Sabrina Carpenter

[PGage]

My social media pages are full of 20 and even 30 something things cooing Over how much they enjoyed last weekend Saturday Night Live episode; Meanwhile, I had to Google Sabrina Carpenter, and then ask my copilot assistant to tell me who she was and to explain most of the monologue and some of the sketches, And both of her songs. I’m not critical of her. She was a perfectly likable young lady, And of course, the point of SNL is to make old people feel like they don’t understand young people, but that the show does understand young people. It’s just interesting to me that I’m way past saying to myself “SNL is not as funny as they used to be” And I’m more like “Can somebody please translate this into English for me?”

I found her to be entirely pleasant and affable on Girl Meets World. Her voice is standard modern pop vocal... not bad, but not exemplary. But she has risen in popularity, so much so that frankly SNL seems beneath her.

I only know her from SNL and she fits the vibe of the show. I didn’t know she was part of the Disney child star stable. That explains why she can look natural while doing sketches. I see her on the show as Justin Timberlake once was, showing up often to host, perform, and do cameos.

Oh, she has been on the show before, besides just said singing with Paul Simon at 50th anniversary? I guess I miss or don’t remember that. At first, I thought she was that young woman. I’m not sure how to describe her except for they made a lot of jokes about her having big boobs and I think she had been in one of the HBO shows maybe euphoria or that kind of resort hotel show but then I realize that that other woman and I don’t think is a singer, While carpenter is. The analogy to Timberlake is pretty good, although while I’m too old to even really be in the demo for him, he was on my radar from an early age because my daughters were right in the *NSYNC target demo and I early on could tell that of the five of them Justin was the one that had the actual talent. So I enjoy Timberlake on SNL in a way that I can only surmise from the reactions of others better equipped to judge that carpenter is similarly talented.

I believe you're thinking of Sydney Sweeney, who starred in Euphoria and has hosted SNL.

Sabrina Carpenter has been the musical guest, but Saturday was her first time as host.  She did appear in the 50th anniversary special, which may have been mentioned already.  She also sang with Quinta Brunson when the Abbott Elementary star did her SNL monologue.

She also did a Christmas special for one of the streamers.

Carpenter has recurred in the other versions of the “Domingo” sketch (the original included a riff on her song “Espresso”). Marcello has returned the favor by appearing as Domingo at one of her concerts.
