With the audience already bursting into laughter, Magliano hung in there, mocking strict U.S. broadcasting rules after Gillis accidentally dropped the F-bomb during a sketch.
Magliano continued: “Last week, SNLcomedian Shane Gillis also caused controversy by dropping the F-bomb. Oh Shane, you have no right to say that, you stupid bastard.

Gillis’ final hosting gig on SNL comes after he hosted in 2024 and 2025, following his removal from the NBC sketch comedy’s star cast days after it was announced in 2019. The decision came in response to resurfaced videos of Gillis mocking Asian accents, in addition to using ethnic and gay slurs.
