There is a reason that Shane Gillis was fired from Saturday Night Live. And yet, Lorne Michaels has asked him back to host three times.
Yesterday’s appearance might be costly for the boss and NBC. That is because Gillis said “fucking” during a skit that was fucking awful. Actually, everything but Weekend Updated sucked. And most of it was Gillis’ fault.
Hopefully, this is the last time we’ll ever see him.
This season, Saturday Night Live lost Chloe Fineman and Martin Herlih. Today, we found out who will be replacing them for season 52. They are Saidah Belo-Osagie and Grace Reiter.

Saturday Night Live is returning on September 26th, and today we found out who will be hosting the season premiere.
NY Knicks and NBA Champion MVP Jalen Brunson hopes to score a slam dunk as he hosts the 52nd season premiere, with KATSEYE as the musical guest.
The following week, Dakota Johnson will host for the third time, and she will rock out with Turnstile.
Shane Gillis will also host for the third time on October 10th, and Rosalía will be performing for the second time.
Finally, we have all become obsessed with Obsession’s Inde Navarrette. We are not the only ones because Lorne Michaels asked her to host on Halloween. She will be joined by J.J. Abrams’ daughter, Grace, who is back singing for a second time.
There is also a cast update: Martin Herlihy is leaving the variety show after five seasons, according to The Hollywood Reporter. So far, Chloe Fineman and he are the only ones who are not returning for the upcoming season.
We are about two months away from the start of Saturday Night Live’s 52nd season, and today we found out which Not-Ready-For-Primetime-Player is ready for Primetime.
Chloe Fineman, who has become the show’s lead impressionist, announced today that she is leaving the Variety show after seven seasons.
She wrote her parting words on social media: “It’s really hard to leave SNL but it does feel like the right time. I’m going to miss it a lot. But the people who work there are my family and that place is my home, and I know I’ll never be too far away.”
What was your favorite sketch of hers? Are you going to miss her?
Have you ever asked yourself why Will Ferrell is playing drums with the Red Hot Chili Peppers? Or why is Chad Smith starring in Elf?
Are they the same person? Nope! They are just each other’s doppelgangers.
How do I know that? Because yesterday, the drummer took the actor’s Saturday Night Live monologue hostage. And people all over the country were like, “What happened to Will Ferrell?” That was until the Anchorman came out, and we found ourselves seeing double.
Thus proving the edible kicked in. That, and they are two different people!
