Espresso martinis were not on order as Sabrina Carpenter joined Seth Meyers for an edition of his Late Night segment “Day Drinking.” The pair got together at New York City bar the Ripple Room to imbibe several drinks on camera—starting with a very unexpected beer, which they both attempted to chug.
Meyers kicked off the episode with a round of “Spill the Tea,” where he and Carpenter asked each other personal questions. They could either answer the question or take a “big sip” from a punch bowl filled with an enormous Long Island iced tea. Carpenter elected to drink instead of disclose who she wrote “Manchild” about while Meyers refused to tell Carpenter her worst sketch while hosting Saturday Night Live earlier this year.
After inexplicably donning red light therapy masks, Meyers asked Carpenter, “What’s the most unhinged thing you’ve ever done to impress a crush?”
“I don’t think I’ve tried to impress anyone,” she replied, acknowledging that she has too much self-respect to do so. “That’s such a boring answer. I try to be myself.” She did share that someone with a crush her once “stole an article of clothing from my house.” She added, “But did it work? No.”
Later, Meyers tasked Carpenter with reading out barista orders. When she messed up, which she repeatedly did, she had to take a drink. As the drinks started to take hold, Meyers inquired about Carpenter’s first job (playing a victim on Law & Order: SVU) and then introduced a game called “Pet Sounds,” where the duo tried to make the sounds of random animals. Carpenter failed to capture a barn owl, but nailed a raccoon fighting. At one point Carpenter quipped, “I’m usually sober when I’m working.”
Towards the end of the segment, Meyers turned to holiday-themed games, including one where the duo had to quickly unwrap Christmas gifts while wearing oven mitts. Inside the gifts? More drinks, of course. After making an incredible mess, Meyers inquired, “I don’t know, is this even a good thing to do on TV?”

Carpenter and Meyers finished the day by having her decorate him like a Christmas tree while singing Christmas carols, an activity that went surprisingly well considering their level of inebriation.
Meyers has regularly invited musicians and actors to appear on “Day Drinking” with him. Past guests have included Dua Lipa, Lorde, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Kristen Stewart, Paul Rudd, and Rihanna.
