SNL host Shane Gillis drops the F-bomb in this Dr. Seuss skit

Saturday Night Live is, as the name suggests, live television, so the occasional flubbed line comes with the territory.

When a slip gets a little more colorful than network censors would like, it’s usually a guest host behind it, though the cast isn’t immune.

Just ask Ego Nwodim, who once got the studio audience to say "s*it" during Weekend Update.

This week, it was host Shane Gillis.

The comedian dropped an accidental f-bomb during a sketch riffing on Dr.

Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham .

In it, Gillis plays a son trying to protect his elderly father (Mikey Day) from Sam-I-Am (Andrew Dismukes), who won’t stop pushing food the old man doesn’t want.

"Is this some kind of money thing?" Gillis asks Sam-I-Am.

"My dad’s older, he gets confused sometimes, so I don’t appreciate you being in his house asking him a million questions." Credit where it’s due to Mikey Day for rolling the mistake into the skit.

As father and son start arguing, Day calls Gillis a loser son who works at "James Johnathan's" (aka Jimmy John's) and points out that “he said a bad word.”
