“Saturday Night Live” sparked backlash with its latest episode, but the media storm may die down by the time the series returns to the screen. On October 10, comedian Shane Gillis took the stage as the day’s host and did what he does best: say something controversial. Gillis accidentally dropped an F-bomb during one of the sketches.
Additionally, Gillis said during his opening monologue, “Women dress like now,” in reference to today’s gym shorts culture, sparking outrage from fans and even fellow comedian Dan Levy. Fans criticized NBC and “SNL” producers for featuring the comedian, especially since Gillis was previously fired from “SNL” for offensive comments. NBC and “SNL” have not responded to the backlash, but they may be able to win over audiences with their next host.
Is there a new episode of SNL tonight?
No. “Saturday Night Live” is taking a break this week. “SNL” normally airs three or four weekends in a row before taking a few weeks off. So there will be no episode tonight or next week.
When is SNL coming back?
On October 31, Halloween night, “Saturday Night Live” should return with a new episode. That means two weeks without “Saturday Night Live.” It’s not a good time for the controversial episode to come out right before a hiatus, but maybe the passage of time will make the drama forget.
Who is the SNL host and musical guest on the upcoming live show?
When the show returns for another fall episode, Inde Navarette will host “SNL.” This is Navarette’s first time hosting the show after the summer 2026 hit film “Obsession” catapulted the actor to fame. Navarette, who previously starred in “Superman and Lois,” has received several major opportunities since “Obsession,” such as a role in the MCU’s upcoming “X-Men” film.
Navarette will be joined by Gracie Abrams, a rising pop star who previously starred on “Saturday Night Live.” Abrams released her third album, “Daughter From Hell,” earlier this year.
What time does SNL start?
When “Saturday Night Live” returns, the show will begin at exactly 11:30 p.m. ET. It’s 10:30 p.m. CT or 8:30 p.m. PT.
Where can I watch SNL?
You can watch live episodes of “SNL” on NBC broadcast or streamed live on Peacock. But if you miss an episode, the full episode can be watched on Peacock’s streaming platform after it goes live on Sunday. Excerpts of the sketches, monologue and musical performances are also uploaded to YouTube.
