Sabrina Carpenter Charms, Jokes, and Flirts in Playful ‘SNL’ Promo Ahead of Hosting Debut

Sabrina Carpenter may be pulling double duty as both host and musical guest on this week’s Saturday Night Live, but that didn’t stop her from sneaking in a few lighthearted promo moments ahead of the big night.

In the new teaser clip, Carpenter joins cast member Marcello Hernández for a series of hilarious skits that perfectly capture her trademark mix of humor and charm. The two offer a pep talk to viewers who might be tuning in while doing the dishes, exchange flirty banter with the camera operator, and share an unexpectedly bizarre confession about their greatest fear.

When asked what truly terrifies her about hosting SNL, Carpenter quickly sets the record straight — she’s not scared of performing live, but rather something far stranger.
“My dentist grows a really long beard and it tickles my chest,” she admits — perfectly synchronized with Hernández, who repeats the same line word for word.

Awkward? Definitely. Hilarious? Absolutely.

With her quick wit, magnetic stage presence, and playful confidence, Sabrina Carpenter’s SNL debut is shaping up to be one of the season’s most anticipated episodes.
