We do not deserve Jennifer Coolidge! She stopped by The Tonight Show on Thursday (Jan. 20), where Jimmy Fallon mentioned that a handful of guests have done impressions of her on the show.

 

“Who would’ve thought?” Jennifer joked.  When Jimmy played Ariana Grande’s impression, Jennifer shared a sweet story on how Ariana revived her career , “You should know that it was the beginning of a lot of cool things that have happened to me.  I was going through a dead zone [in my career] and not much was going on, and then Ariana did this imitation on your show and you encouraged her, and then, this ball got rolling.”

Jennifer continued, “My friend, who’s her age, Theresa, she was like, ‘You know, you should DM Ariana and just say that you thought it was a good imitation.’  Then, I did it anyway and this response came back. Then, next thing you know, I was going to her house getting a wardrobe fitting for ‘Thank U, Next.’”

 

Check out this super cute TikTok Jimmy and Jennifer did.
