## Summary

Ariana Grande appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” with her “Focker In-Law” co-stars Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller. It was her first public appearance in months, after she said she would step back from public-facing work because of ongoing scrutiny.

The trio joined Fallon for a festive song, a game and a mock soap-opera sketch, then spoke about meeting and admiring one another. Grande’s representatives said in August that she planned a break after the “Eternal Sunshine” tour. The announcement followed intense online discussion of her appearance after the “Petal” video; she also withdrew from a planned West End production of “Sunday in the Park With George”, which was later cancelled.
