“SNL” showrunner Lorne Michaels has said that firing Gillis was not his choice and he was “angry” with NBC’s decision. All hard feelings were buried when Gillis made his official Studio 8H debut last year, hosting the February 25, 2024 episode.

When I hear about comedian Shane Gillis, it’s like when someone talks to me about New England for too long: my eyes glaze over because that is not my business. That is white people’s business to sort out amongst yourselves.

The new episode will air at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC. Those without cable can watch the show for free through FuboTV or DirecTV Stream each offering a free trial to new users. Sling is another option for streaming the show, and promotional offers are available.
