Jennifer Coolidge says Ariana Grande's impression of her pulled her out of a career "dead zone"

People

On The Tonight Show, Coolidge recounted Grande's 2018 impression of her and explained how it led to a cameo in Grande's "thank u, next" music video. "You should know that it was sort of the beginning of a lot of cool things that happened for me because — I don't know — I was going through a dead zone," Coolidge said. "Not much was going on, and then Ariana did this imitation on your show, and you encouraged her, and then this ball got rolling."
