SNL Midweek: Hernandez, Sherman Check Out Shane Gillis' Monologue

In the following SNL Midweek Sketch, host Shane Gillis gets a chance to workshop his monologue with Marcello Hernandez and Sarah Sherman.

If it's Wednesday, then it must be time for the midweek sketch – which makes sense since there is a new episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live this weekend (with stand-up comedian Shane Gillis and musical guest 21 Savage). In the clip above, Gillis gets a chance to workshop his monologue with SNL stars Marcello Hernandez & Sarah Sherman, and… well… he definitely makes an impression on them. And don't forget that on March 2nd, we have Sydney Sweeney (Anyone But You) hosting, with musical guest Kacey Musgraves. Following that, on March 9th, we have Josh Brolin (Dune 2) hosting, with musical guest Ariana Grande.
