Sabrina Carpenter Teases Tonight’s ‘SNL’ in Behind-the-Scenes Photos

With just hours to go until Sabrina Carpenter takes over SNL, the singer reminded fans to tune with an Instagram post full of backstage snapshots.

“TONIGHT,” Carpenter captioned her photo post, tagging @nbcsnl and topping it off with a red lips emoji.

The pics give viewers a glimpse at her dressing room and outfit options. There’s also a peek at what looks to be a table read or writing session, and at the actual cue card that was used filming this week’s promo spot — all at SNL‘s 30 Rock headquarters in New York City.

Saturday night (Oct. 18) marks Carpenter’s first time hosting SNL, and her return as musical guest. The “Manchild” hitmaker performed during a May 2024 episode and was featured on February 2025’s SNL50 special, for which she sang a duet with Paul Simon and co-starred in one of Marcello Hernandez’s “Domingo” sketches. (She’d already had a run-in with Domingo at one of her concerts on the Short n’ Sweet Tour, during her “Juno” bit; he was the crowd member arrested for being too hot at a Los Angeles stop.)

With a background in sitcoms, plenty of experience on the live stage and a knack for penning punchy song lyrics, Carpenter is primed to let her comedic side shine Saturday night.

As musical guest she’s promoting her latest album, Man’s Best Friend, which made its debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in August.

Neil Young has announced a 50th anniversary edition of his 1975 album Tonight’s the Night.

Due out on November 28th, the limited-edition release contains six bonus tracks, including unreleased original versions of “Lookout Joe” and “Walk On,” both recorded during the 1973 album sessions at S.I.R. in Los Angeles. In particular, “Lookout Joe” replaces the original album version on the 50th anniversary reissue.

The tracklist also contains an unreleased version of “Tonight’s The Night,” as well as bonus tracks “Everybody’s Alone,” “Raised on Robbery” (featuring Joni Mitchell,) and “Speakin’ Out” originally released in Neil Young Archives Vol. II. Also of note is the presence of an early version of “Wonderin’”, recorded during the sessions for Tonight’s the Night, which was previously only to stream on Young’s website. All six of these bonus tracks are being released on vinyl for the first time.

The reissue also includes a newly imagined take of the album’s original artwork.

As Young recently pulled his music from Amazon, calling on his fans to boycott the company and “support your community.” As such, the 50th anniversary edition of Tonight’s the Night will be available via independent record stores and Warner Records’ website.

Neil Young announces 50th anniversary reissue for ‘Tonight’s The Night’

Neil Young has announced a 50th anniversary re-release for his 1975 album ‘Tonight’s The Night’.

The limited-edition reissue will contain the full album alongside six bonus tracks, made up of unreleased alternate versions of songs from the era and a collaboration with Joni Mitchell.

The album will include a version of ‘Lookout Joe’ that was recorded at S.I.R. Studio in Los Angeles in 1973 in place of the original and a new take on the record’s title track. Also included are unreleased versions of ‘Walk On’, ‘Everybody’s Alone’ and ‘Speakin’ Out’, an early version of ‘Wonderin’’ and a collaborative version of Mitchell’s ‘Raised On Robbery’.

The reissue will be released on 2LP, clear 2LP and CD versions on November 28 and you can pre-order your copy here.

‘Tonight’s The Night’ was Young’s sixth studio album, released in June 1975. It had been recorded two years earlier but label Reprise delayed its release, reportedly due to the bleakness of the subject matter and its rough sound.

Young wrote the songs while grieving the deaths of Crazy Horse guitarist Danny Whitten and his friend Bruce Berry, and it formed the third part of his ‘Ditch Trilogy’ (after ‘Time Fades Away’ and ‘On The Beach’), recorded during Young’s deliberate retreat from fame after the success of 1972’s ‘Harvest’.

