Quinn Hughes is swiftly becoming a name to remember across the United States. The former captain of the Vancouver Canucks made waves by leading Team USA to a historic gold medal at the Olympics, breaking a 46-year drought. His standout performance has catapulted him into the national spotlight, with fans enjoying his light-hearted, albeit slightly tipsy, appearance on NBC.
But the Hughes buzz isn't fading anytime soon. According to reports, he's set to grace the stages of Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Hughes will make his SNL debut in New York City this Saturday, then jet off to Minnesota to play for the Wild on Sunday. He’s scheduled to return to New York on Monday for his appearance on The Tonight Show.
Joining Quinn on The Tonight Show will be his brother Jack, who clinched the gold with an overtime winner. There’s even talk of Jack joining Quinn on SNL, though it hinges on the New Jersey Devils' travel schedule after their game against the St. Louis Blues.
With all the excitement and travel, Hughes might be in need of a breather soon. However, rest will have to wait, as he and his Wild teammates are gearing up for a hopeful playoff run this spring.
