[@ariellesmallwood4129]

it’s such a overly dramatic song and therefore perfect for this moment LMAO

[@jacobsquare4812]

Omg I was singing along with the whole class. Such a great song.

[@iankeefer325]

Ayo definitely joined the Adam Driver, Emma Stone, etc group of hosts that make any show iconic with this skit. Similar to "Career Day" in the absolutely best possible way!

[@sharonwls5173]

Exactly! I still go back and watch the Adam driver episode. That one was hilarious as well.😂😂😂😂😂
