'SNL' host Shane Gillis drops uncensored F-bomb during sketch
Page Six • • general
Key Points:
- Shane Gillis accidentally said an F-bomb live during a Dr. Seuss-inspired sketch on "Saturday Night Live," breaking character and causing laughter among the audience and cast.
- The comedian quickly addressed the mistake on-air, apologized during the closing bows, and the profanity was censored in edited versions of the episode online.
- "SNL," rated TV-14 and airing past the 10 p.m. watershed, is generally protected from FCC fines despite the live slip-up.
- Earlier in the show, Gillis faced mixed reactions for a controversial gymwear joke targeting women, which drew both laughs and groans from the audience.
- Gillis was hosting "SNL" for the third time, continuing a history of live broadcast unpredictability, as other hosts like Sabrina Carpenter have also dropped F-bombs during episodes.
