Summary
- Connor Storrie hosted SNL, referencing his show 'Heated Rivalry'.
- Olympic gold medalists Quinn and Jack Hughes appeared live.
- Women's hockey champions Hilary Knight and Megan Keller also featured.
Connor Storrie, star of 'Heated Rivalry,' hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time, incorporating his acting challenges into his opening monologue. He shared his journey of learning Russian and hockey for his role as Ilya Rozanov.
During his monologue, brothers Quinn and Jack Hughes, members of the gold-medal-winning U.S. men's Olympic hockey team, interrupted Storrie. They humorously contrasted their real-life experiences, including Jack's injury in the final game, with Storrie's on-screen portrayal.
The appearance served as a subtle resolution to a controversy involving the men's team and President Donald Trump's remarks about inviting the women's team to the White House. The women's team champions, Hilary Knight and Megan Keller, also made an appearance, receiving significant applause and acknowledging their own recent gold medal victory. Quinn Hughes noted the long gap since the men's last gold, contrasting it with the women's more recent achievement.
