SNL Posts Cut 'Tall, Plain Boyfriend' Sketch With Sabrina Carpenter on TikTok

The unaired bit surfaced following Carpenter’s double-duty episode.

Overview

  • Saturday Night Live shared the cut-for-time sketch on TikTok on Thursday, several days after the Oct. 18 broadcast.
  • In the infomercial-style segment, Sabrina Carpenter pitches a "Tall, Plain Boyfriend" as an alternative to trying to date someone more performative.
  • Comedian Ben Marshall plays the featured partner, with the running gag centering on his 6'5" height, deadpan delivery, and pre-set “that sucks” reactions.
  • Carpenter hosted and performed on the episode, appearing in multiple sketches and delivering songs including “Nobody’s Son” and “Manchild.”
  • Rina Sawayama previously criticized the karate-themed staging of “Nobody’s Son” for showing shoes on tatami mats, drawing attention to cultural detail in the production.
