Shane Gillis SNL Return Sparks Criticism Over Monologue

Shane Gillis hosted Saturday Night Live on 11 October 2026, seven years after being fired from the show in 2019. His opening monologue drew immediate criticism from viewers who called jokes about women offensive and sexist. Critics at Variety and Vulture described the monologue as a bomb.

A Dr. Seuss-inspired sketch during the episode featured an on-air mistake, and Gillis later apologised. The Guardian reported the show extended what it called a disappointing stretch of shows for the season.
