A little less than four and a half years after being hired, and then quickly fired from SNL over the use of a racial slur in a 2018 YouTube video, comedian Shane Gillis will be making his way to 30 Rock to host the venerable late-night series. An actor and writer, in addition to a stand-up, Gillis was set to appear as a new featured player on SNL before a video resurfaced in which he used a racial slur against Asians, leading to public outcry.
