Shane Gillis Drops F-Bomb on SNL
The comedian apologized as Mikey Day and Andrew Dismukes stayed in character and the sketch kept going after the slip.
- On Saturday, October 10, 2026, host Shane Gillis accidentally dropped an F-bomb during a Green Eggs and Ham sketch on Saturday Night Live while playing an aggressively protective son defending his father.
- The profanity adds another chapter to Gillis's complicated history with Saturday Night Live, where he was fired in 2019 after resurfaced podcast clips featured racist and homophobic remarks.
- Alongside co-stars Mikey Day and Andrew Dismukes, Gillis interrupted the scene as Sam-I-Am pressured his on-screen father to eat green eggs and ham; Day later worked the blunder into the performance.
- Gillis acknowledged the mishap immediately, saying 'Sorry about that' at the end of the sketch, while the rare profanity quickly gained attention on social media.
- Live profanity remains rare on the show; host Sam Rockwell last used the expletive in 2018. Gillis has hosted Saturday Night Live three times since his 2019 dismissal.
