's Jennifer Coolidge Impression Wasn't the Most-Watched ‘SNL' Sketch of the Season, This Recurring Character Was
After a historic year for 'Saturday Night Live,' the comedy series ranked their most viral sketches from Season 50, and Ariana Grande's performances came out on top.
The 'Wicked' star made her presence known at Studio 8H during her press tour for the blockbuster, with three of her sketches cracking the top five most-watched performances of the season.
The pop singer's Jennifer Coolidge impression came in as the 4th most-watched sketch of the season. Grande and Chloe Fineman mirrored their impressions of the 'White Lotus' star as they tested out Maybelline's latest lip product.
But the recurring sketch that dominated the season was another one of Grande's: 'Domingo.' The Oscar nominee was joined by a cast of bridesmaids to toast the bride with an original song to the tune of Sabrina Carpenter's 'Espresso.'
Grande's ability to sing off-key went viral on social media, leading the cast to bring back the sketch format twice more during the season — once for Charli XCX's episode and a third time during the 50th Anniversary special, featuring Carpenter herself. 'Domingo: Babymoon' was the second-most watched sketch of the season.
Another sketch from the 'Thank U, Next' singer that was third most-watched overall was 'Castrati,' in which she plays a young boy who is castrated at eight or nine years old to preserve his falsetto singing voice. Her face of general disgust and horror as Antonio became a meme on social media, gaining traction for the sketch across platforms.
Several of Timothée Chalamet's performances also cracked the Top 10 most-watched sketches, including his performance as a barista-in-training and a bungee workout instructor.
Here's the full list of the top sketches of 'SNL' Season 50:
'Domingo: Bridesmaid Speech' feat. Ariana Grande
'Domingo: Babymoon' feat. Charli XCX
'Castrati' feat. Ariana Grande
'Maybelline' feat. Ariana Grande
'Mid-Day News 2' feat. Shane Gillis
'Bungee' feat. Timothée Chalamet
'Port Authority Duane Reade' feat. John Mulaney
'New Barista Training' feat. Timothée Chalamet

Watch: Ariana Grande wakes up in 'Twilight Zone' music video
1 of 5 | Ariana Grande released a music video Friday for her song "Twilight Zone." File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo June 20 (UPI) -- Pop star and Wicked actress Ariana Grande released a music video for her song "Twilight Zone," along with an a cappella version of the track Friday. The music video begins with the elderly Grande from her Brighter Days Ahead short film watching a video of her younger self wake up. "Did I dream the whole thing? Was I just a nightmare?" she sings as she awakens. Grande takes in her ransacked surroundings and walks downstairs to find the area flooded. The video appears to be a prequel to the "Supernatural" video, released in May, which shows her leaving the home and walking through a ravaged residential area before being beamed up into an alien spacecraft. The a cappella version of her song was met with love from her fans. "Her voice is so unbelievably beautiful and soothing," one fan commented. "Her vocals are angelic." Grande released the deluxe version of her Eternal Sunshine album on March 28. Ariana Grande turns 30: a look back
