What are family members for, if not to interrupt Saturday Night Live hosts’ monologues — and, in the case of Carey Mulligan’s husband, Marcus Mumford — strum a few chords of their hit late-2000s single? Mulligan made her SNL debut last night as the self-proclaimed “first English person to ever host this show,†and barely got through her requisite Michelle Williams jokes before Mumford (frontman of Mumford & Sons) interrupted, explaining that he left their kids at home with “the Sons.†He breaks out his guitar, despite Mulligan’s pleas not to be “the guy who takes his acoustic guitar out at a party,†(“people love that guy!†Mumford counters). Mulligan eventually relents and lets Mumford onstage to send the audience off to commercial, and the whole thing, while a little predictable, is very sweet and very British.
