Shane Gillis will say “live from New York” for a third time tonight.

The standup comedian will return to host “SNL” tonight, Oct. 11, just two months after the third season of his Netflix sitcom “Tires” dropped and on the heels of his appearance in the “Madden” biopic coming to Prime Video in November.

Gillis was infamously hired and then quickly fired from “Saturday Night Live” in 2019 after videos of him using racial slurs resurfaced. Since then, of course, he returned to host the sketch show, and will make his third appearance in four seasons tonight.

Ahead of his third hosting stint tonight, “SNL” released a handful of promos featuring Gillis and cast member Veronika Slowikowska.

In addition to Gillis as host, Spanish popstar Rosalía will be the musical guest. She previously appeared as musical guest in 2022.

Tonight’s episode of “SNL” will air live coast-to-coast at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT, though there may be delays due to college football (as was the case for the season premiere).
