Fans Love Jake Gyllenhaal, Sabrina Carpenter’s Scooby-Doo Spoof OnSNL
TheSaturday Night Livespoof was made even more special with two of the most in-demand celebrities today.Jake GyllenhaalandSabrina Carpenter’s tandem was something fans did not expect to see but eventually loved.
In the short Scooby-Doo sketch they did, entitledThe Mystery of the Shadow Phantom, the gang went to explore a haunted house to look for the shadow phantom. When Scooby-Doo caught him, they tied him up for interrogation. As it turns out, he was Old Man Franklin.
Fred would not believe it and said, “No one is who they appear to be” before pulling off the man’s face. The gang was shocked when they saw the guy’s bloodied face, with Daphne suggesting they should put his ripped-out skin in a bowl of dry ice.

The skit got even bloodier as accidents occurred to the other members, but the climax happened when Fred pulled out his gun. The video lasted for only three minutes, but that was enough to convince the audience that they needed this version ofScooby-Doo. Check out some of their tweets below:
an adult live action scooby-doo film or series could go hard. Just because velma couldn’t do the concept doesn’t mean we can’t try again.

A rated-R live-actionScooby-Dooproject has been a long-time wish of fans. The latest project under the franchise,Velma, was heavily criticized by the public.
Mindy Kaling OnVelma’s Backlash
Velmawas first announced back in 2021, but it gained traction after the report of race-swapped characters.Mindy Kaling, who is of South Asian descent, received backlash for voicing the titular character. She explained onNBC’s Late Night With Seth Meyers:
There was a lot of, ‘So, not Velma?’ Those kinds of tweets. She’s such a great character, she’s so smart and I just couldn’t understand how people couldn’t imagine a really smart, nerdy girl with terrible eyesight who loved to solve mysteries, could not be Indian.
The actress said that it should not be a surprise to everyone that Velma could have South Asian roots, but what shocked Kaling was the strong reactions from fans. It made her think that she’s got to be careful in portraying the character.

Based on the fans’ enthusiasm with Jake Gyllenhaal and Sabrina Carpenter’sSNLskit, perhaps aScooby-Doolive-action series from them could redeem the franchise.
