Monologue
Shane Gillis Stand-Up Monologue - SNL
Shane Gillis jokes about trying hiking and a public gym after deciding to lose weight, then recalls Joe Rogan and Theo Von comparing him to a gas station egg in a sauna. He also revisits the lasting insults delivered by his two older sisters.
Sketch
Cop Talk Show - SNL
A police-hosted talk show turns every interview into an intimidating traffic stop, with an author's address read on air and an artist tased over Altoids. The officers then let an intoxicated guest handle a gun while an AA counselor pleads with the host to attend a meeting.
Sketch
Father-Daughter Song - SNL
A bride's father performs an emotional wedding song that is really a celebration of turning her childhood bedroom into “my room,” complete with arcade machines and drums. His obsession costs him his marriage before black mold in the expanded room sends him into hallucinations.
Sketch
Sneakers - SNL
A mock History documentary imagines the invention of canvas shoes with rubber soles, which executives immediately embrace as silent “sneakers” for creeping around unseen. The inventor's practical Run-Wells name loses out as the board's increasingly sinister uses define the product.
Sketch
Green Eggs & Ham - SNL
A protective son interrupts Sam-I-Am's campaign to feed his elderly father green eggs and ham, warning that his confused dad has fallen for scams before. After throwing his son out, the father tastes the dish and is immediately asked for Walmart gift cards.
Sketch
Upfront Heating & Air Conditioning - SNL
An Upfront Heating & Air Conditioning ad promises honesty by warning that its repair crew will bring injuries, smoking, window-peeping, arguments and chaos into the customer's home. The company saves its final surprise for payment, which must be sent by Venmo and labeled as pizza.
Sketch
Chess Tournament - SNL
A quarrelsome couple turns their son’s chess tournament into a raunchy battle over old romantic memories, with Shane Gillis playing the father whose exaggerated competitiveness keeps derailing the match.
Sketch
Saying Goodbye - SNL
A man tries to justify leaving his dying mother for a Jelly Roll concert at the Sphere, while a hospice nurse, Jelly Roll, and Cool Jesus encourage his selfish plan. The sketch turns concert excitement and family guilt into an escalating absurdist farce.
