Every Time Ariana Grande Appeared on the ‘Ellen’ Show

Now of course it's Fall and that means that days are getting shorter and well... I don't know how this happened again. I think there's someone in my bushes. It's time for our favorite new game Who's In My Bushes? [MUSIC PLAYING] Who's In My Bushes? Here's how it works. There has been a celebrity hiding in my bushes since last Friday. I am going to ask him questions and we can see if we can figure out who it is. I have a feeling this is going to be a difficult one. I'm going to need someone to he

lp. Maddie Cookson, where's Maddie Cookson? [MUSIC PLAYING] How are you? Good, how are you? I'm good, Maddie. Come stand next to me over here. OK So we will ask some questions. We'll try to figure out who's in my bushes, all right? OK. OK, great. This is random, but do you like toast? No. It's like a child back there. It's like a little three-year-old child. What's one thing you've never told anyone before? I only wear Ellen DeGeneres panties. Ah. Well, they have good taste if they wear Ellen un

derwear. If you had three apples and four oranges in one hand, you had four apples and three oranges in the other hand, what would you have? Large hands. OK. [LAUGHTER] Too hard to answer. Are you a good dancer? Sometimes, Jess. Jess. Yes, she says. You got any guesses so far? Not a clue. You have a question? Why don't you ask a question? Are you a boy or a girl? That's a good one. Let's narrow it down. A girl. Is your last name the size of a drink at Starbucks? Yes. Ariana Grande. That's right,

it's Ariana Grande. [MUSIC PLAYING] It's Ariana Grande. I know. [CHEERING] I don't know how you have time to be here. I saw you on Saturday Night Live. You were fantastic on Saturday Night Live. Thank you. You're doing great. Thank you. You're doing fantastic and you're on tour right now, right? Yes. Yeah, I've been staying in your bushes though. Is that all right? That's fine. OK, yeah. You can crash in my bushes any time you want. Thank you. And so are you on tour or you're just starting tour

? I start in February, but we've just been like putting it together and starting rehearsals and like having creative meetings. It's very exciting. That's exciting. That's going to be really, really fun. Where are you starting? Kansas City. Exciting and you can't just come here and tell us about a tour unless you have something else to say. I believe. Do you want to come to the tour? Yes. There you go. Thank you! Is that what my tickets look like? Yeah. I've never seen them. They're giant. Oh, ye

ah. They're enormous. [LAUGHTER] They're that big. So yeah, I'll see you there. Yeah. Thank you. It's exciting, right? We're excited. All right, thanks for being here, Ariana and we'll be back. Oh, thank you so much. And a blade of grass. And a blade of grass as opposed as a blade of grass. You're a cow. Yes. Was that something you just had laying around the house or how did you choose this outfit? No, I don't really know. It's just I figured it'd be cute and there it is. It's adorable. Is it cu

mbersome to sit down with udders on your stomach like that? It's a little hard, but it's worth it. All right, it is. It's adorable. Are you way into Halloween? I am way into Halloween. When I was a little girl I remember my mom, I inherited it from my mom. My mom used to smear fake blood all over the walls and then we'd have to scrub and repaint the wall the next day, so. Wow. It's a totally normal family. Yeah, totally normal. Yeah. And so "Focus" comes out today, right? Yes. Congratulations. T

hank you. That was a great song. Thank you. So I texted, I'm sure it got to you, but I texted Scooter after I saw you on Scream Queens and I thought you were hilarious. Thank you. And you were great and that scene where you get killed I thought was the funniest scene, but it was hilarious, but I heard you were scared during that scene. Thank you. You know, it was. It was actually kind of scary because I never filmed like I never filmed a scary scene before and once the doors were closed and it w

as just me and the red devil and the one camera dude, it was really intimate. It was really scary. Yeah, but it was the devil texting you he was going to kill you and you texted back, "what?" I mean, he told me. I don't know why I didn't see it coming. [LAUGHTER] I know, but it was hilarious. It was really funny. Thank you. Now will we see you? Are you dead or will you come back as a-- will we see you again? I'm dead, but I will come back and resurrect. In some form? Yeah. I can't wait. It's a g

