Shane Gillis addresses his controversial question Saturday evening live monologue, and where else would he do it The Joe Rogan Experience? Gillis called women who wear workout clothes “whores” at the gym in a move that angered many. On the podcast, Gillis said SNL was not responsible for his words. “Do not defend SNLthey don’t approve of it. I mean, they could shut it down,” he said. “But you don’t write your set and give it to them.” Obviously, non-comedians have their monologue written by staff, with one notable exception being Taylor Swift. She wrote her monologue song in 2009. The SNL The staff asked Gillis for the gist of his remarks, and he thought it would be uncontroversial. “The funny thing is, they were like, ‘What’s going on with the monologue?'” he said on Rogan. “And I was like, ‘It’s not great but I’m not saying anything bad.'”
Gillis didn’t think fucking phobia was his best work. Gillis called it “solid C minus a monologue” on the podcast, “but I promise there’s no controversy. I’m calling myself fat for 10 fucking minutes. That’s it.'” But that wasn’t it, and Gillis angered everyone from Dan Levy to SNL UK. This is a very valuable lesson for artists: aim for the B plus. On the plus side, people completely forgot that he said “fuck” live on NBC.
