Watch Sabrina Carpenter Channel (a Slightly More Delusional) Carrie Bradshaw in ‘SNL’ Promo
And just like that, Sabrina Carpenter is making her Saturday Night Live hosting debut in just a few days.
And ahead of the episode helmed by the pop star, Carpenter stars in a hilarious promo video posted Wednesday (Oct. 15), in which she channels Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw. With her hair in bouncy curls that rival Sarah Jessica Parker’s in the iconic TV show, the singer struts through 30 Rock while smiling at her own inner monologue.
“New York is one big apple, and I’m taking my bite at Saturday Night Live,” she says in a voice-over before sitting down to “type” on a computer that isn’t even turned on: “The woman wondered what she had gotten herself into. Having won over the cast and crew …”
While walking through the halls of the studio, she spots Marcello Hernandez. “Thank God, it’s Mr. Big!” she cheers as the confused cast member says, “Hey, uh, it’s actually Marcello … but I’ll take it.”
Carpenter’s hosting debut will premiere this Saturday (Oct. 18). The Grammy winner will also serve as musical guest on the episode.
And while she’s never helmed an episode of SNL before, Carpenter is no stranger to the show. After making her debut as a musical guest on the program in May 2024, she took part in SNL‘s 50th anniversary celebrations, singing “Homeward Bound” with Paul Simon for SNL50: The Anniversary Special and appearing in a viral “Domingo” sketch with Pedro Pascal.
