Even Bowen Yang can't control the weather.

The Saturday Night Live alum, 35, was scheduled to present at the 32nd Annual Actors Awards on Sunday, March 1, but plans had to be changed, as Kathryn Hahn and Connor Storrie revealed.

Hahn and Storrie were the first pair to present an award at Sunday's show, and Hahn said they had a "confession" to make before getting down to business.

"First of all, I wasn't even supposed to be presenting this award," Hahn, 52, said. "Right now, I am Bowen Yang. Because he is casually stuck in Antarctica."

Storrie, 26, then gestured to the screen behind them, where a selfie of Yang proving he was in Antarctica was shown. "Yeah, no, that's for real," Hahn said.

"Yeah. Do y'all remember when he played an actual iceberg on SNL?" Storrie then asked, referring to a 2021 sketch where Yang played the iceberg that sunk the Titanic. "I mean, not really," Hahn admitted, and Storrie agreed.

"But anyway, you know what, we are here for it," The Studio star said, before she and Storrie presented the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series to The Diplomat's Keri Russell.

Storrie's appearance at the Actors Awards came just hours after he made his hosting debut on Saturday Night Live, where he was joined by his Heated Rivalry costar Hudson Williams.

Williams, 25, appeared in one sketch with Storrie and helped introduce one of the Mumford & Sons performances. He was also by Storrie's side as the episode ended.

Hahn, on the other hand, was nominated at the awards show for her role in The Studio for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series. Her costar, Catherine O'Hara, won the category.

She was also nominated alongside her castmates for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.
