After a month-long hiatus, "Saturday Night Live [1]" returned on Feb. 26 with a powerful tribute to Ukraine amid the ongoing Russian invasion [2] under the leadership of President Vladimir Putin. The sketch comedy show opened with a moving performance by the Ukrainian Chorus Dumka of New York. Introduced by "SNL" cast members Kate McKinnon [3] and Cecily Strong [4], the choir sang "Prayer for Ukraine" behind a table of votive candles that were positioned to spell out the capital city of Kyiv. Watch the full performance above!
John Mulaney [6] hosted last night's episode of "SNL," joining the Five-Timers Club. LCD Soundsystem [7] returned as musical guests, performing "Thrills" and "Yr City's a Sucker."
