Comedian Bowen Yang has publicly apologized to Ariana Grande for his “too much” behavior during their on-set kiss on *Saturday Night Live*. During a recent episode of the podcast *Las Culturistas*, Yang expressed remorse, stating he needed to apologize in person.
Grande, appearing as a guest on the podcast, accepted the apology, admitting she was “shaking” after the kiss, but in a good way. She explained that the kiss was a spur-of-the-moment decision born from both her and Yang’s shared desire to add an unexpected twist to their *SNL* sketch.
The sketch involved Grande and Yang playing warring members of a family charades night, culminating in an escalating conflict. Grande revealed she initially hesitated to suggest the kiss, fearing it would be perceived as “too comfortable.” However, Yang later texted her with the same idea, leading to the now-infamous kiss.
“It felt like what these people needed at that time,” Grande explained, adding that she was “all for it.”
