Connor Storrie to Host Saturday Night Live with Musical Guest Mumford & Sons: A Look at His Rise to Fame and Heated Rivalry Success
Connor Storrie, known for his role in the popular series Heated Rivalry, is set to make his debut as the host of Saturday Night Live on February 28. The 25-year-old actor will be joined by musical guest Mumford & Sons for the late-night show. Storrie expressed his excitement on Instagram after the announcement was made during a previous SNL episode. He has been making various appearances, including serving as a torchbearer for the 2026 Olympic games and attending YSL's Paris Fashion Week show.
Heated Rivalry, a Canadian hockey drama available on Crave and HBO Max, follows the story of two rival professional players, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, as they navigate their complicated relationship. The show has been renewed for a second season, and author Rachel Reid is set to release her seventh book in the Game Changers series, titled Unrivaled. The success of the series has even prompted New York City's mayor to recommend residents to stay home during a snowstorm and read Reid's books, which are available for free downloads.
SNL previously acknowledged the popularity of Heated Rivalry with a sketch called Heated Wizardry, featuring Finn Wolfhard and Ben Marshall as Harry Potter and Ron Weasley in a quidditch rivalry. The sketch humorously played on the success of the HBO series based on the film franchise. Storrie's upcoming hosting gig on SNL is a testament to the show's growing acclaim and fan base.
