He told jokes that apparently you're not supposed to laugh at anymore.

MSM has attacked him in articles..calling it "his controversial monologue". Even writing, "He’s also made regular appearance on Joe Rogan’s controversial podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience.”



YouTube

I remember when SNL was avant-garde and audiences howled.

He was extremely PG on SNL I thought.

If you want a true measure of how his monologue was look over his shoulders. The two black dudes were chuckling under their breath because they knew it was inappropriate but funny. The two white people over his other shoulder were just disgusted that he was there to begin with.

I ask myself if I want a world with Shane Gillis or Hannah Gadsby as headliners and do everything possible to make the former happen.

Shane owes no apologies. SNL asked him to host. The monologue was very tame, and the “controversial material” wasn’t done during rehearsal, but was cleared by the higher ups who obviously like Shane because they’re not gay arse journalists.

Can this dumbass narrative die already? Shane has said on numerous podcasts that he was cool with both of them throughout the week.

Well his monologue succeeded in that because it wasn't funny.

They can be cool but they both still looked like they had sticks up their asses.

Can you guys stop finding shite to get mad about? Literally everyone I know likes him and it’s people with a wide variety of political views. You can find dumb articles about anything and you’re just taking the bait. You’re seeking out the fringes and then getting mad about what you find.

I’m sure you want to call everyone snowflakes but you can’t handle something you like being called “controversial”.

She changed comedy forever in 2018.

But no one noticed, and comedy went on as usual, in spite of her.

Can we quit pretending anyone is “cancelling” comedians for telling fart and dick jokes? Name one comedian who has been effectively cancelled or relegated from the spotlight. I’ll wait.

There will always be a segment of people who aren't content with enjoying things for what they are. They also require some other segment of people to be upset by the thing that they enjoy. This isn't a rightwing thing or a liberal thing, it's universal.

While you listen to a joke and you're entertained by the delivery or the clever twist, other people need a level of schadenfreude. Shane Gillis and Jon Stewart have their audiences that enjoy them for their humor, but they have major subsets that enjoy them because they piss off other people.

Trust me, there was a large audience that got more enjoyment out of that young female musician's discomfort as she listened to Gillis' monologue than they did from Shane's actual jokes.

What has Jon Lovitz done since he went off on Barak Obama's tax policy in an interview?

All I know is that when I started watching your clip I tried to figure out why they had a little kid playing guitar on SNL.

Apparently that's Maddie Rice, and she's at least 30 years old. Which led me down a rabbit hole of this video where she gives advice during an interview:

Facebook video, FYI

She looks VERY young in that video.
