Jake Gyllenhaal will host SNL with Taylor Swift’s best friend, Sabrina Carpenter. That sounds so weird.
If there’s one thing about Taylor Swift fans, it’s that they sometimes hold grudges longer than Taylor herself.
A great example is the long-running beef that Swifties I have with Jake Gyllenhaal. He may not be Public Enemy #1, but many don’t see him as a “friend.”
You know who It is Taylor’s friend? Sabrina Carpenter, who is touring with Taylor all over the world. And very soon she will appear on the SNL alongside Gyllenhaal. Oops?
Sabrina Carpenter and Jake Gyllenhaal to headline ‘Saturday Night Live’ on May 18
On May 11th, Maya Rudolph will return to Saturday night live as host.
The accompanying musical act (always a hit or miss category) will be Vampire Weekend.
The following week, May 18, Jake Gyllenhaal will host. Sabrina Carpenter will be the musical performance. As an actress, it seems likely that she will appear in one or more sketches, as past musical guests have done.
This will be Jake Gyllenhaal’s third time hosting ‘SNL’
Previously, the actor hosted an episode in 2007. At the time, the musical guest was the Shins.
In 2022, he hosted the sketch comedy show again. This time, the musical guest was Camila Cabello.
Despite his decades of acting, Gyllenhaal has some interesting recent projects that make the hosting gig a sensible promotional choice.
Recently, Jake Gyllenhaal starred Road house for Amazon Prime. It was actually a remake of a 1989 Patrick Swayze film of the same name.
Additionally, Gyllenhaal appears and executive produces Presumed innocent on AppleTV+. This legal thriller premieres on June 12th.
If fans know him for Donnie Darko, Brokeback Mountainor as an interesting version of Mysterio for Sony and the MCU Spider-Man: Far From HomeHe is one of the most recognized actors across multiple age demographics.
This will be Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘SNL’ debut
Sabrina Carpenter first rose to fame acting in roles such as Girl knows the World. However, she is now best known as a musician.
She recently released the single, Espresso. This was his first track in the Billboard Top 10.
Sabrina’s personal relationships have also attracted attention. She is falling in love Eternals It is Salt burn star Barry Keoghan and is very good friends with Taylor Swift.
Of course, it will be interesting to see if Saturday night live capitalizes on the inherent awkwardness of one of Taylor’s best friends dating one of her ex-boyfriends.
Maybe they’re normal about it. But we can more or less guarantee that Taylor’s fans won’t.
Even though, as we said, Gyllenhaal isn’t Public Enemy No. 1. That title belongs to someone else – maybe Joe Alwyn or Matty Healy, or maybe Kim Kardashian or Kanye West. Make your choice.
