Sabrina Carpenter, Paul Simon Perform Tender ‘Homeward Bound’ to Open ‘SNL50’
Sabrina Carpenter and Paul Simon opened 'SNL50: The Anniversary Special' with 'Homeward Bound' on Sunday.
Before launching into the song that appears on the duo’s third studio album — Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme — Simon told Carpenter, “I sang this song with George Harrison on SNL in 1976.” Carpenter cheekily responded with, “I was not born then… and neither were my parents.” That didn’t hold her back from beautifully harmonizing with Simon and trading verses with him as he gently plucked the melody on an acoustic guitar. They ended with the famous line: “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!” (Yes, it’s Sunday, but totally appropriate given the 50th anniversary celebration its marking). It will also feature an array of stars, including alumni Kristen Wiig, Adam Sandler, Eddie Murphy, Will Farrell, Amy Poehler, Andy Samberg, Chris Rock, Fred Armisen, Garrett Morris, Jane Curtin, Jason Sudeikis, Jimmy Fallon, Kate McKinnon, Kenan Thompson, Laraine Newman, Maya Rudolph, Molly Shannon, Pete Davidson, Seth Meyers, Tina Fey, Tracy Morgan, and Will Forte.
