Ariana Grande Drops Unexpected Profanity Into ‘SNL’ Monologue
6 hours ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Singer and actress Ariana Grande surprised the “Saturday Night Live” audience and crew with an unexpected profanity during her monologue on the program, a slip that in the past has sparked controversy on the late-night program.
Grande used her opening moments on the NBC program to poke fun at her past as a child star on Nickelodeon, then transitioned into a musical number in which she pondered what sort of scandal she might eventually encounter. She appeared to flub a line, and in reaction, uttered the phrase “Oh, s–t” while continuing with the song.
Grande’s mistake was unscripted, according to a person familiar with the program, and was expected to be cleaned up for the show’s broadcast on the West Coast.
The celebrity’s stint on the show was otherwise winning. She seemed to really grab the audience during a sketch in which she did impressions of »

The cast and executive producers of HBO’s “Silicon Valley” appeared at SXSW on Saturday for a raucous panel that previewed two scenes from the Season 3 premiere and gave fans insight into how the tech-based comedy is made.
During the panel, exec producer Alec Berg addressed criticism about the show’s lack of diverse casting, pointing out that the industry the show is portraying is predominantly whitewashed and male-dominated.
“The first season, we got a lot of flack — some of it deservedly so — about how male and white the makeup of the show was, but we’re also satirizing a real world,” he said. “That real world, the people who do what our guys do, are 87% male. Venture capitalists at the partner level are 96% male and white, so the world we’re depicting is every bit as off-kilter as our show is.”
