RELATED: SNL Opens with Tribute to Ukraine as Host John Mulaney Enters Five-Timers Club The band — which currently consists of James Murphy, Nancy Whang, Pat Mahoney, Tyler Pope, Al Doyle, and Korey Richey — returned to the NBC stage on Saturday to perform "Thrills" and "Yr City's a Sucker" from their self-titled, debut studio album.
