\n\tSabrina Carpenter<\/a>\u2018s Saturday Night Live<\/a> hosting debut kicked off with a fun callback to none other than the viral Domingo skit<\/a> \u2014 with a modern pop twist.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cManchild\u201d singer returned<\/a> to the late night show on Saturday, where she doubled up as the night\u2019s host and musical guest. The cold open kicked off with another homecoming of Chloe Fineman<\/a>\u2018s Kelsey character and her group of best friends, including Carpenter.<\/p>\n

\n\tTrue to the original skit, Kelsey\u2019s girl squad recounted their Nashville night out in front of her husband Matt (Andrew Dismukes) in full song form, set to the tune of some of the most popular modern tracks. They recalled their festivities by singing along to the backtrack of Taylor Swift\u2019s \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia\u201d and Lady Gaga\u2019s \u201cAbracadabra,\u201d before Marcello Hern\u00e1ndez<\/a>\u2018s beloved Domingo character made his grand entrance (and return) to profess his love to Fineman\u2019s Kelsey, set to Alex Warren\u2019s track \u201cOrdinary.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe original Domingo skit instantly went viral, originally featuring Carpenter\u2019s \u201cEspresso\u201d as Kelsey\u2019s bridesmaids confessed that she had cheated on her husband-to-be with Domingo. The Grammy winner wasn\u2019t actually featured in the original bit, though fellow pop star Ariana Grande was. (Carpenter did star in the SNL<\/a> 50 Domingo sequel<\/a>, though.)<\/p>\n

\n\tLater in Carpenter\u2019s opening monologue, she lightly addressed the controversy<\/a> surrounding the cover art for her latest album, Man\u2019s Best Friend<\/a>. Pointing back to her last appearance on the show during SNL 50, she noted that \u201csince then, my new album Man\u2019s Best Friend came out, which I\u2019m so excited about. But some people got a little freaked out by the cover.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m not sure why. It was just this: me on all fours with an unseen figure pulling my hair. But what people don\u2019t realize is, that\u2019s just how they cropped it. If you zoom out, it\u2019s clearly a picture from the 50th anniversary special of Bowen helping me up by the hair,\u201d she said, as the shot of the album cover zoomed out, continuing, \u201cAfter Martin Short shoved me out of the buffet line.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cBed Chem\u201d singer used the rest of her monologue to \u201cclear up some misconceptions<\/a> people have about me,\u201d joking that \u201ceveryone thinks of me as this horndog pop star, but there\u2019s really so much more to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m not just horny, I\u2019m also turned on, and I\u2019m sexually charged. And I love to read. My favorite book is the encyclopedia. It\u2019s so big and it\u2019s hard\u2026\u201d she said, before continuing, \u201cThere is a real person underneath all the sparkles and the wigs and the corsets, and another thing you might not know about me is that I love to interact with the audience during my show, so I\u2019d like to do that right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe went on to touch base with a few audience members before returning to the stage, where she continued another one of her concert traditions: \u201cThe last fun thing I like to do at my concerts is arrest someone for being hot. So, who here can I arrest tonight?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKenan Thompson then hit the stage, where he joked that he was arresting the singer \u201cfor falsely impersonating an officer 200 times at your concerts. And you\u2019re arresting innocent hot people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSaturday night marked Carpenter\u2019s first SNL hosting gig, while it was the second time she served as the night\u2019s musical guest. She, too, notably performed a rendition of Simon & Garfunkel\u2019s \u201cHomeward Bound\u201d alongside Paul Simon at the 50th anniversary special<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tAhead of the show, Bowen Yang took to his Instagram Stories to note that he was missing the taping. The Wicked star skipped episode three to attend the 2025 Academy Museum Gala<\/a>, where he was honored with the Vantage Award.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cEspresso\u201d singer served as the third overall host of season 51, following in the footsteps of Bad Bunny<\/a> and Amy Poehler<\/a>. Earlier this week, the next wave of SNL guests<\/a> were announced. Miles Teller will host on Nov. 1, while Nikki Glaser and Glen Powell are set to make their hosting debuts on the Nov. 8 and Nov. 15 shows, respectively. <\/p>\n

\n\tLast Saturday\u2019s show was full of star-studded cameos, as former cast member Poehler brought back fellow SNL alumni Tina Fey and Seth Meyers<\/a> throughout the episode. Fey also made a cameo to impersonate Kristi Noem in the cold open, while Poehler portrayed Pam Bondi. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sabrina Carpenter\u2018s Saturday Night Live hosting debut kicked off with a fun callback to none other than the…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":315829,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[104358,171,104360,975,15160,1747,1933,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-315828","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-chloe-fineman","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-marcello-hernu00e1ndez","11":"tag-music","12":"tag-sabrina-carpenter","13":"tag-saturday-night-live","14":"tag-snl","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115400505421236488","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=315828"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315828\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/315829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=315828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=315828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=315828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
