Embattled stand-up comic Shane Gillis will not be joining Saturday Night Live this fall over the controversy surrounding his past racial slur use. The NBC comedy program just made the announcement, apologizing for any deficiencies in their vetting system that allowed for Gillis to be hired in the first place. “After talking with Shane Gillis, we have decided that he will not be joining SNL,” an SNL spokesperson said on behalf of Lorne Michaels.

“We want SNL to have a variety of voices and points of view within the show, and we hired Shane on the strength of his talent as comedian and his impressive audition for SNL. We were not aware of his prior remarks that have surfaced over the past few days. The language he used is offensive, hurtful and unacceptable. We are sorry that we did not see these clips earlier, and that our vetting process was not up to our standard.”

quote:

After his firing by NBC was announced, Gillis slapped back on Twitter, saying “I was always a Mad TV guy anyway,” referring to SNL‘s one-time Fox rival.

Could you imagine going through life as fake or as pussified as the current left in this country?


It honestly has to be exhausting

I guess they never saw Eddie Murphy's standup act before they hired him.

By “variety of voices and points of view” they mean only humorless liberals.

That's one way to put it.

quote:

Stand-up comic Shane Gillis is heard saying “Chinatown’s f*cking nuts,” on the YouTube video, called Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast. “Let the fricking ch*nks live there.


That's not the smartest thing to say.

But still, the culture of searching for something to be offended by is insufferable. I bet none of these people even cared when he actually said it, but they sure do care now.

The SJW’s sure want to change this into a dull world. Permanently offended and triggered.

So will SNL replace him with a “chink” whatever that term might be?
