New York – Ariana Grande joined Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show to bring a fan-favorite viral meme inspired by The Wizard of Oz to life. The playful moment comes as Grande prepares to take center stage as Glinda the Good Witch in the highly anticipated Wicked film adaptation, which hits theaters next week.
The meme, known for its hilarious debate over the Good Witch of the North’s crown and bubble, features the iconic line, “She wore a crown, and she came down in a bubble, Doug!” Grande and Fallon re-enacted the dialogue with pitch-perfect comedic timing in a lighthearted skit, which quickly gained traction on social media and delighted their audiences.
