Shane Gillis Deals With the ‘SNL’ 50th Anniversary Hangover in Hilarious New Promo

Shane Gillis is pumped to host Saturday Night Live for the second time this weekend, but the cast members are still in recovery.

In a new promo for the upcoming episode, Gillis walks backstage at Studio 8H with cast member Ashley Padilla, who asks how the comedian is feeling about his upcoming hosting gig. “I’m excited, I’m just worried everyone is going to be hungover still from the 50th,” Gillis replies, in reference to the slew of celebrations that took place earlier this month to commemorate SNL‘s 50th anniversary, concluding with a major, star-studded SNL50: The Anniversary Special telecast in New York City on Feb. 16.

“What makes you say that?” Padilla asks confused, before Gillis points out a slew of struggling cast members, including Michael Longfellow passed out in a robe on the couch, Mikey Day wearing Sarah Silverman’s clothes and the Please Don’t Destroy guys looking disheveled in their suits from the event. Even Padilla herself gets an IV to up her hydration after a night of drinking.

Emil Wakim then walks in asking for a “good tattoo removal guy,” before showing his new “mistake”: ink of Lorne Michaels’ face on his neck. “I thought he would like it,” Wakim says sheepishly, before Gillis responds, “He’s not going to like that. He’s going to fire you.”

Gillis will be hosting this weekend’s episode with Tate McRae as the musical guest. Watch the promo below, and catch the full Saturday Night Live episode on March 1 at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC, before it begins streaming on Peacock.
