Whitney Cummings recently reflected on Sabrina Carpenter’s audition for The Conners, revealing that although Sabrina was passed over for the role of Harris Conner-Healy, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the pop star. According to Whitney, while Sabrina’s audition was full of energy and charm, the show was looking for someone with a “darker energy” for the role, which ultimately led to her not being cast.
Whitney went on to suggest that the rejection actually helped Sabrina focus on her music career, which has flourished since. She humorously joked that she should receive a cut of Sabrina’s tour profits or at least some front-row seats, as Whitney believes that sometimes rejections in Hollywood can lead to better opportunities, as seen in Sabrina’s case. Whitney also offered some advice regarding Sabrina’s recent breakup with actor Barry Keoghan, though she didn’t elaborate on the specifics.
