Saturday Night Live Drops Opening Comedy Sketch for Ukraine Tribute

After nearly a month off the air, Saturday Night Live put the comedy aside for a moment with Saturday night's cold open. Typically, the sketch comedy show opens with a skit poking fun at current events. Given the seriousness of recent headlines, the show's producers opted to start the show on a more somber tone, keeping the comedians and host John Mulaney backstage and instead opening with a Ukraine tribute.
