\n\tMumford & Sons returned to Studio 8H on Saturday night \u2014 and they didn\u2019t come alone.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe folk-rock band made their fourth appearance on Saturday Night Live<\/a> on February 28th, performing material from their new album Prizefighter, released February 20th. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe set\u2019s standout moment came when Hozier walked out to join the band for a live performance of \u201cRubber Band Man,\u201d their collaboration that has spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt marked the band\u2019s first SNL appearance in eight years, since their 2018 visit, and the Hozier surprise gave the performance an extra jolt that the Studio 8H crowd was clearly not expecting.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe episode was hosted by Connor Storrie, the 26-year-old Canadian actor best known for his role as Shane Hollander on HBO Max\u2019s Heated Rivalry, making his SNL debut. During his opening monologue, Storrie brought out members of the U.S. women\u2019s Olympic hockey team, who recently won gold, alongside the U.S. men\u2019s squad \u2014 playing up the contrast between the women\u2019s recent triumph and the men\u2019s 40-plus year gold medal drought for laughs.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe night\u2019s other talking point came during a late-night sketch filmed on location at the Rink at Rockefeller Center, where Storrie\u2019s Heated Rivalry costar Hudson Williams made an unannounced cameo. The two, who play rival hockey players on the show, skated together in what quickly became the episode\u2019s most shared moment online. <\/p>\n

\n\tWilliams later returned to Studio 8H to join Storrie in introducing Mumford & Sons for their musical segment.<\/p>\n

\n\tBeyond \u201cRubber Band Man,\u201d the band performed additional material from Prizefighter, which also features tracks including \u201cThe Banjo Song\u201d and \u201cHere.\u201d<\/p>\n
