SNL: Skarsgårds Crash, 'Heated Rivalry' Star Hosts, & Pete's Borderline Humor

'SNL' Sees Surprise Guest Appearances, Announces Future Host

Saturday Night Live's January 31, 2026, episode featured unexpected appearances by Stellan Skarsgård alongside his son, Alexander Skarsgård, who was hosting. The show also announced Connor Storrie, star of "Heated Rivalry," as the host for the February 28th episode, with Mumford & Sons as the musical guest, according to Variety.

Stellan Skarsgård joined his son in two sketches, playing a "screaming dad" and a "goofy dramatic actor," Variety reported. This marked Alexander Skarsgård's debut as host.

The show opened with a cold open featuring Pete Davidson, who returned to "SNL" to portray border czar Tom Homan, according to Variety. Davidson's character was depicted training ICE agents in Minneapolis on how to avoid being filmed while breaking the law. Davidson began the segment by stating, "I’m sure a lot of you are wondering why..." (Variety).

The announcement of Connor Storrie as the next host continues "SNL's" season of featuring first-time hosts and pop-forward musical guests, Variety noted. This follows a "major shakeup" in the cast earlier in the year.

In other entertainment news, the film "Send Help" has garnered attention for its "vicious ending," according to Time. The film follows the evolving relationship between CEO Bradley Preston (Dylan O'Brien) and employee Linda Liddle (Rachel McAdams) after they are stranded on a desert island.

Also making headlines is "Melania," a documentary about the former First Lady, produced by Melania Trump herself. Amazon MGM Studios purchased the documentary for $40 million and reportedly spent another $35 million on marketing, according to Time. The premiere was held at the Trump Kennedy Center with many members of the Trump Administration in attendance, including Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
