"One of the highlights was a pretaped sketch featuring Storrie and several SNL cast members as Victorian gentlemen arguing over the finer points of etiquette. It was reminiscent of 2024's sketch about a very tall shrimp tower in both its period costuming and its conviction that slapstick comedy involving elaborately dressed people will be funny. (Spoiler: it was.)"
"Storrie and SNL veteran Mikey Day play two gentlemen whose heated words lead to a cascading series of removed gloves and slapped faces. Do things escalate? They do, until by sketch's end its level of frenetic action approaches something like a Stephen Chow film. The SNL hair and makeup team really outdid themselves for this one, with Storrie's sideburns and Kenan Thompson's beard as particular highlights."
"Also notable: Storrie's opening monologue, which was both charming and showed off his comic timing. The fact that he was joined by four gold medal-winning hockey players for Team USA - Jack Hughes, Quinn Hughes, Megan Keller and Hilary Knight -resulted in an even more enthusiastic response from the audience."
Connor Storrie made his SNL hosting debut on Saturday, proving his comedic abilities despite limited comedy in his filmography. The episode featured a standout pretaped sketch with Storrie and SNL cast members as Victorian gentlemen engaged in an escalating etiquette dispute involving glove removal and face slapping, building to frenetic slapstick action reminiscent of Stephen Chow films. The SNL hair and makeup team created impressive period costumes, particularly Storrie's sideburns and Kenan Thompson's beard. Storrie's opening monologue showcased his charm and comic timing, enhanced by appearances from four gold medal-winning hockey players from Team USA, whose remarks subtly addressed recent events surrounding the gold medal-winning teams.
