Saturday Night Live host Quinta Brunson sang about what it’s like being under five feet tall–something that Sabrina Carpenter popped in to say she could relate to.
The Abbott Elementary creator and star, who last hosted SNL in April 2023, prefaced her showtune: “I’m proof you can do anything you put your mind to, even if people look down on you, whether it’s because of where you come from or literally because you’re only 4′11.”
Brunson then sang about how some experiences at her height unintentionally turn out well.
“I went for a walk in the park the other day, and didn’t even realize I had won a limbo competition,” Brunson revealed.
After comparing herself to the 4’8″ Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Simone Biles, the 5’5″ rapper Kendrick Lamar, and the 5’7″ actor Tom Holland, Carpenter sidled up to her.
Brunson asked: “One shorty to another: When you eat short ribs, does it just taste like ribs?”
“I’ve never thought about it like that, but yeah!” Carpenter replied. “Here’s a question for you: When you read short stories, do they feel like novels?”
The two traded off lines until 5’6″ SNL cast member Marcello Hernandez joined in, followed by former NBA star Dwayne Wade, who towered over them all at 6’4″.
Yet being that height in the league, Wade said, made it seem like he was 4’10”.
“I feel seen,” he said earnestly in response to their song.
The four of them–with background dancers in tow–completed the number.
