Sabrina Carpenter made her return to Saturday Night Live this weekend amid the 2025 TV schedule, and she certainly made an impression as both the host and musical guest. Carpenter participated in some excellent sketches and performed some of her hit songs live.

The pop star’s Saturday Night Live appearance played into her reputation as a provocateur.

Sabrina Carpenter shines in her SNL hosting debut, bringing back Domingo, leading a pre-teen boy podcast, selling an inadvertently x-rated sleep pillow, and showing how to be a girl boss through adversity.

Sabrina Carpenter was both host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live on October 18. During her appearance on the show, she appeared in a skit with a streaky black and white hair look. She also donned a brunette wig during the show.
