\n\tSaturday Night Live<\/a> host Ariana Grande<\/a> took on the role of Home Alone<\/a>\u2018s Kevin McCallister, who welcomes his family back after their time apart\u2014but forgets to disarm all the traps he has set for the wet bandits.<\/p>\n

\n\tKevin, in short blonde hair, is woken up on Christmas morning by his overtired mother (Ashley Padilla), who apologizes, adding that the rest of the family couldn\u2019t be there. Except at that moment, they all show up, having taken the morning flight. But amid the flurry of familiar faces, the eight-year-old doesn\u2019t warn them in time to tread carefully around the mansion. <\/p>\n

\n\tFirst, his father (Mikey Day) opens the closet door to hang up his coat. A blowtorch ignites his head.<\/p>\n

\n\tRecoiling in horror, his brother (Jeremy Culhane) loses his balance on some toy cars and falls face-first into the sharp corner of their grand piano.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen Kevin\u2019s sister (Sarah Sherman) uses the fire extinguisher on her father, that only makes things worse; Kevin had replaced its contents with kerosene.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnother brother (Tommy Brennan) rushes to the kitchen to get water, but that attempt is foiled as well, as a trip wire activates a poison dart gun. <\/p>\n

\n\tThen, Kevin\u2019s sister slips on marbles into a laundry shute. She falls right into the home furnace.<\/p>\n

\n\tBrother Fuller (Bowen Yang) isn\u2019t immune, either. When Buzz (Colin Jost) picks up the phone to call for help, that sets a chainsaw swinging from the ceiling, cutting off both his arms.<\/p>\n

\n\tA full can of paint comes for Buzz next. He avoids it, and thinks he\u2019s in the clear. But the can hits a switch on the wall which sets a running metal fan in free fall on top of him. <\/p>\n

\n\tThen, when the McCallisters\u2019 elderly neighbor (Andrew Dismukes) stops in say he has reconciled with his son, the chainsaw puts an end to him.<\/p>\n

\n\tAt this point, Kevin\u2019s mother comes to; she and Kevin are still alone in the foyer.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSorry, I\u2019ve just been awake for a really long time,\u201d she says. \u201cMerry Christmas, Kevin.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAnd a happy new year!\u201d their neighbor adds, prompting them to scream. He too freaks out, and hits them both with his shovel.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs he backs out of their house, he says under his breath: \u201cI\u2019ve killed again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Saturday Night Live host Ariana Grande took on the role of Home Alone\u2018s Kevin McCallister, who welcomes his…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":462163,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[179,171,183078,63863,1747,1933,173,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-462162","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-ariana-grande","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-home-alone","11":"tag-late-night-tv","12":"tag-saturday-night-live","13":"tag-snl","14":"tag-tv","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115757537451874861","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=462162"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462162\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/462163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=462162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=462162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=462162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
