James Corden found a grand way to thank Late Late Show guest Jeff Goldblum last night, and tap into the latest viral hit all at once. Parodying Ariana Grande’s hit single “Thank U, Next,” Corden concocted a dead-on take-off with “Thank U, Jeff.”

Watch it above, and compare to Grande’s original below.

Grande’s tune set a YouTube record this month when it became the most-watched video in a 24-hour period following its debut, snaring more than 46 million views in just 22 hours, edging out the previous record holder, Bts’ “Idol.”

“Thank U, Next” features lyrics on Grande’s played-in-public romantic life, and had guest stars Jonathan Bennett, Stefanie Drummond, Kris Jenner, Jennifer Coolidge, Troye Sivan and YouTube stars Colleen Ballinger and Gabi DeMartino.

Songstress Ariana Grande has established a new YouTube record for most-watched video in a 24-hour period following a debut.

Grande’s hit, Thank U, Next, topped previous record holders and K-pop superstars Bts’s Idol. Released at 12 noon Pacific time on Friday, Thank U, Next has now passed 46 million viewers, edging Bts’s 45.9 million total in just under 22 hours. The Bts record was set in August, eclipsing Taylor Swift’s Look What You Made Me Do.

The Grande video, which combines lyrics on her tumultuous romantic life with visuals reminiscent of early 2000 female-driven films, had 829,000 viewers watching simultaneously at its peak, generating 516,000 chat messages during its debut stages, the latter also a record. The flood of comments was so overwhelming that YouTube experienced a delay in posting them.

Sorry Ariana Grande, there’s only one original Cady Heron according to Mean Girls star Lindsay Lohan.

On Tuesday, the 32-year-old actress broke her silence about Grande’s “Thank U, Next” music video, which features the powerhouse singer and friends parodying a series of iconic teen romantic comedies, including Mean Girls.

Hours earlier, a trailer for Grande’s video was released, featuring a sea of stars (including Mean Girls alums Jonathan Bennett and Stefanie Drummond) parodying the iconic “Who is Regina George?” scene from the Tina Fey’s 2004 film. In the lead-up to that clip, Grande had also shared several...
