‘Saturday Night Live’ Airs Sabrina Carpenter’s Uncensored F-Bombs

Sabrina Carpenter made headlines during her recent appearance on Saturday Night Live (SNL). The singer and actress not only hosted but also performed, showcasing her talent in a memorable way. However, the performance took a surprising turn with two uncensored F-bombs being aired.

Uncensored F-Bombs on Live Television

Carpenter performed her song “Nobody’s Son” from her latest album, Man’s Best Friend. During the live broadcast, she exclaimed, “He sure f*cked me up,” not just once, but twice. This unexpected moment aired on NBC’s East Coast feed and Peacock’s simulcast.

Potential Consequences for NBC

The incident raises questions about possible repercussions for NBC from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). It remains uncertain whether the network will face a fine or other penalties. As of now, El-Balad has reached out for comment, but no response has been received.

Adjustment for Future Airings

According to insiders, the episode was modified for the West Coast viewing and all future broadcasts. The explicit language has since been removed from the performance available on Peacock and YouTube.

Viewer Reactions

• Fans reacted positively on social media. One fan tweeted, “Sabrina saying f*ck TWICE on live national television is the most Sabrina Carpenter thing ever she dgaf im crying.”
• Another user humorously noted, “Never leave Sabrina Carpenter unsupervised she’s gonna drop the f bomb on national television.”
• A third user referenced a previous SNL incident, stating, “Sabrina Carpenter said f*ck on SNL justice for Jenny Slate.”

Carpenter’s SNL Stint

This marks Carpenter’s third appearance on SNL. Along with hosting duties, she also performed her song “Manchild” during the show. The karate-themed performance added an exciting visual element to her musical numbers.

A History of Controversy

Last season, SNL faced scrutiny when Ego Nwodim’s bit resulted in expletives from the audience. However, that incident avoided an FCC investigation due to the time slot and the West Coast delay allowing for censorship.

Ultimately, Carpenter’s edgy moment on SNL has sparked conversations about censorship and live television, while showcasing her bold personality.
