Connor Storrie Knew What 'SNL' Viewers Wanted to See

It's a show that's taught a lot of people about hockey, and it's taught a lot of straight women that their sexuality is 'gay guy.'

The premise of the humor - that these three guys were useless around the house without their spouses around - isn't exactly fresh. It's 2025, and the idea that a guy can't make instant ramen without somehow botching it is enough to inspire sighs more than chuckles. That said, the actors playing the three husbands in the sketch - Teller, Kenan Thompson and Ben Marshall - really commit to their utter cluelessness.
