On October 18, 2025, the long-running comedy sketch series Saturday Night Live aired the third episode of its 51st season, with singer Sabrina Carpenter serving as both host and musical guest. The episode was not without its share of technical difficulties and controversial moments.
One of the highlights of the show was Carpenter's monologue, where she playfully addressed the backlash she received over the cover art of her latest album, "Man's Best Friend." However, the monologue appeared to have been cut short due to a delay caused by a college football game.
Carpenter also featured in a reprised "Domingo" sketch, which has been a recurring segment on the show. The sketch, which follows the antics of a group of friends, has received mixed reviews from viewers, with some calling for it to be retired.
