As he prepares for his first Trey Anastasio Band tour, saxophonist Kenneth Whalum supported Sabrina Carpenter on SNL.

Sabrina Carpenter performed “Manchild” and “Nobody’s Son” from her album "Man’s Best Friend" on "Saturday Night Live" on Oct. 18.

Doja wasn’t the only singer who premiered a live version of their new hit songs on SNL Saturday. The episode also saw the surprise television debut of Huntr/x, the fictional pop trio from Kpop Demon Hunters, brought to life by the singers who perform their songs on its soundtrack.

SNL Season 51 Episode 2 featured an unexpected guest joining the musical performance, making it a night of surprises.

The Nov. 1 show will be hosted by Miles Teller, who returns to SNL after hosting duties in October 2022. Country-Americana star Carlile is an SNL veteran: She joined the show as musical guest in October 2021, December 2022, and earlier this year, in April, alongside Elton John to promote their collaborative album.

The Grammy winner served as the singer's "Sally girl," making a surprise appearance while he performed his track "Sally, When The Wine Runs Out."

Rina Sawayama has urged creative teams to do more research on cultural references following Sabrina Carpenter's SNL set.
