Overview

• NBC released fresh spots this week confirming Carpenter will both host and perform on Saturday Night Live’s Oct. 18 episode.
• A new Oct. 17 promo pairs Carpenter with Marcello Hernandez for bits about their shared “greatest fear,” a pep talk to viewers doing dishes, and a playful nod to her on‑tour “arrest the cameraman” gag.
• An Oct. 15 teaser titled “Sabrina in the City” channels Carrie Bradshaw as Carpenter narrates a walk through Studio 8H, sips a Cosmopolitan, calls Hernandez “Mr. Big,” and pretends to type on a laptop that isn’t on.
• This marks Carpenter’s first time hosting after performing as musical guest in May 2024 and appearing on the SNL50 special, where she duetted with Paul Simon and joined a new Domingo sketch.
• The promos tap her ongoing crossover with Hernandez’s Domingo character, which previously parodied “Espresso” on SNL and made a cameo at one of her concerts; the episode airs live on NBC at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT and streams on Peacock.
