Is Sabrina and the City the latest Sex and the City spinoff? Not quite. But it is the premise for Saturday Night Lives first teaser for pop star Sabrina Carpenters upcoming episode.
The Mans Best Friend singer, who previously appeared on the show as a musical guest, is taking on double-duty this Saturday (Oct. 18) as SNLs host and musical guest.
In a promotional video titled, And Just Like ThatSabrina Carpenter Is Hosting SNL, Carpenter turns into her own version of Carrie Bradshaw. New York is one big apple, and Im taking my bite at Saturday Night Live, the singer says in a classic Sex and the City voiceover to kick off the video. Carpenter encounters several SNL castmembers, ignoring their normal questions and answering in lines that sound like theyve been pulled from the HBO show. Thank God, its Mr. Big, she yells at one point, referencing Carries longtime Sex and the City love interest, before running over to Marcello Hernndez. Oh, hey, its actually Marcello but Ill take it, he answers.
Hernndez and Carpenter are certainly not strangers. On top of doing the weeks second promotional video together, Hernndez gained immense popularity for a character he played on the show named Domingo, who was featured in a wedding-themed parody skit set to Carpenters song Espresso. She even joined in for a follow-up sketch earlier this year, set to a song from Wicked, a nod to fellow pop star Ariana Grande, who was in the first sketch.
In the second video released ahead of the episode, Carpenter jokes that she might need to arrest someone for being too hot a nod to her song Juno, where she picks an audience member to arrest for that reason. Carpenter even arrested Hernndez, reprising his Domingo character, at an L.A. show last year. In the promo, Hernndez holds his hands out, ready to be arrested, before Carpenter picks the shows cameraman.
Carpenter follows Bad Bunny and SNL alum Amy Poehler as hosts of season 51. Miles Teller, Nikki Glaser and Glen Powell were just announced as the shows upcoming hosts; however, the full lineup of hosts and musical guests for this season hasnt been revealed.
