After a monthlong hiatus, “Saturday Night Live” returned on Feb. 26 with a powerful tribute to Ukraine amid the ongoing Russian invasion 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 and Cecily Strong, 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 hosted last night’s episode of “SNL,” joining the Five-Timers Club. LCD Soundsystem returned as musical guests, performing “Thrills” and “Yr City’s a Sucker.”
