Shane Gillis is hosting 'Saturday Night Live' after being fired in 2019, when his bigoted remarks surfaced. Has he evolved since or is he simply toning down his language?
The comedian Shane Gillis, who will host “Saturday Night Live” this week, has described himself as racist. That’s the term he uses in a 2017 episode of his podcast, “Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast,” currently the most popular show on Patreon. Chatting with his co-host, Matt McCusker, he recalls a crude impression of a Chinese person that he performed at a Philadelphia comedy theater the previous night. “I like to open with a bad racist joke,” he says. “Make sure everyone knows I suck.
He’s generally steered clear of outright slurs since 2019, but he’s continued using crude Asian accents and pejoratives like “the Japanee” and “the Chinee.” Not only has he referred to Jewish people as “the Jays” and his agent as “my Jew agent,” he’s employed stereotypical Jewish American accents and mocked “retarded Jews.” In 2022, he even participated in an earnest discussion about whether Jewish people control the media.
