00:00 God, you look like the 4th of July.
00:04 Taking the dog, dumb a**.
00:07 What else can I do?
00:20 Liz Gillies?
00:22 Shall we go for it?
00:28 Uh huh, uh huh.
00:31 Everything is going as planned.
00:34 Except for the makeup.
00:36 Ariana Grande, queen of celebrity impressions.
00:40 I feel like every little project is like a little character.
00:43 So I just, yeah, I don't know.
00:44 But yeah, of course, I'll try anything.
00:46 Yeah, delivering epic impressions is nothing new to fans.
00:50 So in honor of Ariana's skills, ET's counting down her best impersonations.
00:55 First up, the Wicked star's uncanny imitation of bestie Elizabeth Gillies.
01:00 What else can I do?
01:03 Liz Gillies?
01:06 Yes!
01:08 And speaking of Elizabeth, let's throw back to the ladies' best,
01:14 Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara for Halloween last year.
01:17 She was very popular back then.
01:21 She had dozens of boyfriends.
01:23 Hundreds.
01:25 Hundreds.
01:26 Yeah, hundreds.
01:28 I did not know that.
01:30 Not that I didn't have quite the reputation myself, you know,
01:33 because I was considered by some to be quite the Casanova myself
01:39 back at Ponce de Leon Junior High.
01:41 Next, another Best in Show reenactment.
01:45 Everything is going as planned.
01:50 Except for the makeup.
01:52 Oh, everything's going as planned.
01:55 Except for the makeup.
01:56 Now, Ari's known to slay a movie recreation.
02:00 Thank you.
02:01 But what about her musical impressions?
02:05 [music]
02:08 [singing]
02:11 [singing]
02:13 [singing]
02:28 [singing]
02:56 I love being able to be a part of something that A, is musical,
02:59 and then B, also makes people feel good, makes people laugh.
03:02 Ariana's definitely nailed the art of making people laugh,
03:06 just like this funny star.
03:08 Okay, on the actor side, talks like a man,
03:15 but pH balance for a woman, is Jennifer Lawrence.
03:19 They told me not to do a game show, but I was like, "Screw it, I can have fun. I'm a regular person."
03:25 Check out Ari's not one, not two, not three, well, you get the idea,
03:30 her multiple impressions of Celine Dion.
03:33 I got the blues in my shoes, and I got the blue blues with you, so you.
03:40 Sorry, I've spent a little too much time watching her four-hour documentary,
03:44 Celine Through the Eyes of the World.
03:45 I love her.
03:46 I know every word.
03:47 Shall we go for it?
03:51 I wanted to take a moment to thank you for giving me the chance to perform for you.
03:55 Celine Dion is like, "Hello, that's my run."
03:57 Oh my God, I love your impression of her.
04:01 Okay!
04:15 I'm just feeling my way, let's go with you, yeah.
04:18 But I live.
04:20 But I live.
04:22 It was like so crazy.
04:24 Glitter all over my face.
04:28 Damn, how did that even get there?
04:31 So much pigment, I'm drowning in pigment.
04:34 God, you look like the Fourth of July.
04:42 Oh my God, you look like the Fourth of July.
04:46 And taking the top spot for Ari's celeb impersonations.
04:50 Taking the dog, dumb a**.
04:56 I'm taking the dog, dumb a**.
05:00 You should know that it was sort of the beginning of a lot of cool things that happened for me,
05:05 because, I don't know, I was sort of, you know, I was going through a dead zone,
05:10 and, you know, not much was going on.
05:13 And then, Ariana did this imitation on your show, and you encouraged her,
05:18 and then, this ball got rolling.
05:22 I mean, it's wonderful to be in an industry where we can support each other.
05:27 We support our talented peers.
05:30 I feel like Ariana Grande put me in her video, and that sort of changed,
05:34 you know, that changed a lot for me over the night.
05:38 You know, I blame her, and, I don't know, maybe people are just like, "She's still alive?"
05:48 Well, give her a salute or something.
05:51 Yeah, saluting and saying thank you to Ari for giving fans parodies and this perfect cameo.
