Ariana Grande is still processing her viral Saturday Night Live sketch, in which she played a character named Antonio, who was characterized by a bowl-cut wig.

Grande appeared on the NBC late-night show on October 12 and is seemingly still holding on to Antonio.

“He’s still with me, you know?” Grande told host Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. “I’m still unpacking the emotional weight of Antonio with my therapist.”

In the sketch “Castriti,” Grande plays Antonio, who is presented by his parents (Andy Samberg and Maya Rudolph) as a performer who, following a castration process, is able to preserve his high-pitched vocals.

The sketch went viral after screenshots of Grande as Antonio were shared on social media. Grande’s interpretation of Antonio as a dead-eyed castrato and bowl-cut wig has been used for memes.

So are you team Elphaba or team Glinda? Green or pink? Moody baddie or bubbly queen?

It seem like, as with all things in America currently, “Wicked” aims to reflect the toxic factionalism our society can’t help but be wrapped up in.

Chu discussed why he felt the musical film speaks to the woes we presently face in this country and offers a different angle on dealing with our problems.

“Hearing each other means getting out of your bubble a little bit,” Chu said, referencing the bubble Glinda the Good Witch travels by. “And that takes courage to pop your bubble and to also see these other things and to hear it and to forgive each other and give each other grace for these things. Because I think that’s...

"Wicked" began its life as a playful, lore-rich 1995 novel by Gregory Maguire, which imagined deep backstories and complex relationships between the characters from "The Wizard of Oz." By Maguire's imagining, the green-skinned Wicked Witch of the West was merely misunderstood and marginalized. In 2003, lyricist Stephen Schwartz and dramatist Winnie Holzman adapted Maguire's novel into a Broadway musical that almost instantly became a runaway hit. "Wicked" won three Tonys, and had since set up camp on Broadway, becoming one of the longest-running shows in the history of the Great White Way. As of this writing, "Wicked" has surpassed "Cats" in number of performances.

Due in theaters on November 27, 2024, is the first part of a massive two-film adaptation of "Wicked" directed by the venerable Jon M. Chu. Although the stage version of "Wicked" only runs about two and a half hours, Chu has elected to expand it into a "Dune"-sized event,...

Leaning into her Glinda the Good Witch cosplay, Ariana Grande made her way to the Oscars 2024.

This past weekend, Hallmark made its pop culture programming debut at New York Comic Con with The Way Home, its new series about three generations of women who find themselves reunited after 20 years apart.

Set in the Canadian farm town of Port Haven, on the surface the series is standard fare for the network: a female-fronted drama about strong-willed women who work to uncover truths, mend broken relationships and reclaim lost time. What’s less traditional is its literal time travel element, which sees Kat Landry (Chyler Leigh) team with her teen daughter, Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow), after they discover the ability to move between the past and present.

It ultimately gives them power to unearth details around their family’s early tragedies, including life-changing events that prompted Kat to leave home and her mother, Del (Andie MacDowell), two decades earlier.
