Connor Storrie to Host SNL — Episode Details

Connor Storrie, star of the breakout Canadian romance drama Heated Rivalry, will make his Saturday Night Live hosting debut on Saturday, February 28. NBC announced the booking during the January 31 episode hosted by Alexander Skarsgård. This episode is the first new SNL following the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics (Feb. 6–22).

If you’re searching for “hosting snl tonight,” note that Storrie’s episode is scheduled for Feb. 28 — not immediately — but you can bookmark ticket pages or mark your calendar now.

How to watch

New episodes of Saturday Night Live air live on NBC at 11:30 ET/10:30 CT/8:30 PT. You can also stream SNL the next day on Peacock. For fans who want to attend, NBC posts standby ticket info for Studio 8H; expect high demand given Heated Rivalry’s fandom.

Musical guest: Mumford & Sons

Mumford & Sons will serve as the musical guest for Storrie’s episode. The folk-rock band has appeared on SNL multiple times and will be promoting their sixth album, Prizefighter, which releases on February 20. Their presence brings a folk-rock energy to the show and should pair well with Storrie’s mainstream breakout.

Will Hudson Williams appear?

Storrie’s Heated Rivalry co-star Hudson Williams reacted to the hosting news on Instagram with a celebratory comment — “MY BABY BOY ON SNL WHOOOOOO!!!!” — fueling fan speculation that Williams might join Storrie on stage or in sketches. NBC has not confirmed any guest cameos; SNL’s recent season has featured surprise appearances from costars and celebrity friends, so a cameo remains possible.

Who is Connor Storrie?

Storrie plays Ilya Rozanov, a Russian hockey player, on Heated Rivalry, and the show’s popularity has rapidly increased his profile. He previously appeared in Tiny Beautiful Things and Joker: Folie à Deux but describes Heated Rivalry as his first major role that changed his career trajectory.

What to expect

Expect a mix of sketches, a monologue from Storrie, and performances from Mumford & Sons. SNL often leans into current pop culture trends, so sketches inspired by Heated Rivalry and the show’s hockey setting could appear. Fans eager for tickets should follow NBC’s standby booking link and SNL’s social channels for updates.
