Shane Gillis delivered an opening monologue on “Saturday Night LIve” over the weekend that most of the show’s left-leaning audience probably didn’t enjoy.
The comedian had something of homecoming while hosting the long-running sketch comedy show Saturday. He was infamously fired in 2019 just days after his casting was announced after racist and homophobic remarks he made on a defunct podcast resurfaced.
Gillis opened his monologue by addressing the elephant in the room ― and did it in the laziest way possible.
“Most of you probably have no idea who I am. I was actually — I was fired from this show a while ago,” Gillis began. “But, you know, don’t look that up, please. If you don’t know who I am, please don’t Google that. It’s fine. Don’t even worry about it.”
