Sabrina Carpenter is set to make her Saturday Night Live debut as both the host and musical guest on the October 18 episode. Ahead of the highly anticipated show, SNL has released a teaser that showcases Carpenter’s charming flair as she channels the iconic character Carrie Bradshaw, famously portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City.
In the teaser released on October 15, Carpenter confidently declares, “New York is one big apple, and I’m taking my bite at Saturday Night Live,” while strutting through the backstage hallways of the iconic 30 Rock studio. Humorously interacting with SNL writers and cast members, she showcases her comedic talent, even joking about her height in heels, quipping, “In these heels? Probably, like, 5’4”.
The playful nods to her recent SNL experiences continue as she mistakenly identifies cast member Marcello Hernandez—who she playfully “arrested” during a concert last fall—as Carrie’s legendary love interest, Mr. Big. Screaming in delight, “Oh, thank God! It’s Mr. Big!” she finishes off a cosmopolitan before he mischievously corrects her and takes the glass.
Carpenter’s return to SNL is expected to bring a delightful and comedic energy to the episode, as she seamlessly blends her musical talent with her acting chops. Fans eagerly await what promises to be a memorable evening filled with laughter and great performances.
