And Grande delivered again and again during a night that was never incredible but enjoyably consistent.
No outright bombs were in sight, and Grande often saved the sketches that almost became near misses.

Nothing new, but still decidedly fun.
A Scandalous Monologue
Grande predictably pulls out a musical number for her monologue.
(Both of those, by the way, Dangerous Woman and Be Alright are quite good.)
Thats been Bernie Sanders?
Weekend Update
Is Cecily Strongs Drunkest Girl onThe Bachelor an amalgam of other characters shes played on Update?
To a certain extent, yes.
(Though fans of the reality series may notice her uncanny resemblance to one particular contestant,Lace.)
Again in a night where little felt new, this was a fun variation on previous material.
