Watch Sabrina Carpenter Surprise and Shine in Quinta Brunson's Hilarious SNL Musical Monologue – Featuring Tom Holland and Kendrick Lamar!

Quinta Brunson, the talented creator and star of “Abbott Elementary,” proudly embraces her height. During her second stint hosting “Saturday Night Live” on May 3, she gave a lively opening monologue in song, celebrating the fun of being short. “Shorties, tonight, this one’s for us,” she declared, humorously highlighting perks like enjoying one glass of wine or rocking crop tops as dresses.

In her performance, Brunson honored other notable short figures, including 4’8” Olympian Simone Biles, 5’7” actor Tom Holland, and the rapper Kendrick Lamar, who stands at 5’5”. Joined by singer Sabrina Carpenter, the two comedians shared laughs about their shared experiences. Carpenter quipped, “When you eat short rib, does it just taste like rib?”

They also playfully recognized Jeremy Allen White from “The Bear,” who is also 5’7”. Their main message? Life is more enjoyable when you’re “fun-sized.”

Although he didn’t participate in the musical number, singer Benson Boone was the episode’s musical guest. Recently, he made headlines with his standout performance at Coachella.

Both Boone and Carpenter received nominations for Best New Artist at the 2025 Grammys, although the award went to Chappell Roan.

What makes Brunson’s approach so refreshing? She shifts the conversation about height, turning what could be seen as a limitation into a celebration. Research shows that highlighting positive aspects of perceived disadvantages can boost self-esteem and create a more inclusive environment.

This performance isn’t just entertaining; it also reflects a growing trend where celebrities openly embrace their unique traits. Social media is abuzz with users sharing their own experiences of being short or celebrating their quirks. For many, these moments resonate and foster a sense of community.
