It’s Christmas Eve. >> That’s when people want eggnog at the airport the most, honey. >> Oh, I know. I wish you were home. But I’m so proud of you. All the eggnog you’ve made over the years. >> Some of it was great. Some of it was rotten >> and a lot of it got cut. But, you know, I also think Eggnox’s kind of like me. It’s not for everyone, but the people who like it are my kind of people. [cheering] [applause] >> Plus, you’re way more fun with bourbon. >> Oh, I miss you, Ed. Please come home. I’ll be there soon, sweetie. Bells will be ringing. The sad [singing] sad news. Oh, what a Christmas [singing] to have the blues. My baby’s gone.

Um and uh good luck. I’m going to miss you. >> I’ll miss you too, Kenan Thompson. >> Thank you. >> At one point, the podcast host began to cry alongside Grande as he reflected on how lucky he was to have worked there. We’ll find [music and singing] you home. There’ll be no more sorrow, [singing] no grief and pain. >> And now I’ll be happy. [singing and music] Happy once again. >> Oh Rhonda, I should have come home earlier. I just feel so lucky that I ever got to work here and I just wanted to enjoy it for a little bit longer. The duo were then joined by Sher, Yang’s boss in the sketch, for the final minute. >> Especially the people. I’ve loved every single person who works here because they’ve done so much for me. Especially [music] my boss. >> Oh, your boss. >> There she is. [cheering] >> It’s the CEO of Eggnog at Delta. Man, what an honor. >> Ma’am, I just wanted [music] to say it’s been an honor working for you and any success I have after this will be thanks to [music] this place. Before I go, do you have any feedback for me? >> Well, everyone thought you were a little bit too gay. [laughter] >> Do you know what? You’re perfect for me. [applause and cheering] This place will always be home, but that’s time to go. Ooh, there’ll be no more sorrow, [snorts] no grief and pain. And I’ll be happy happy.
