Bowen Yang and Ariana Grande took advantage of having the iconic Stevie Nicks in their presence.
In a new promo for the upcoming Oct. 12 episode of Saturday Night Live, Grande and Yang discuss Grande returning as host of the sketch comedy series. “You know what they say, lightning strikes once, maybe twice,” the Wicked star says in reference to Fleetwood Mac’s 1982 hit, “Gypsy,” hoping that Nicks might sing along.
“You can’t trick me into singing,” Nicks tells the crew, with Yang and Grande nodding in agreement before discussing how their weekend went. “It was good, you know, I climbed a mountain and I turned around,” Grande says.
“That’s so funny, because I saw my reflection on the snow-covered hills,” Yang responds, finally prompting Nicks to complete the lyrics of Fleetwood Mac’s 1975 classic, “Landslide,” by singing, “And the landslide brought me down.”
This weekend’s stint will mark Grande’s second time helming SNL, following her hosting debut in 2016. Following the release of her Billboard 200-topping album Eternal Sunshine earlier this year, the Grammy winner served as musical guest on a Josh Brolin-hosted episode of the show in March, and participated in a couple sketches, including a Moulin Rouge parody with Yang. Meanwhile, Nicks will be the musical guest for the first time since 1983. Fleetwood Mac has never performed on the show.
