Connor Storrie is in a hilarious and intense competition with his work schedule. The star of "The Heated Rivalry" candidly admitted that he was not as well-rested as he could be when he stepped out for the 2026 Actor Awards in Los Angeles on March 1, just a day after hosting "Saturday Night Live" for the first time alongside the musical act Mumford & Sons.

As Connor made his way across the red carpet at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall, E! News' Keltie Knight jokingly asked him, "Connor, how much sleep did you get last night?" And in response, the 26-year-old quipped, "Barely any."
Despite his lack of sleep or not, Connor couldn't miss the Actor Awards, which are hosted by Kristen Bell for the second year in a row. In addition to turning heads on the red carpet in an oversized black suit and diamond necklace, he is also set to present an award during the annual ceremony. And if his hosting gig at "Saturday Night Live" was any indication, he'll certainly do a great job.
Indeed, the actor earned quite a few laughs during his opening monologue for the NBC sketch comedy show – especially when he invited athletes from Team USA’s men’s and women’s hockey teams to join him onstage during the Feb. 28 episode. “In two weeks I had to learn how to [speak] Russian, look like I knew how to play hockey,” Connor said of his role on "Heated Rivalry" during the speech. “And then I’m watching the Olympics and I see these amazing players and I’m like, ‘I don’t think I played it off.’”
Shortly after, men's hockey stars Jack Hughes and Quinn Hughes, as well as women's teammates Megan Keller and Hilary Knight, joined him on stage. “It was gonna be just us, but we thought we’d invite the guys, too,” Hilary joked, referring to President Donald Trump laughing about inviting the women’s team to the White House. Megan added, “Yeah, we thought we’d give them a little moment to shine.”