ood show. I think it's really clever. Yeah, I love it too. And a great cast too. So you have a new perfume. Yes. And it's called Ari and this is something that you've been working on for a while? Yes, I'm so happy that it's out. It smells really good. I'm really excited about it. I'm glad it smells good. Yeah, that's important for it to smell good. Yeah, that's the point. That's the goal, I hope. Yes. [LAUGHTER] And now Ari, is it named after the Ari that works here? Yes, where is he? Well, we'r

e not going to tell you right now. Oh, OK. Yeah, but he is here. It's actually for him. Really? No. No, no. [LAUGHTER] "Ari" is your nickname. Is that why it's "Ari?" Yeah. All right. Here's what we're going to do. We're going to play a game called Ari Smells Ari. Oh, wow. [MUSIC PLAYING] OK. All right, so I'm going to blindfold you. OK. And we have your perfume Ari and you put it on. I don't want to mess your ears up. So we've sprayed your perfume on one person that's coming out here and you ha

ve to smell each of them and see which one is wearing Ari. OK, come on out guys. [MUSIC PLAYING] Things I would do to you. You can use your hands. You can sniff what ever you want to sniff. You can-- what's that? Oh, my god. All right. It's wet. Well, he just got out of the shower. Oh, god. Oh, my! There's a nipple. [LAUGHTER] Well. A nipple. You can smell wherever you want to smell. Where you think they have it? Where you guys going? Do you smell anything? This is so invasive. That's baby powde

r. Your heart is beating so fast. [LAUGHTER] Well, you're touching him. It's very exciting. All right, where do I go? All right. This is so weird. Here's the next one. Oh, my god. Hello. [LAUGHTER] What is this? What's that part? [LAUGHTER] That's so hard. [LAUGHTER] You're the only smelling the solar plex. [LAUGHTER] I mean, wherever you think. Where is it supposed to be? I don't know, wherever they would-- That's an armpit. All right. Did it smell good though? That's a nipple. All right and th

en the next one? This is-- no, we're good. I think you're wearing it. All right. Am I done? The last one. Yes. OK. My final answer. You can take your blindfold off if you want. Can I smell your wrist? All right. Well, that's-- Oh, my god. Wow. This is you. I have it on my shoulder. Oh, you do. [OVERLAPPING SPEECH] I was right. He was wearing Ari. Isn't that amazing? Yeah, it's amazing. I'm so sorry. That was it. Yeah. He's got it too. He's got one of those too. Whoa. Go to Spotify to hear Ariana

's new single "Focus." We'll be right back. So glad you're here. Thank you so much. Me too. Hillary Clinton was supposed to be here. Yes. And she's not and you're here so thank you. I'm not as exciting of a place filler, but the honor is mine and I'm very excited to be here. Well. I'm going to ask you the same questions I would have asked her so let's talk about-- No. [LAUGHTER] I'm kidding. That would be crazy if you did that. [LAUGHTER] I know. I would love to hear your answers, but I'm not go

ing to do that. The last time you were here, you were dressed as a cow. Yes, I was. Yes. It was crazy. Yes, you were utterly adorable. Oh, thank you. You get it? Because you had udders, you were a cow. There it is. Yes. You love Halloween. I do. Do you get scared easily? Oh, no. Is that going to happen? My one of those? Please don't make me one of those. No, I'm saying no. We're good. It's not. I swear, it's not, but I want you to go to a haunted house. So down. You'll do that? I will absolutely

do that. OK, I'm going to send you to a haunted house and we're going to show it on the Halloween show. OK. All right, great. You promise? Yeah, oh, no. I promise for sure. I pinky promise. Pinky swear. All right. Oh, I'm so excited. Oh, good. I can't wait to see you in a haunted house. I'm very scare-able. OK, good. Good. Oh, I'm kidding. Oh, no, no, no. No, I'm not. I'm so anxious. No. Anyway. I'm not going to do it. Let's talk about the VMAs. You started out your routine. You were on like a

