Adam McKay needs to make a visit to Hollywood Arts ASAP! McKay revealed that he didnât know that Ariana Grande, aka Cat Valentine herself, could improvise in Netflixâs YouTube series Seriously Funny Film School with Adam McKay. Her character Cat Valentine mainly took improvisational classes at Hollywood Arts High School with Mr. Sitowitz. Of course, sheâs a yes and-ing improv star! Does the quote, âOne time, I ate a hamburger and then like an hour later I started sneezing, but I donât think it had anything to do with the hamburgerâ mean nothing to him?!
When talking about Grande in his new film Donât Look Up, McKay shared that Grandeâs best improv was when she first sang the song âJust Look Up.â âSheâs the one who added all that stuff about âweâre all gonna dieâ, âturn off that shitbox newsâ. That was her riffing on the first scratch track of the melody line. The second I heard it, I was like, âOh, thatâs going in the movie,ââ said McKay on working with Grande. Grande also gushed about working with McKay, calling him âone of [her] comedy heroes.â If McKay wants to begin his Victorious journey, may I suggest this 5.5 hours long deep dive into the Nick series?
