The Quinn Hughes post-gold-medal press tour is getting a massive spot this weekend.
Following his Olympic win with Team USA, the blueliner is set to make an appearance on Saturday Night Live and Jimmy Fallon on Monday, as announced on Thursday night's Minnesota Wild broadcast.
Hughes will make his appearance alongside guest host Connor Storrie, one of the stars of 'Heated Rivalry,' a breakout Canadian sports romance show centred around hockey.
Athletes appearing on the late-night comedy show is nothing new. Superstars like Michael Phelps, LeBron James, Tom Brady, and even Wayne Gretzky in 1989 have gotten star roles on the weekly series.
The last athlete to host the show was Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in 2023.
While his role in Saturday's episode is still unknown, he's unlikely to have a starring role as those previous hosts had — considering the lack of prep time while Hughes is busy playing hockey — and instead may just make a cameo in a skit.
