Shane Gillis Criticized for Controversial SNL Monologue
Shane Gillis returned to host Saturday Night Live, where his monologue sparked controversy due to a mix of political humor and cultural commentary. He joked about both Donald Trump and Joe Biden, making light of their personalities and political antics, but struggled to connect with the predominantly liberal audience, which prompted him to acknowledge their politics with a quip about feeling 'powerful like a Sith.' The comedian faced backlash for a racially charged joke about white men asking their partners about past relationships with Black men, which drew a groan from the crowd. He also made comments about Ken Burns' Civil War documentary, calling it 'kryptonite to women' and referencing Bill Cosby in a manner that many found inappropriate. This performance comes after Gillis' controversial past, having been fired from SNL in 2019 for racist remarks, raising questions about the limits of comedy and sensitivity in today's cultural climate. Despite some laughs, the overall reception was mixed, with many viewers expressing disappointment with his delivery and content.
