Get ready for some exciting news, fans of late-night comedy! Connor Storrie, the rising star of 'The Heated Rivalry', is set to make his debut as the host of 'Saturday Night Live' on February 28th. This marks a significant moment for the actor, who has been on a meteoric rise to fame, going from a little-known working actor to a Golden Globes presenter, Olympic torchbearer, and now, a 'SNL' host! But here's where it gets interesting...
Connor Storrie, alongside musical guest Mumford & Sons, will take the Studio 8H stage for the first time. His best-known role prior to the Crave Canada hit 'Joker: Folie à deux' was as Young Inmate. However, outside of acting, Storrie has been vocal about his involvement in the clown scene in Los Angeles, which makes his 'SNL' debut all the more intriguing.
'The Heated Rivalry' itself was spoofed on 'SNL' during its midseason return, with a sketch that featured host Finn Wolfhard and cast member Ben Marshall as Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, respectively, in a sendup called 'Heated Wizardry'. If the high demand for personal ticket requests for Storrie's appearance is any indication, his 'SNL' debut will be a memorable one.
'SNL' will be off air until February 28th, and it airs live on NBC and Peacock, Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT. The storied late-night show is produced in association with creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels' Broadway Video. So, mark your calendars and get ready for some hilarious sketches and musical performances! But here's the question: What do you think of Connor Storrie's 'SNL' debut? Will it live up to the hype?
