Saturday Night Live (SNL) comedian Bowen Yang apologized to Ariana Grande for opening his mouth “too much” during a kiss shared on live TV. Appearing on the Las Culturistas podcast on Wednesday (November 7) along with Matt Rogers, Bowen and Ariana discussed their SNL sketch, with the songstress affirming that there was “no beef” between them.
Looking back at the SNL episode, entitled “Charades with Mom,” with Ariana, which aired last month, Bowen revealed: “I really have to apologize to you in person.
“I opened up my mouth too much when we kissed on SNL.”
Ariana subsequently quipped: “You absolutely did. I was shaking after. Not in a bad way. Just in a disarming way.”

Bowen further apologized: “I’m so sorry. I kissed you too much,” to which Ariana reassured him that it was all for television.
The 31-year-old singer shared: “It felt like what these people needed at that time. It felt like what these characters required. I’m all for it.”
Ariana explained that introducing a kiss into her sketch with Bowen was something she had initially planned, without knowing her counterpart had been thinking the same thing.

The Grammy Awards winner said: “When we rehearsed it, [I had] a little thought in my head.
“I didn’t say anything because I was like, ‘Everyone’s going to think I’m absolutely insane and too comfortable.’
“But I [thought to myself], ‘How funny would it be if we kissed at the end?’
“And then Bowen texts me a few hours later, [saying] ‘It’s totally fine if this is way too crazy, but we were talking and thought it would be so funny if we kissed at the end.’
“And I was like, ‘Wow, I was thinking that.’”
