Shane Gillis

A backlash has been brewing against comedians joining the Riyadh Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia, accusing them of profiting from a totalitarian regime. 

Comedian Shane Gillis trolled everyone during his ESPY Awards opening monologue on Wednesday night, from Caitlin Clark to Jeffrey Epstein.

Bud Light pitchman and Netflix comedy special star Shane Gillis hosted “Saturday Night Live” for the second time in as many years — five years after NBC hired then fired him (over “offensive” jokes) from the sketch comedy show — and lampooned Joe Biden’s “dead face,” said he likes President Donald Trump’s “Gulf of America,” and push to purchase Greenland and told the SNL audience “Look, I get it. You guys are pretty liberal here.” 

Shane Gillis returned to his well-worn impression of former President Donald Trump on the latest outing of  “Saturday Night Live” in a fake movie trailer centered on Trump’s recently released line of sneakers.

Stand-up comedian Shane Gillis had been hired as a cast member for Season 45 of Saturday Night Live, then was fired in late 2019 before the season began. Now he is set to guest host the show.

Comedian Shane Gillis is the latest right-leaning cultural figure to become a spokesman for Bud Light as the beleaguered beer brand seeks to win back conservatives following its disastrous partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Bud Light partnered with right-leaning comedian Shane Gillis as part of its rebranding effort in the wake of its near-catastrophic partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Comedian Shane Gillis said President Trump getting shot “would be funny to see” in his first stand-up comedy show since he was fired from “Saturday Night Live,” following the surfacing of old jokes where he used slurs against Asians and gays.

“Saturday Night Live” has spent decades airing sketches mocking Asian stereotypes, with Caucasian cast members performing in yellow face and cracking jokes like “probrem” and “what if she no like chicken?”

“Saturday Night Live” alums Norm Macdonald and Robert Schneider have expressed their sympathy with comedian Shane Gillis after he was fired from the NBC comedy show on Monday following the resurfacing of old jokes where he used slurs against Asians and gays.

John Belushi as a Japanese samurai. Julia Sweeney as the gender-ambiguous Pat. “Jane, you ignorant slut.” These memorable Saturday Night Live sketches challenged the boundaries of taste and political correctness to become TV classics. But would they survive today’s cancel culture in which woke identity politics has become the ultimate arbiter of comedy?

In what could be the show’s shortest lived tenure, comedian Shane Gillis has been fired from NBC’s Saturday Night Live after old jokes resurfaced in which the comedian used slurs against Asians and gays.

Only days after Saturday Night Live announced that Shane Gillis had been named as one of its three new cast members, the comedian is apologizing for past comedy acts where he used Asian slurs and jokes about gays and getting into “Muslim Heaven.”
