Shane Gillis<\/a> got himself in a little hot water on “Saturday Night Live” after he dropped the F-bomb during a live sketch — and had to apologize for it later.<\/p>\n

The comedian was last night’s host on ‘SNL’ and, while playing the son of Cat in the Hat, played by Mikey Day, Gillis got into a back and forth with Sam I Am, played by Andrew Dismukes. Dismukes was trying to make Gillis’ dad eat green eggs and ham for breakfast, sparking the funny, and accidentally foul-mouthed confrontation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gillis defended his father, saying … \u201cHey, what the hell is wrong with you? My dad said he doesn\u2019t like them.” But Dismukes kept pressing Gillis, prompting Gillis to say, \u201cBro, it\u2019s a non-starter. He said he doesn\u2019t f***ing … Jeez — like ’em.”<\/p>\n

Suddenly, Gillis realized what he had just said on national TV and seemed a bit embarrassed, waving to the crowd before getting back into character.\u00a0Near the end of the sketch, Day brought the moment back up, calling Gillis a loser and slamming him for using a “bad word” before kicking him out of their house.<\/p>\n

Shane Gillis just used his “goodnights” segment to apologize for dropping the f-bomb live on SNL during an earlier sketch<\/p>\n

Although the censors were not fast enough to bleep the F-bomb on live TV, SNL staff later posted a clip of the sketch on social media with the word cut out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gillis ended the sketch with an impromptu apology, saying \u201cSorry about earlier.”<\/p>\n

As you may know, Gillis was famously fired<\/a> as an ‘SNL’ cast member in 2019, just a few days after he was hired, after clips from his old podcast surfaced<\/a> showing him making anti-Asian slurs.<\/p>\n

Yet, since then, Gillis has hosted the show 3 times — and it looks like this latest swearing gaffe is already in the rear view mirror.\u00a0<\/p>\n
