Kat Dennings Spills the Tea on Her Baby-Faced Role in Sex and the City

Buy Me A Coffee

Kat Dennings, the queen of sarcasm and snark from Two Broke Girls, took a stroll down memory lane on The View and unearthed the time she waltzed into our TV screens as a 14-year-old boss babe on Sex and the City. Yes, back in the year 2000, when Y2K panic was a thing, Kat made her debut as Jenny Brier, Samantha Jones’ (Kim Cattrall) mini-me heiress client in the Season 3 episode β€œHot Child in the City.” Spoiler alert: Jenny was hot and probably too sassy for her own good.

Now, imagine thisβ€”Kat, just a wee teenager, stepping into a world of cosmos, couture, and adult chaos. The kicker? She wasn’t even allowed to watch Sex and the City. That’s right. Baby Kat was over here guest-starring on a show she couldn’t legally vibe with.

In her words:
β€œWell, it was very interesting because, of course, I wasn’t allowed to watch Sex and the City as a child.” (Translation: My mom said no to spicy TV and yes to awkward childhood innocence.)

Oh, but waitβ€”it gets better. Kat’s family didn’t even have cable. (Gasp! No MTV, no Cartoon Network, no Nickelodeon marathons… pure wilderness living.) So naturally, she had zero clue what Sex and the City was all about. β€œI auditioned for it. I was like, β€˜What a weird show. What a weird title.’” Because honestly, who names a show Sex and the City and expects a 14-year-old not to giggle?

But here’s the scene-stealer: after nailing the role, Kat and her family spotted a Sex and the City billboard plastered across an entire building during a train ride home. And that was her initiation into the Big Leagues. The cherry on top? Instant Gap-level fame.

β€œAnd after I did that and I walked into, like, The Gap in Pennsylvania, people were like, β€˜Oh my God, it’s Jenny Brier! Like, give her the employee discount!’” Yes, you heard that rightβ€”Gap employees handing over discounts like she was Carrie Bradshaw waltzing into a Manolo Blahnik store. Kat’s response? Probably something along the lines of, β€œThanks, peasants!” (Okay, not really, but it’s fun to imagine.)

The moral of the story: even at 14, Kat Dennings was already out there living her best heiress life, proving that fame comes with perksβ€”like discounted khakis.

Oh, and if you want to see Kat tell this story herself (because let’s face it, she’s funnier than all of us), catch her explaining it all on The View. It’s worth it.
