Shane Gillis Sets World Record With 76,212 Tickets Sold
Guinness adjudicator Andy Glass certified the tally for Gillis' July 17 show at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field, Variety reported.
- NBC fired Gillis from its 2019 Saturday Night Live cast before his first episode aired.
- Gillis returned to host Saturday Night Live in February 2024, five years after being fired.
- Gillis' Netflix comedy Tires and years of sold-out arena tours followed NBC's rejection.
Why it matters: An audience buying 76,212 tickets is a verdict no network press release can reverse.