Lifecycle, you were on a bike, and then you actually sang which first of all, thank you for really singing. It's horrible to watch those shows and nobody really sings. I love when people really sing, so thank you for really singing. Thank you. Did you think it through that because it seemed like you were a little out of breath. It was definitely tiring, but I was like, you know what? It's worth it. I need to be on a bike so I'm committed to it, stuck with it. Yep. Had the idea of the bike thing

the first time I heard Nicki's verse and she says the phrase ""[BLEEP] bicycle" and the idea was born and I really committed to it. What? [LAUGHTER] Yeah, she has a lyric in the song. She says "[BLEEP] bicycle." What does that mean? You know, uh. Mm-mhm. I really don't. I mean, I think I'm down with it. I know the lyrics, but what does that mean? Like is that like a banana seat? [LAUGHTER] Kind of. Is it? I don't know actually. Well, you should know. We should, I think, you know, I was on the bi

ke. I sang, that happened, and you know. This is totally different than the Hillary interview. [LAUGHTER] It'd be wild if next time you see her you asked her about her [BLEEP] bicycle. Yeah. That would be crazy. I will bring it up and it'll just be a joke between all of us. Hope for the best. Yeah. Let's talk about your love life. Can we? Oh, my god. Do you mind? Oh, God. I do. I don't know, man. This is so crazy. But the only-- what? The thing is the guy that you're with is Mac Miller, right? O

h, my god. This is coming up. When you were here before, he was he was a dancer. No, he's a rapper. He was with you. Yeah, we performed together on your show. We were babies. And I asked you-- Wow, that's so-- I asked you something about him and you said, oh, I'm his homie and now he's living in your homie. [LAUGHTER] OK. There's that. Right. Because y'all were, that was three years ago. Oh, wow. It was. Yeah. So you've been friends and then all of a sudden now you find out? This is so crazy. I'

ve never like had the relationship talk on a show before. It's just me so far. Yeah. You haven't joined in, but you're with him, right, and you're happy and stuff? Oh, yeah. Good. OK. Thanks. That's good. Good talk. Good talk. So back to the [BLEEP] bicycle. No. [LAUGHTER] I'm trying to get away from that. So you're doing Hairspray Live? Yes. You'll talk about that. I'm very excited about Hairspray Live. That's exciting. Yes, I get to play Penny Pingleton which is one of my dream roles since I w

as like 10. That's very cool. December 7th, I'm very excited. NBC. That's really exciting and you're going to go on tour again. Yes, in February. That's really exciting. So it feels like we can't just talk about you going on tour without actually maybe giving tickets away to everybody. That would just be cool. Well, [OVERLAPPING SPEECH] [CHEERING] Now is the time. I've been waiting for this moment for a long, long time and I'm sure you've been waiting also here's what happened when I sent my pro

ducer, Andy along with Ariana Grande, to the American Horror Story Maze at Universal Studios horror nights. [MUSIC PLAYING] Andy Lassner here. Ariana Grande. We're about to go in. We're going to go in. All right, so it's important that you listen to me. It's fine. Yeah, it's more I think just seeing. It's not bad. It's just noise. [SCREAMING] [BLEEP] Ariana, we got this. We got this. It's hard to see. All right, just a bed. Oh, its bad. It's bad. It's bad. [BLEEP] It's just a-- oh, [BLEEP]. No,

no, no, no. [BLEEP] No, no, no, no, no. Stop. Go in. Go in. Close it. [SHOUTING] Oh, what's that? Oh, my God. Oh, my god. We're in a bathroom. [INAUDIBLE] Don't [BLEEP] my time with that [BLEEP].. No. Is this fun at all for you? Yeah. It's my nightmare. My legs are shaking. Got it. What the [BLEEP]? Get the [BLEEP] in bed. There's a door. Yeah, we see it. Nothing happens. I'm ready. So one of the doors, you know and so it's not scary. Probably that one. I'm ready, bro. Oh! [INTERPOSING VOICES] I

t's OK. It's just loud. We got it. It's just is loud. Hello, no thank you. You go first. [LAUGHTER] [INTERPOSING VOICES] Go! Let's go! Where the [BLEEP] is Andy, man? I'm in-- Let's go! Not here. OK, it's good. I need you to stick with me. What? You abandoned me and that doesn't work for me. You ran away! Come on. We're good. One time. Back to your thing. You're big! You're tiny! Does this ever end is the question? I'm good. Are you good? Yeah, I'm good. Are you good? OK. We're good. We're good.

We're good. [INAUDIBLE] there. That's the third time. [BLEEP] I'm reporting her. Oh. It wasn't bad. It wasn't bad. I didn't love that. I'm a little nervous. Somewhere in there is my heart. Have a good night, Ellen. Have a good day. Thank you, Ellen's. This is the last year we're doing it. [MUSIC PLAYING]
