Quinta Brunson kicked off her second Saturday Night Live hosting gig with a musical monologue that quickly turned into a star-studded celebration of “shorties.” The Abbott Elementary creator, standing at 4’11”, humorously sang about the perks of being petite-like getting tipsy from a single glass of wine and being mistaken for a kid on her own show
Mid-song, pop star Sabrina Carpenter made an unannounced entrance, joining Brunson to trade witty banter about their shared stature. The duo joked about short ribs and short stories, riffing on the everyday realities of being vertically challenged. “When you eat short ribs, does it just taste like ribs?” Brunson asked. “I never thought about it like that but, yeah!” Carpenter replied, keeping the laughs coming
The segment didn’t stop there-SNL cast member Marcello Hernández and NBA legend Dwyane Wade also joined the fun, with Wade joking that at 6’4” in the basketball world, he still feels short. The group’s playful performance closed out with a lively musical number, making it one of the night’s most memorable moments
