Ariana Grande says ‘Wicked’ movie prop looks like Epcot’s Figment

Figment’s story and Ariana Grande’s backstory explained

Below is the full transcript of Figment’s moment during Las Culturistas’ Top 400 list, including Ariana Grande’s description comparing the “Wicked” set piece to Figment.

“Number 125: Figment the Dragon by Disney.”

Matt Rogers: “Did you know that there’s a character, the most famous Disney character, that you don’t even know about, and that’s Figment? They made Figment popcorn buckets. They were sold out.”

Bowen Yang: “He’s a dragon. I’m going to reveal another behind-the-scenes moment from Wicked. There was a large portrait of the magician on the Shiz University campus, perhaps by Jeff Goldblum. Ari keeps saying, ‘This is Figment.'”

Rogers: “Ari is so Disney-coded. “Ari is Disney World coded.”

Yang: “She just came back from Halloween Horror Nights.”

Rogers: “You’re kidding. Without us?”

Yang: “I literally thought Matt would die to go with you.”

Rogers: “I can’t even talk about it.”

Yang: “This girl is Disney. She says, “This is Figment.” Her reference is Figment?!”

Rogers: “You’re referring to Figment?! No, that’s my cousin. Ariana is my cousin.”

Yang: “It’s crazy.”

Rogers: “Ariana is my cousin.”

Yang: “She’s everyone’s cousin.”
