49ers’ Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle attend ‘SNL’ to watch Shane Gillis host

Some 49ers players made the most of their 12 hours in New York.

тιԍнт end George Kittle, running back Christian McCaffrey, and fullback Kyle Juszczyk attended the live taping of “Saturday Night Live” at Rockefeller Center, as seen in pH๏τos posted to Kittle’s Instagram page.

The NFL stars were on hand to support their friend, comedian Shane Gillis, as he served as the host of the March 1 episode.

 

 

“12 hours in New York, it’s Saturday night live!!!” Kittle wrote, including behind-the-scenes snapsH๏τs at the “SNL” set.

Gillis, who’s a diehard Eagles fan, sported a Philadelphia hat as he posed with the 49ers stars on the iconic stage at Studio H.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kittle also shared pH๏τos with Fox Sports broadcaster Greg Olsen and actor Mike Myers, who played Elon Musk in the episode.

Kittle was wearing a “Wayne’s World” T-shirt as Myers — who starred in the 1992 film that was a spin-off of the “SNL” skit — pointed to it.

Juszczyk called it “A night for the books” in the comments.

 

 

Gillis has been friends with NFL players for years.

The comedian and his girlfriend, Grace Brᴀssel, attended McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo’s wedding in Rhode Island in June 2024.

The 49ers failed to make the playoffs this past season for the first time since 2020.

Their once-stacked roster — which helped secure two straight NFC West тιтles — was depleted with injuries throughout the season, including McCaffrey, whose season ended with a PCL sprain in his right knee during a Week 13 loss to the Bills.
