Connor Storrie is showing off his gift for accents in a new promo ahead of his appearance on SNL this weekend.
The Heated Rivalry star, who plays Russian hockey player Ilya Rozanov in the show, engages in an “accent duel” with SNL cast member James Austin Johnson.
Fellow SNL cast members Ashley Padilla and Marcello Hernandez shout out different accents for them to do, including German, Cajun, French, Shrek, Na’vi and Shakespeare — before Storrie delivers the final blow by doing the Russian accent he mastered on Heated Rivalry.
“When you get to Hell, tell them Rozanov sent you,” a cowboy hat-wearing Storrie says, before shooting Johnson to win the duel.
Things get a little too real when Johnson collapses to the floor and Padilla and Hernandez run to his side. “You killed him!” Padilla screams, as Storrie backs away.
Storrie hosts this Saturday’s episode with Mumford & Sons as the musical guest.

After Ashley Tisdale published her notorious essay about her “toxic mom group,” fans speculated that she was talking about a group that included fellow celebs Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore and Meghan Trainor. Hilary has now responded to the controversy on the new episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast.
While chatting with host Alex Cooper, Hilary was asked how she felt when the essay appeared. “I felt really sad,” she said. “I was pretty taken aback and felt just, like, sad.”
She added, “I think I just was like, ‘Woah.’ It sucks to read something that’s not true, and it sucks on behalf of, like, six women and all of their lives.”
Hilary further told Alex that she didn’t know her husband, Matthew Koma, was going to respond to Ashley with an Instagram Story in which he wrote the fake headline, “When You’re The Most Self Obsessed Tone Deaf Person On Earth, Other Moms Tend To Shift Focus To Their Actual Toddlers.”
“I was like, ‘Oh my God,'” she laughed. “I don’t tell him what he can and can’t post. He is so, like, fierce for me and, like, I love him for that.”
Hilary then went on to imply that she felt that Ashley had timed the news to coincide with the fact that the Lizzie McGuire star had recently stepped back into the spotlight with new music.
“I think it came at, like, the craziest time. … Like, the timing felt not great,” Hilary explained. “And I felt used.”
“Like, would this have happened had you not had your big resurgence and everything going on with you,” Alex responded. At that point, Hilary smiled and pointed at Alex, as if to say, “You got it.”

A representative for Martin Short confirmed the news in a statement, saying, “It is with profound grief that we confirm the passing of Katherine Hartley Short.”
The statement continued, “The Short family is devastated by this loss, and asks for privacy at this time. Katherine was beloved by all and will be remembered for the light and joy she brought into the world.”

Dolman died on Aug. 21, 2010, from ovarian cancer. She and Martin Short were married for 30 years.
They also have two sons, Oliver Patrick Short, 39, and Henry Hayter Short, 36.
Martin Short has previously spoken about how his children were close, telling CNN in a 2013 interview that he was inspired by his own childhood to make sure his children were always close.
“When you have kids you have to just set down this bottom line of what can’t happen,” Martin Short said. “I’ve done it in my house and my parents did it in their house which was: Everyone has to like each other and get along. And if you don’t, you’ll get the wrath of the parents.”

With the Oscars less than three weeks away, actress Teyana Taylor is feeling mixed emotions.
“Oh, my God, my stomach is in my booty. It’s that feeling you can’t even describe,” Taylor said on Good Morning America Tuesday morning.
Taylor is nominated for an Oscar for the first time as an actress in a supporting role for her portrayal of Perfidia in the drama/thriller One Battle After Another, which also stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, Regina Hall and Chase Infiniti.
“No matter the outcome, I am blessed,” Taylor continued. “I’m just filled with so much gratitude to be a part of this moment and of this journey and of this chapter and of the conversation. So I’m very, very happy, nervous, but very happy.”
For Taylor, one of the highlights of One Battle After Another was getting to act alongside veteran actor DiCaprio, an experience the 35-year-old likened to attending a “super master class.”
“He’s been a great mentor and I really admire his leadership because he’s a legend, he’s an icon,” Taylor said. “So I’m really honored that I get to share scenes with him.”
In her prep to play Perfidia, Taylor said she followed an acting method she used previously for the role of Inez in the 2023 crime film, A Thousand and One.
“I identified her layers and then I color-coordinated those layers. So coming into Perfidia, seeing that she was even more [of a] complex character, I wanted to do the same thing,” said Taylor.
“If I feel like, OK, I’m in a moment of feeling vulnerable, maybe that color is pink … if I’m feeling rage, that moment is highlighted in red. So I literally color-coordinate [Perfidia’s] emotions,” she explained.
One Battle After Another, which is nominated for 13 Oscars, including best picture, was first released in September 2025. It is still in theaters and also available to stream.
The 98th Oscars will air on Sunday, March 15, at 7 p.m. ET on ABC and Hulu.
The Walt Disney Co. is the parent company of ABC and Hulu.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a streaming service in possession of a good fortune, must provide the teaser trailer for its Pride and Prejudice adaptation.
Netflix has shared the first trailer for its upcoming six-part series adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic novel. It has also announced that the series will be available to stream in fall 2026.
The official teaser, which runs just less than a minute, shows off Emma Corrin as Elizabeth Bennet and Jack Lowden as Mr. Darcy.
There is no dialogue in the trailer, only yearning. We see Elizabeth sitting on her roof gazing out into the sun, before it cuts to a handwritten letter from Mr. Darcy. Elizabeth runs through muddy paths, there is lingered eye contact through horse-drawn carriages and a glimpse at the pair dancing at a ball. The final image is of Mr. Darcy sitting atop his horse staring out at what one can only assume is the direction of Elizabeth.
Bestselling author Dolly Alderton has adapted Austen’s novel for the screen while Heartstopper director Euros Lyn is helming the series.
In addition to Corrin and Lowden, the show’s cast includes Olivia Colman, Rufus Sewell, Freya Mavor, Jamie Demetriou, Daryl McCormack, Rhea Norwood, Siena Kelly and Louis Partridge.
“Once in a generation, a group of people get to retell this wonderful story and I feel very lucky that I get to be a part of it. Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is the blueprint for romantic comedy – it has been a joy to delve back into its pages to find both familiar and fresh ways of bringing this beloved book to life,” Alderton said in a statement originally shared in July 2025.
