Heated Rivalry on SNL
Storrie’s appearance as the Feb. 28 host drew attention not only for the musical booking but for guest turns and sketches that leveraged his film connections and physical comedy. Viewers were invited to click the video embeds below to watch some of the highlights from Saturday night’s show.
Hudson Williams Surprise Appearance
Hudson Williams, Storrie’s co-star, made a surprise appearance in a sketch set at the Rockefeller Center ice skating rink. The sketch featured a man proposing to his girlfriend only to be turned down; that couple was played by Tommy Brennan and Veronika Slowikowska. As Brennan and Slowikowska’s characters dissected their relationship, Storrie, Mikey Day and Ben Marshall skated behind them, which distracted Brennan.
Midway through the sketch, Day announces, "oh my gosh you guys, look who finally showed up, " with Storrie excitedly shouting, "Hudson, " prompting the audience to go wild. Williams then says, "Sorry I’m late, fellas, but I have a serious question: Who’s ready to skate their butts off?"
Olympic Hockey Stars Join Monologue
During the monologue, Storrie was joined by USA men’s hockey stars Quinn Hughes and Jack Hughes and USA women’s hockey stars Megan Keller and Hilary Knight, although the latter got much louder applause. Knight and Keller poked fun at Donald Trump’s slight on the women’s team after the men’s win, with Knight joking, "It was gonna be just us, but we thought we’d invite the guys, too, " before Keller added, "Yeah, we thought we’d give them a little moment to shine. "
Whatever goodwill the Hughes brothers had built with the dedicated fandom seems to have dissipated following Team USA's gold medal win last Sunday. Jack Hughes, Quinn Hughes, Megan Keller and Hilary Knight continued their post-Olympic victory lap at 30 Rock.
Sketches Cut For Time
Storrie showcased physical comedy and a sculpted physique in a sketch where he played a stripper committed to dancing at a bachelorette party despite being hit by a car. He also wound up without clothes in a sketch cut for time about new car door handles. In another sketch cut for time, Storrie played Armie Hammer, one of many stars blaming their bad behavior on Tourette syndrome.
Other Headlines And Briefs
Alongside the SNL coverage, several short items and headlines appeared in the same package. There was a note about the 2026 Actor Awards: "Everything you need to know about the 2026 Actor Awards. " A technology brief stated that Motorola made both screens on its newest foldable brighter than any of its rivals by quite a margin. In soccer coverage, with World Cup roster spots still up for grabs, MLS players remain firmly in the USMNT conversation, for better or worse.
Baseball and college notes included: Pittsburgh Pirates' Konnor Griffin continues to live up to the billing as the MLB's top prospect. A sports brief noted that Curry is no longer eligible for season-ending awards. College football coverage noted Dominiq Ponder was the Buffaloes' backup quarterback last season. In cycling, Jess McClain was led off the course with the lead during the final stretch by the lead bike in Atlanta.
Finally, women’s college basketball reporting said UConn remains the No. 1 overall seed and is joined on the seed line by Texas in the NCAA women's basketball tournament committee's second and final Top 16 reveal on Sunday.
Storrie’s hosting night combined the film tie-ins of heated rivalry with live comedy moments, musical performance by Mumford & Sons, surprise guest Hudson Williams, and a parade of Olympic athletes and cut sketches that together shaped the Feb. 28 broadcast.
