And just like that\u2026 Sabrina Carpenter is back in 30 Rock. The Grammy-winning pop star, fresh off debuting her latest album, Man\u2019s Best Friend<\/a>, will pull double duty on tomorrow night\u2019s episode of Saturday Night Live as both host and musical guest.<\/p>\n

If Carpenter\u2019s SNL promos are any indication, the 26-year-old pop star is ready to showcase her charm and comedic chops. Ahead of Saturday\u2019s episode, the \u201cManchild\u201d singer stepped into iconic fictional New Yorker Carrie Bradshaw\u2019s Manolo Blahniks, in a midweek sketch appropriately titled, Sabrina in the City. Carpenter, of course, was parodying the beloved Big Apple-set sitcom, Sex in the City, which ran from 1998 to 2004, and famously starred Sarah Jessica Parker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSabrina, what are you up to?\u201d asks new cast member Tommy Brennan, to which Carpenter responds, \u201cIn these heels? Probably, like, five four.\u201d Carpenter then greets Marcello Hernandez as \u201cMr. Big,\u201d before handing him her Cosmopolitan and walking off unbothered. Later, Carpenter walks into an office, where she sits down at a table and begins to write. In typical Bradshaw fashion, Carpenter narrates her inner thoughts as she types.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe woman wondered what she\u2019d gotten herself into,\u201d Carpenter says, while typing on a laptop that isn\u2019t actually turned on.<\/p>\n

Another recent SNL promo even has some fans \u201cshipping\u201d Carpenter and Hernandez. Ahead of her episode, the \u201cNobody\u2019s Son\u201d pop star recorded a promo clip with the 28-year-old comedian, who thinks Carpenter\u2019s going to \u201carrest him\u201d<\/a> come Saturday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cHi, I\u2019m Sabrina Carpenter, and I\u2019ll be the host and musical guest this week on SNL, and I think I might need to arrest someone for being too hot,\u201d she teases. Hernandez, holding out his wrists ready for cuffing, replies, \u201cOh, well, I turn myself in.\u201d Carpenter looks past the camera, ignoring Hernandez, and says, \u201cYou\u2019re under arrest, cameraman!\u201d<\/p>\n

Carpenter and Hernandez teamed up for a third promo, in which they lip-synch to a TikTok mash-up of \u201cWhat\u2019s Up?\u201d by 4 Non Blondes and \u201cBeez in the Trap\u201d by Nicki Minaj.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t Carpenter\u2019s first time on the NBC late-night sketch show. The \u201cNobody\u2019s Son\u201d hitmaker has made appearances twice before: First as a musical guest for the Season 49 finale in 2024, and again as a performer during SNL50: The Anniversary Special this past February. Tomorrow night will mark Carpenter\u2019s first time taking on hosting duties.<\/p>\n
