SNL Cast Continues Recovery After Anniversary in Shane Gillis’s Latest Promo
SNL’s 50th-anniversary special was a night to remember, but as history has shown us, the aftermath of such an epic event can be challenging. In a new promo for Saturday Night Live’s upcoming episode hosted by Shane Gillis, it’s clear that the cast is still feeling the effects of the milestone celebration.
In the video, cast member Ashley Padilla guides Gillis around the SNL offices, inquiring about his excitement to host. Gillis responds with a mix of nerves and enthusiasm, expressing concern that his colleagues may still be recovering from the 50th anniversary festivities. This worry is not unfounded, as evidenced by Michael Longfellow, who is depicted snoring on a couch in a bathrobe – a clear sign of a lingering hangover.
The comedic chaos continues as Mikey Day enters the scene wearing Sarah Sherman’s vibrant attire, complete with a quirky piano keys tie. Gillis humorously points out the wardrobe mix-up, adding to the post-celebration shenanigans. The aftermath of the party is further revealed as the Please Don’t Destroy comedians sit drained in their tuxedos, unable to distinguish one another. A lighthearted exchange ensues, with Gillis playfully teasing the group as they struggle to identify each other.
Even Padilla, Gillis’s tour guide, is not immune to the post-celebration struggles, as she is depicted receiving IV hydration therapy to combat the effects of the long night. The hangover woes are further highlighted by Emil Wakim’s regrettable decision to get a tattoo of SNL creator Lorne Michaels on his neck, proving that poor choices were made in the aftermath of the anniversary event.
Despite the lingering effects of the celebration, Gillis is set to host the March 1 episode of SNL. This marks his second time hosting the show in just over a year, following his debut in 2024. The upcoming episode will feature Gillis as host, with singer Tate McRae returning as the musical guest.
The promo for Shane Gillis’s SNL episode captures the humorous chaos and aftermath of a monumental event like the show’s 50th anniversary celebration. As the cast struggles to recover from the festivities, viewers can anticipate more comedic moments and entertaining sketches in the upcoming episode. With Gillis at the helm, the SNL cast is sure to deliver an unforgettable and laughter-filled show.
