Heated Rivalry Star Connor Storrie Hosts Saturday Night Live; Mumford & Sons Perform
Connor Storrie, the star of heated rivalry, hosted Saturday Night Live on Feb. 28, and English band Mumford & Sons served as the evening’s musical guest, delivering a show that mixed surprise cameos and several sketches cut for time.
Hudson Williams skates into a proposal sketch
Storrie was joined onstage by his co-star Hudson Williams in a surprise appearance during a sketch set at the Rockefeller Center ice skating rink, where a man proposing to his girlfriend is turned down. The couple in the sketch was played by Tommy Brennan and Veronika Slowikowska, while Storrie, Mikey Day and Ben Marshall skated behind them and distracted Brennan.
Midway through the sketch Day announced, "oh my gosh you guys, look who finally showed up, " prompting Storrie to shout, "Hudson, " and sending the audience wild. Williams then delivered the line, "Sorry I’m late, fellas, but I have a serious question: Who’s ready to skate their butts off?"
Monologue backed by Olympic hockey stars
During the monologue Storrie was joined by U. S. men’s hockey players Quinn Hughes and Jack Hughes and U. S. women’s hockey players Megan Keller and Hilary Knight, with Knight drawing noticeably louder applause. Keller and Knight used their appearance to poke fun at a recent slight on the women’s team, with Knight quipping, "It was gonna be just us, but we thought we’d invite the guys, too, " and Keller adding, "Yeah, we thought we’d give them a little moment to shine. "
Heated Rivalry presence extended across sketches
Beyond the skating sketch and the monologue, Storrie showed off his well-sculpted body in a sketch where he played a stripper committed to dancing at a bachelorette party despite being hit by a car. That sketch provided a physical, on-stage moment tied to his performance on Feb. 28.
Two other sketches featuring Storrie were noted as cut for time: one in which he wound up without clothes in a sketch about new car door handles, and another in which he played Armie Hammer in a sketch about celebrities blaming bad behavior on Tourette syndrome.
Mumford & Sons closed out the night
English band Mumford & Sons served as the show’s musical guest on Feb. 28, rounding out the evening that mixed comedy sketches, celebrity cameos and musical performance. Video embeds from the night are available for viewers to watch highlights from the show.
Highlights included the Rockefeller Center skating sketch with Tommy Brennan and Veronika Slowikowska, the Hughes and Keller/Knight monologue appearance, Hudson Williams’s surprise entrance and the three sketches involving Storrie that either aired or were cut for time.
