Sabrina Carpenter Gives ‘Please, Please, Please' Sultry Jazz Makeover on ‘Tonight Show'

Sabrina Carpenter contains multitudes. The former Disney Channel star showed off her child actress chops, and then some, on Thursday night (August 22) on The Tonight Show when she performed a jazzy version of her inescapable Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit "Please Please Please" after joining Jimmy Fallon and fellow guest Zoë Kravitz in the basement for the host's very silly signature "EW!" bit.

Channeling Michelle Pfeiffer's iconic sultry piano-top performance from 1989's The Fabulous Baker Boys, Carpenter kicked-off her performance of the strong contender for song of the summer seated atop a white grand piano. Looking over her left shoulder while singing into a bejeweled microphone, the singer revamped the pop bop into a swoony torch song with the help of three back-up singers, as well as a string and horn section.

Barefoot in a glittering black gown with a daringly plunging neckline, Carpenter crawled, then stood on the piano while emoting her way through the song with the NSFW chorus that she thankfully amended for NBC censors. The performance came on the night Carpenter dropped the anticipated follow-up to 2022's Emails I Can't Send, Short n' Sweet, which in addition to chart-topper "Please" also gave the singer her first top 10 hit in April, the equally inescapable "Espresso."

Carpenter also showed up earlier in the episode alongside actress and Blink Twice director Zoë Kravitz for a trip to the basement for Fallon's long-running sketch "EW!" Joining brace-face Sara on the couch, Kravitz and Carpenter, as Lucy and Hailey, bounded down the steps in colorful outfits bursting with cute as Kravitz - chomping on a gigantic wad of gum like her life depended on it - lamented being "so not ready" for school to start.

The summer camp chums also showed off their friendship bracelets, which the pals noted were, ahem, "very mindful, very demure," to shouts of approval from the studio audience who clearly are on board with the viral phrase's creator, TikToker Jools Lebron. Kravitz's read "nightowl" because she stayed up "sooooo late," while Carpenter's was "Sweetie Pie," because she ate "soooo much candy" and Fallon's read "Splash," because, she shouted, "I'm like a mermaid!"

As usual, the guests could barely contain their laughter at Fallon's over-the-top ridiculousness, especially when they jumped up to do their "Espresso" dance, only to be interrupted, ugh, by Sara's super annoying, dorky step dad, Gary. He then ruined the fun by busting out the most cringey version of the only song of the summer he acknowledges, "Kumbaya."

The bit ended with the obligatory EW! speed round. In short: mullets (EW!), PopSockets (EW!), Hokas (EW!), Love Island (EW!), Stanley Tucci (cute) and pink drink (love!).
