Sabrina Carpenter spoofs Sex and the City in SNL promo ahead of hosting and musical guest debut

Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter is stepping into a new role this weekend as both host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live. In a newly released promo for the upcoming episode, Carpenter spoofs the iconic HBO series Sex and the City, embracing the role of a quirky, cosmopolitan-loving New Yorker.

The sketch, titled Sabrina and the City, reimagines Carpenter as a Carrie Bradshaw-type character, complete with a signature cosmopolitan cocktail in hand and romantic banter with cast member Marcello Hernandez, who plays her version of “Mr. Big.” The parody captures the playful spirit of the original series while highlighting Carpenter's comedic flair ahead of her double-duty appearance on the long-running NBC variety show.

The promo, released by NBC, sets the tone for the episode airing this Saturday at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT on NBC and streaming live on Peacock. It marks Carpenter’s SNL hosting debut, following a year of growing success in both music and pop culture.

Carpenter joins a select group of artists who have pulled double duty on SNL, performing as both the musical guest and host. Her appearance follows the viral success of her hit singles like “Espresso” and a string of high-profile performances, solidifying her status as one of pop’s rising stars.

The spoof draws on Carpenter’s own charm and comedic timing, giving fans a glimpse of what to expect during her episode. With a loyal fan base and a knack for reinvention, her SNL stint is poised to be a memorable one.

Saturday Night Live continues its tradition of spotlighting multi-talented artists, and with Sabrina Carpenter at the helm this week, audiences can expect music, laughs, and a stylish nod to a beloved TV classic.
