One of the biggest names in stand-up is returning to Studio 8H yet again.
Comedian Shane Gillis hosts Saturday Night Live on October 10, with musical guest Rosalía.
The polarizing Tires star, 38, will headline SNL for a third time after mending his relationship with the sketch comedy show.
Gillis was originally tabbed to join the SNL cast for Season 45 but was dropped before the season began amid heavy public backlash stemming from past offensive remarks. Away from the show, he soared in popularity through independent stand-up and Netflix specials — and was later invited back to host in Season 49.
He addressed the 800-pound gorilla in his opening monologue, joking, “Don’t look that up — please. If you don’t know who I am, please don’t Google that.”
Rosalía is hitting the SNL stage for a second time, following the April release of LUX (Complete Works), an expanded digital edition of her 2025 album of the same name. The global pop sensation, 34, made a brief cameo on the show in Season 46 before returning as a first-time musical guest in Season 47.
