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

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 Jonesโ€™ (Kim Cattrall) mini-me heiress client in the Season 3 episode โ€œHot Child in the City.โ€ Spoiler alert: Jenny was hot and probably too sassy for her own good.

Now, imagine thisโ€”Kat, just a wee teenager, stepping into a world of cosmos, couture, and adult chaos. The kicker? She wasnโ€™t even allowed to watch Sex and the City. Thatโ€™s right. Baby Kat was over here guest-starring on a show she couldnโ€™t legally vibe with.

In her words:
โ€œWell, it was very interesting because, of course, I wasnโ€™t allowed to watch Sex and the City as a child.โ€ (Translation: My mom said no to spicy TV and yes to awkward childhood innocence.)

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

But hereโ€™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.

โ€œAnd after I did that and I walked into, like, The Gap in Pennsylvania, people were like, โ€˜Oh my God, itโ€™s Jenny Brier! Like, give her the employee discount!โ€™โ€ Yes, you heard that rightโ€”Gap employees handing over discounts like she was Carrie Bradshaw waltzing into a Manolo Blahnik store. Katโ€™s response? Probably something along the lines of, โ€œThanks, peasants!โ€ (Okay, not really, but itโ€™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 perksโ€”like discounted khakis.

Oh, and if you want to see Kat tell this story herself (because letโ€™s face it, sheโ€™s funnier than all of us), catch her explaining it all on The View. Itโ€™s worth it.