‘Tonight’s the Night’ 50th anniversary edition tracklist: 

  1. ‘Tonight’s The Night’
  2. ‘Speakin’ Out’
  3. ‘World On A String’
  4. ‘Borrowed Tune’
  5. ‘Come On Baby Let’s Go Downtown’
  6. ‘Mellow My Mind’
  7. ‘Roll Another Number (For The Road)’
  8. ‘Albuquerque’
  9. ‘New Mama’
  10. ‘Lookout Joe [New 1973 version]’
  11. ‘Tired Eyes’
  12. ‘Tonight’s The Night (part II)’ 

Bonus tracks (from original sessions at S.I.R. Studio): 

  1. ‘Walk On’
  2. ‘Wonderin’’
  3. ‘Everybody’s Alone’
  4. ‘Raised On Robbery’ [feat. Joni Mitchell]
  5. ‘Speakin’ Out Jam’
  6. ‘Tonight’s The Night (take 3)’ 

Elsewhere, Young recently announced he was removing his music from Amazon Music. “The time is here. FORGET AMAZON,” he wrote. “Soon my music will not be there. It is easy to buy local. Support your community. Go to the local store. Don’t go back to the big corporations who have sold out America.”

He also deactivated his Facebook and Instagram accounts over Meta’s reported “unconscionable use of chatbots with children” earlier this year.

Earlier this summer, Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts headlined Glastonbury 2025 and in a four-star review, NME described the performance as “a headline set that proves that sometimes, there’s still power to be found in an old-school approach”.

“It is, in short, the definition of no frills,” it read. “It’s testament to the power of Young’s songwriting, then, just how brilliantly it all works, how little the momentum drops.”

Young released his first studio album with the Chrome Hearts, ‘Talkin To The Trees’, in June, and shared the anti-Trump song ‘Big Crime’ last month.

‘Last Week Tonight’s John Oliver Calls Out FCC Over Kimmel

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Following his big night at last weekend’s 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, where he won Outstanding Scripted Variety Series and Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series, John Oliver had his work cut out for him on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight.

The comedian pulled no punches as he called out Nexstar and Sinclair, claiming they had to get Brendan Carr‘s “dick out of their mouth” to carry out the apparent FCC-sanctioned campaign against Jimmy Kimmel.

“We were off last week, and a lot happened since our last show,” said Oliver in his monologue before launching into the recap, including Trump’s royal visit to the U.K., where protesters projected a photo of the POTUS with Jeffrey Epstein on the side of Windsor Castle.

“That does make me genuinely proud of the country I’m worried I’m gonna be deported to after this show airs,” he continued. “because we’re gonna dive straight in with our main story tonight.”

Catching his audience up on Disney‘s announcement that Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be “preempted indefinitely.” The suspension has been criticized by many as an attack on free speech, following the FCC’s warning about his Charlie Kirk comments.

As Nexstar attempts to double its size by acquiring competitor Tegna, Oliver explained, “The point is, Nexstar badly needs FCC approval, so it is hardly surprising that when Carr specifically said companies should pull Kimmel off the air or face consequences, it quickly complied.

“Basically, Brendan Carr said ‘jump,’ and Nexstar took his dick out of their mouth for just long enough to say, ‘How high, exactly?’” added Oliver, noting that Sinclair then followed suit, while also pursuing merger options that require FCC approval.

“The sequence of events here could not be clearer, because it was all done in plain view,” Oliver explained. “Carr leaned on broadcasters to take down Kimmel. They did that, sometimes even directly citing Carr while doing so, and then Carr celebrated with a fun GIF. That sure seems like a pretty clear case of the government pressuring companies to censor speech. And it’s not like Trump is even trying to hide it.”

Oliver then pointed out that he should be safe at HBO as it isn’t on broadcast and therefore, “much less susceptible to pressure from the FCC,” adding: “That is obviously very good new for us, and I really don’t see why that situation should change anytime soon.”

The comedian then played clips of news coverage about Paramount‘s potential bid for Warner Bros., launching into an expletive-laden rant.

Known for his ‘Prove Me Wrong’ debates and MAGA POV, activist Kirk was shot dead at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10 in a tragedy that has sent shock through the political and media worlds.

Having previously mocked Trump over POTUS’ take on the NFL and TikTok, Kimmel offered his blunt assessment of the aftermath of Kirk’s death in his opening monologue on his Sept. 15 show: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
