Sabrina Carpenter 'arrests' Domingo from 'Saturday Night Live' at concert in Los Angeles
Two worlds collided on Sunday as an "SNL" star made a guest appearance at Sabrina Carpenter's Short n' Sweet Tour.
Carpenter brought out Marcello Hernandez, known for playing the character Domingo on "Saturday Night Live," during her concert at Kia Forum in Inglewood, California on Sunday night. Hernandez's appearance was part of a Short n' Sweet Tour tradition, where Carpenter "arrests" a guest who is "too hot" before performing her song, "Juno."
The venue erupted when Hernandez called out, "Sabrina, I'm here! My name is ... Domingo," between songs. As in character for "SNL," Hernandez sported a dark blue suit and fake goatee. The elaborate stage behind Carpenter began to glow in red and blue lights, imitating police sirens, as she addressed him.
Watch: Domingo 'arrested' by Sabrina Carpenter
"Is there anything you want to say before I arrest you, Domingo?" Carpenter asked on stage.
"Came all this way, had to explain, direct from Domingo," Hernandez sang to the tune of Carpenter's hit single, "Espresso." "Sabrina's a friend. She's like my sis, but I would hook up though."
What 'SNL' skit is Domingo from?
Hernandez' response was a reference to Domingo's first SNL appearance on Oct. 12.
In the skit, Hernandez parodies "Espresso" alongside Ariana Grande, Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim and Sarah Sherman. The women play as bridesmaids to their friend, played by Chloe Fineman. During the wedding party, the bridesmaids cover − quite off key − the song, sharing a story about how their friend met up and fell in love with a man named Domingo during her bachelorette trip. Toward the end of the skit, Domingo appears and confesses the story to the groom.
According to Billboard, Carpenter approved of the parody, sharing the video to her Instagram story with the caption, "Vice nice and on pitch." Grande replied, "tysm (thank you so much) we tried."
Domingo made a recent appearance on "Saturday Night Live" in a similar skit featuring Gardner, Nwodim, Sherman and musical guest Charli XCX.
The Domingo sequel is set at a baby shower at which the women cover Chappell Roan's "HOT TO GO," sharing a story about how the mother to be, Fineman, met up with Domingo once again.
Carpenter has routinely featured familiar faces during her Short n' Sweet Tour. On Friday night, she brought out Christina Aguilera during her show at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. And previously, she called out Millie Bobby Brown at her Atlanta gig before performing "Juno."
