Shane Gillis Really Wants to Be Like 21 Savage in New ‘SNL’ Promo

Shane Gillis is hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend (Feb. 24), and in a series of new promos for the episode, the comedian felt inspired by musical guest 21 Savage’s style.

In one of the clips, Gillis is seen wearing a pair of sunglasses just like 21 Savage is. SNL castmember Kenan Thompson calls him out, noting, “Are we going to talk about the sunglasses? Are you trying to be like 21 Savage?”

While Gillis denies that he’s trying to look like the rapper, he immediately gets excited when 21 Savage tells him he looks “aight.” “Really? Thank you 21,” Gillis gushes, before giving the camera two thumbs up.

Ariana Grande and Kacey Musgraves will both promote their upcoming March album releases by performing on Saturday Night Live next month. Musgraves will join Anyone But You actress Sydney Sweeney when she hosts the March 2 episode, while Grande will join host Josh Brolin on the March 9 episode.

Watch the new promos below. Catch the full episode on Saturday (Feb. 24) at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC, before it streams the next day on Peacock.
