Former Saturday Night Live cast member Shane Gillis returned to the show as a weekly host after being fired in 2019.
Gillis opened the show with his monologue where he joked about Down syndrome, the LGBTQ community and other sensitive subjects. Gillis was previously fired from SNL after he was found making racial and homophobic slurs on a podcast in 2018. Gillis apologized on X, known as Twitter at the time.
His return to SNL seemed to stir negative reactions from the current cast and crew. The band members, notably guitarist Maddie Rice, gave Gillis outraged looks during his monologue. Fans say Rice’s expression was of “rage.”
Viewers began posting to X about the situation.
“Man, this woman in the SNL band is staring daggers at Shane Gillis throughout his entire monologue. Just completely and thoroughly displeased,” one user posted.

An involuntary snort of laughter escaped me just as the illicit gay union at the heart of My Policeman hit its most torrid peak. Harry Styles as Tom Burgess, the 1950s British copper who gives the film its title, has snuck off for a few days’ romantic idyll in Venice with his secret lover, urbane museum curator Patrick Hazelwood, played by David Dawson like he’s just stepped out of Brideshead Revisited. Patrick is draped across a hotel bed in what appears to be post-coital bliss, dreamily contemplating the sculptural curves of Tom’s buttocks as he stands smoking naked at the window. In precisely that moment, the choir singing Vivaldi’s “Gloria” explodes in collective euphoria.
It would be nice to think this was some music supervisor’s idea of, ahem, a cheeky joke, to direct a hymn of glorious praise at...
