Watch Anne Hathaway Sing as Mary Poppins in an SNL Episode ...
Anne Hathaway's enjoyed an impressive 25-year career, with credits ranging from The Princess Diaries and The Devil Wears Prada to 2024's The Idea of You. And while her excellent work as a Saturday Night Live will never earn her a third Academy Award nomination, the show has certainly showcased Hathaway's range — including her beautiful singing voice.
Watch Saturday Night Live Saturdays at 11:30/10:30c on NBC and Peacock, streaming next day on Peacock.
Case in point: Hathaway's "Mary Poppins" sketch from her SNL debut on October 4, 2008. Playing the titular character, Hathaway sings "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" along with her young charges (Season 34 cast members Bobby Moynihan and Casey Wilson). The curious children ask Mary Poppins what this funny word actually means.

Anne Hathaway sang "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" and "A Spoonful of Sugar" in SNL's Mary Poppins sketch"If you must know, Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is a disease of the liver," Hathaway's Poppins reveals with a wide, toothy grin. "It's very rare, and extremely painful!"
Poppins soon confirms to the kids that yes, she has it, and yes, it's contagious — "but only for grown-ups." Grown-ups like Bert (Bill Hader), who is portrayed by Dick Van Dyke in the 1964 film. Bert, who hilariously clatters his one-man-band setup as he walks around, soon learns he's sick as well.

Hathaway, Moynihan, and Wilson harmonize on "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" and "A Spoonful of Sugar" — and it wasn't the only time Hathaway sang on SNL. She put in a stunning vocal performance as Dorothy Gale in "The Wizard of Oz" sketch from her second episode on November 20, 2010.
