With host Connor Storrie (Heated Rivalry) and musical guests Mumford & Sons set to take the stages of Studio 8H this weekend for the long-running late-night sketch comedy and music series' return, NBC's Saturday Night Live shared a look at this week's on-stage promos. Joined by SNL superstar Sarah Sherman, the first promo makes it painfully [BEEP] clear that Storrie needs a bit more media training. Following that, Sherman confesses to an odd connection she feels with Storrie's hit series. Then, Sherman puts the band in a bit of an awkward situation – but not as awkward as Storrie's clown confusion. Finally, Sherman, hoping for a kiss from Storrie, becomes a full-on make-out session – including Mumford & Sons.

Here's a look back at Wednesday night's read-thru – and don't forget that Ryan Gosling (Hail Mary) is returning as host, alongside musical guest Gorillaz, on March 7th, and Harry Styles (Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.) is set to host and be the musical guest on March 14th.

During the midweek sketch, we check in on Storrie speaking with Marcello Hernandez and Ashley Padilla, during which Hernandez compliments Storrie on his Russian accent. When Storrie says that he can do a number of accents, that brings James Austin Johnson onto the scene for an accent duel. It turns out Storrie really can do an impressive run of accents, but the sketch itself takes a twisted turn at the end that Hernandez and Padilla do a nice job of selling:

The SNL Season 51 cast includes Michael Che, Mikey Day, Andrew Dismukes, Chloe Fineman, Marcello Hernandez, James Austin Johnson, Colin Jost, Sarah Sherman, Kenan Thompson, and Bowen Yang, along with current featured players Ashley Padilla and Jane Wickline. Joining them are newcomers Ben Marshall, Tommy Brennan, Jeremy Culhane, Kam Patterson, and Veronika Slowikowska.
