Jake Gyllenhaal & Bowen Yang Are Loving Sabrina Carpenter’s New Song in ‘SNL’ Promo
Isn’t SNL sweet? I guess so!
Sabrina Carpenter appears in a brand new Saturday Night Live promo alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and Bowen Yang ahead of this weekend’s (May 18) episode of the iconic sketch comedy series. In the clip, Yang excitedly tells Carpenter that he loves her new song, presumably her recently released viral hit “Espresso.” However, when the comedian starts singing a song about board shorts, Carpenter steps in to say, “That’s not my song, I don’t think.”
However, when Gyllenhaal also starts singing the song about “Board Shorts Summer,” Carpenter soon gets on board with the hit.
Elsewhere in the promo, Gyllenhaal asks Carpenter where her last name came from. “It comes out of the woodwork,” the 25-year-old singer continued the pun reluctantly.
Carpenter — who’s fresh off of scoring her first-ever Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit with “Espresso” — will bring her Eras Tour- and Coachella-tested performance skills to 30 Rock to serve as the musical guest for the upcoming episode. Gyllenhaal, meanwhile, is hosting for his third time.
Watch the promo below, and catch Gyllenhaal’s full episode of Saturday Night Live this weekend (May 4) at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC, before it begins streaming on Peacock.
