Sabrina Carpenter Fans Go Wild as She Gets Goofy With Pedro Pascal for ‘SNL’ 50 With a Bum-Crash

Published 02/16/2025, 10:52 PM EST

Hollywood is a cosmic circus of genres but nothing quite dazzles like A-listers dropping the act and serving up reality—unfiltered, unscripted, and occasionally unhinged. Though a rare celestial event for professional shapeshifters, when it happens, fans enjoy the ultimate front-row seat to Tinseltown in its rawest. This year kicked off on a somber note with LA’s wildfires turning red carpets into actual flames but when showbiz hit play, Hollywood highlights were the only dish on the menu. And speaking of star-studded collisions, SNL50 had the celebrity universe in full orbit, but none more hilariously chaotic than Sabrina Carpenter and Pedro Pascal, who sent netizens into a collective meltdown.

Just when fans thought Saturday Night Live could not get more iconic, it pulled a Queen Bey and surprised them with ‘Renaissance’ over a legendary revival of the Bridesmaids Speech sketch for its 50th anniversary. As everyone grabbed the mic for a karaoke night gone rogue, Sabrina Carpenter led the bride's squad with a rousing rendition of ‘Defying Gravity,’ making even Glinda feel upstaged. But the moment that sent fans into a spiral? It was the accidental bum-crash between Carpenter and Pedro Pascal that fans do not feel staged.

Sabrina Carpenter knew one pop diva moment was not enough and summoned Taylor Swift’s ‘You Belong With Me’ for the hilarity still warming up in the pipeline. But the groomsmen were not about to let the ladies have all the fun. They stormed with an inflation-adjusted remix of ‘Espresso,’ before introducing Pedro Pascal as Matt’s ghost of the past, a wedding-crasher fling. While the whole skit was a fever dream of comedy gold, Carpenter and Pascal’s crash-landing stole the spotlight.

Sabrina Carpenter may be a pint-sized powerhouse, but the ripple effects are seismic, to say the least. Although Pedro Pascal has been serving up comedic strips like it is laughter season in Tinseltown from the Saturday Night Live 50th season celebration concert, his bum tumble with Carpenter clearly outshined the last in every aspect. Of course, it is no Marvel-stamped quip but it is no less Marvel-ous for fans either.

It might have been scripted, but all fans saw was Carpenter ad-libbing her way to capitalize on the opportunity.

Meanwhile, some folks were already prepping this for its grand entrance into the meme hall of fame, with fans collectively cheering on the palette like it just won an Oscar. In fact, Carpenter had some wishing they could trade places. But with Hollywood treating raunchy comedies like an endangered species, it seems all the leftovers were locked away for Saturday Night Live’s 50th bash for a ‘Short n’ Sweet’ comeback.
