**New York, NY** – Quinta Brunson, creator and star of the hit sitcom *Abbott Elementary*, returned to host *Saturday Night Live* for the second time, making light of her height in a memorable monologue. The episode, featuring musical guest Benson Boone, included a surprise appearance by Sabrina Carpenter and a comedic exploration of height differences.
Brunson’s monologue playfully embraced her 4’11” stature, launching into a song celebrating short people and referencing notable “shorties” like Simone Biles and Kendrick Lamar. Carpenter’s surprise cameo added to the comedic bit, engaging in a series of height-related jokes with Brunson and fellow cast member Marcello Hernandez. Former NBA star Dwyane Wade even joined the fun, adding another layer to the unexpectedly heartwarming segment.
The show’s cold open satirized Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office, featuring James Austin Johnson as Trump and Mikey Day as Stephen Miller. The sketch poked fun at various executive orders, including a humorous “Belichick Law” referencing Bill Belichick’s controversial CBS Sunday Morning interview and his girlfriend.
Brunson’s hosting gig marked the Grammy nominee’s first appearance on *SNL* since April 2023 and one of the final episodes of the show’s 50th season. Next week’s episode will feature Walton Goggins as host and Arcade Fire as the musical guest, with Scarlett Johansson and Bad Bunny closing out the season on May 17th.
