Shane Gillis is facing fresh backlash after his latest Saturday Night Live monologue featured jokes about women’s gym clothes, gay men and Adolf Hitler. The comedian’s remarks drew audible groans from the studio audience, while viewers criticised the monologue online, with particular attention on his description of women who wear tight workout clothes as “whores.”
Gillis returned to host the NBC sketch comedy show for the third time since his controversial 2019 firing. However, his latest appearance has once again put his provocative comedy under scrutiny.
