  "account": "Saturday Night Live's host Shane Gillis inadvertently used a profane word during a Dr. Seuss-themed skit on the show. The comedian portrayed a son attempting to shield his elderly father from the relentless Sam-I-Am, played by Andrew Dismukes. Gillis' character questioned Sam's motives, asking why he kept pestering his father, who seemed confused. Mikey Day, who portrayed the elderly father, didn't shy away from the awkward moment. He referred to Gillis as a \"loser son\" who worked at Jimmy John's, drawing attention to the slip-up. Despite the unexpected language, Day played it off well, incorporating the slip into the skit's humor.",
