Shane Gillis Hosts 'SNL' With Rosalía as Musical Guest, Monologue Draws Mixed Reviews

Shane Gillis returned to host Saturday Night Live for the third time on Oct. 10, with Rosalía serving as musical guest for the second time. The episode, the third of season 52, aired live on NBC at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT, according to Billboard.

Gillis, the comedian and Tires star, opened the show with a monologue about needing to lose weight and being miserable while hiking, and trying to be unthreatening to women. "I tried to go to a public gym. Going to..." he said, trailing off, according to Variety. The outlet described the set as "meandering" and noted he wore a matching black T-shirt and pants.

Deadline reported that Gillis delivered several on-brand sketches with his signature everyman humor, but no water cooler moments worth meme-ifying. The review said his third hosting stint was saved by cast newbie Grace Reiter.

“In his third time hosting Saturday Night Live, Shane Gillis isn’t making the case for a triumphant return to the cast.”
