MAGA-Friendly ‘SNL’ Host Walks Off Show Early in Unaired Footage: Shane Gillis’ abrupt exit drew comparisons to country star Morgan Wallen’s infamous 2025 ...

Key FactsShane Gillis Leaves SNL Stage in Unreleased Goodnights Footage

Oct 12, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: thedailybeast.com

A clip obtained by LateNighter, absent from the broadcast, shows Gillis leaving through center stage before the goodbyes conclude.

Gillis’ third SNL hosting appearance followed his 2019 firing before debut, after clips resurfaced showing racist, homophobic, and other offensive language.

Dan Levy criticized the comments, described as misogynistic, about women’s gym clothing in a subsequent video posted on Instagram.

The departure recalled Morgan Wallen’s similar March 2025 walk-off, although Gillis exchanged pleasantries with several cast members beforehand.

Women wearing short shorts to the gym does not make them wh---s. It makes the men calling them ‘wh---s,’ misogynists. There’s a difference there.
— Dan Levy, Schitt’s Creek creator and star, in a video posted to Instagram.
