(NEXSTAR) – The opening segment of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” known as the cold open, is typically dedicated to a skit bringing humor to a recent event. During its most recent episode, “SNL” used its cold open to pay tribute to the people of Ukraine.
Saturday’s episode opened with “SNL” cast members Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong introducing the Ukrainian Chorus Dumka of New York. The group of singers, wearing traditional outfits, sang “Prayer for Ukraine.” In front of them was a table with candles spelling out “Kyiv,” Ukraine’s capital city. Surrounding the table were bouquets of yellow flowers, half of Ukraine’s national colors, which are yellow and blue.
