SNL: Skarsgårds Crash, Storrie Hosts, Pete Pranks, Musk's Emails Exposed

'SNL' Episode Features Cameos, New Host Announcement Amidst Industry News

New York, NY – The January 31, 2026, episode of "Saturday Night Live" (SNL) saw a mix of comedic performances, celebrity cameos, and a significant announcement regarding the show's future. The episode, hosted by Alexander Skarsgård, featured surprise appearances from his father, Stellan Skarsgård, who crashed two of his son's sketches. According to Variety, Stellan Skarsgård played a "screaming dad" and a "goofy dramatic actor" in the unexpected cameos.

The show opened with a cold open featuring Pete Davidson, who returned to SNL to portray border czar Tom Homan. Davidson's character was depicted training ICE agents on how to avoid being filmed while breaking the law, according to Variety. Davidson opened the segment by saying, "Wondering why Gregory Bovino was dismissed? I want to stress t."

In addition to the on-screen performances, SNL announced Connor Storrie, star of "Heated Rivalry," as the next host. Variety reported that Storrie will take over Studio 8H on February 28, joined by Mumford & Sons as the musical guest. This booking continues a season of first-time hosts and pop-forward musical guests, following a major cast shakeup earlier in the year, according to Variety.

The entertainment industry also mourned the loss of Catherine O'Hara, whose death led to the cancellation of "The Studio's" panel at Apple TV's upcoming press day. The press day was scheduled for Tuesday at the Barker Hangar in Los Angeles. Apple TV announced the cancellation shortly after O'Hara's death, according to Variety. O'Hara was not slated to attend the panel.

Meanwhile, in other news, Tesla CEO Elon Musk's emails to Jeffrey Epstein were released by the Justice Department on Friday. Time reported that the files, part of a release of millions of documents related to investigations into Epstein, include 16 emails between Musk and Epstein sent in 2012 and 2013. Musk acknowledged the emails' authenticity on X, but denied any close connection to Epstein. "No one pushed harder than me to have the Epstein files released and Im glad that has finally happened," Musk said, according to Time.
