00:00I just didn't understand the kerfuffle only because to me I just saw it as what we call
00:05I'll just say it a joke like he didn't when you say jokes you're not literally saying
00:16women are whores you are literally joking. Two SNL legends are coming to Shane Gillis's defense
00:23on Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade the podcast host agreed the backlash
00:29was overblown. That said Carvey who famously played the priggish church lady also admitted
00:35that Studio 8H might not have been the best place to call women whores seeing as most of the audience
00:41is young women. As for Spade who was a favorite in the 90s on Weekend Update he called out Hollywood's
00:47double standard for which topics are seemingly off limits. There's people that say oh don't make fun
00:53of OnlyFans don't make fun of strippers these are sex workers they need to be respected and then
00:58everyone hates Sidney Sweeney and it's like which one is it like you know what I mean let's
01:04let's all decide what we hate and how about we just relax. It's been nearly two weeks since
01:10Gillis's bit first blew up and it seems like everyone has an opinion. Shane Gillis did his
01:15monologue on SNL and the thought for the most part is pretty funny. He just kind of goes at it
01:21gotta respect that he takes chances up there. The debate over Shane Gillis's SNL monologue is
01:26raging on. That was radio star Bobby Bones on his 25 Whistles podcast defending the comedian.
01:32But former Saturday Night Live scene stealer Ego Wodham may be having the last laugh. She trolled
01:38Gillis with a gym selfie saying she's ahem reporting for duty. Her next Instagram story joked getting my
01:4630 grams of protein in after hoeing spelled the French way because she's classy. It was one of many
01:52spicy clapbacks coming for Gillis after his opening monologue on October 10th took aim at female gym
01:59goers who wear skimpy shorts. Also I haven't been to the gym in so long I didn't know women just
02:04dress
02:04like whores now. Those neon they're like the only they're like artificial bait colored. The wrinkles
02:12the wrinkles go like around the cheeks and all combine at the butthole. Backlash was swift.
02:20Country singer Maren Morris said leave my gym short wedgie out of it and flipped him the bird. She also
02:26reposted Schitt's Creek creator Dan Levy's takedown. Women wearing short shorts the gym does not make
02:33them whores. It makes the men calling them whores misogynists. There's a difference there.
02:42Elsewhere on Gillis's third time hosting SNL he accidentally dropped an uncensored f-bomb during a
02:48Dr. Seuss inspired sketch. But he may like green eggs and ham. Bro it's a non-starter. He told me
02:55he said he doesn't. Jeez like him. Whoa!
03:06The gaff was censored in later versions of the show. However SNL may skirt free from any FCC fines
03:12seeing as it airs well past the 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. window which is regulated by the
03:17feds. During his
03:18goodbyes Gillis apologized saying sorry about earlier. And diehard SNL fanatics will remember
03:25when cast member Jenny Slate accidentally dropped an f-bomb herself way back in 2009.
03:30But back to Shane. This is far from his first controversy. In fact earlier this year his roast
03:36jokes rubbed many people the wrong way. Here's what Page Six reported back in May.
03:41It's just everything we know that they're racist, that they're bigots, that they're sexist,
03:46you know, that they think they're like invincible. Did you feel, I mean did you like the s-t they
03:51were saying out there at all? No, I mean it was ick. It was gross. There's no, I don't find
03:57those
03:57jokes to be funny. Jokes about lynching black people or like it, lynching is not a joke, it's not,
04:05that's worse than rape. Chelsea Handler gave withering comments about fellow comedians Shane
04:09Gillis and Tony Hinchcliffe's polarizing jokes. Following Netflix's The Roast of Kevin Hart,
04:15which aired earlier this month. During the latest episode of Dion Cole's Funny Knowing You podcast,
04:21Handler labeled Gillis and Hinchcliffe bigots and specifically called out a joke that roastmaster
04:25Gillis made poking fun at Hart's hype. He said Hart was quote, so short they're gonna have to
04:31lynch him from a bonsai tree. Handler also revealed that Gillis' ex-girlfriends were blowing up her DMs
04:37ahead of the roast with dirt on him. Essentially that he believes himself to be uncancellable,
04:41Gillis was pulled from the Saturday Night Live cast in 2019 ahead of the premiere over racist anti-Asian
04:48jokes that surfaced, but then returned to host the show twice. Since his SNL firing, Gillis landed his
04:55own Netflix show, Tires. Season 3 is coming in August. For Hinchcliffe's part, in 2021 he was dropped by
05:02his agents after this stand-up set in Austin, Texas went viral, where he made racist jokes aimed at the
05:08host, comedian Peng Dang. How about one more time for the filthy little f**king s**t that was just up here?
05:14All you f**king race traders are hooping and hollering. I'm back there watching you puking in a f**king bucket.
05:24Oh, we make it a gunpowder. Oh, you want extra soy sauce. Oh, you borrow money from us, and you
05:30guys are just
05:31eating it up, you f**king s**t.
05:33At the Kevin Hart roast, Hinchcliffe got heat for making a joke about Cheryl Underwood's husband's suicide,
05:38and one about George Floyd. Meanwhile, Gillis raised eyebrows during the special by labeling
05:43Handler a Zionist, and alleging she went to dinner at Jeffrey Epstein's house in 2010. In response,
05:49Handler called out Gillis' anti-Asian reputation. Shane has been accused of being anti-Asian,
05:56which is ironic considering he has the complexion and physique of a steamed dumpling.
06:04The 51-year-old veteran comic is now ripping Gillis and Hinchcliffe's jokes about her at the
06:09roast as just plain lazy. Like, what were they going to say about me? They couldn't say anything other
06:14than that I'm a whore or my age. I think that was the other thing that they went in. And
06:20you're like,
06:20well, okay, those aren't jokes. That's not clever writing. And I knew they would be lazy
06:26because they do that for a living.
