Connor Storrie made an unexpected appearance on Saturday Night Live to introduce Olivia Rodrigo’s new song.
The 26-year-old Heated Rivalry star — who previously hosted the late-night comedy show in late February — stepped in during the May 2 episode to present Rodrigo’s latest track “Begged,” which will appear on her upcoming album.
Dressed in an all-denim look, Storrie was met with loud cheers from the live audience as he welcomed Rodrigo back to the stage for a second time that night. In addition to serving as musical guest, Rodrigo also hosted the episode.
Storrie, who did not appear in any other sketches during the broadcast, had taken on hosting duties himself earlier in the year, making his SNL debut as host on the Feb. 28 episode.
During her performance of “Begged,” Rodrigo delivered the mournful ballad while seated on a swing. The track will appear on her third album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, set for release on June 12.
Earlier in the evening, the singer-songwriter was introduced by Blondie’s Debbie Harry for an energetic performance of “Drop Dead,” the lead single from You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, released April 17. The track has already become Rodrigo’s fourth No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The episode marks Rodrigo’s third overall appearance on SNL but her first time hosting. She previously appeared as musical guest in May 2021, performing songs from Sour, and again in December 2023 promoting Guts.
