Great non-apology.

This guy’s picture you got right.

Might be the first new cast member to not reach the first show

The dems are out for blood. You’re dead

Pretty much the epitome of a non-apology. That clown should be fired. nbcsnl needs to get its act together.

He’s happy to apologize to anyone who’s “actually offended”? What a non apology. Here’s the video he doesn’t want you to see. What do you think? Racist?

Somewhere in here there is a r*cist and I’m pretty sure it’s the people who think all Asians look the same, not the guy who told a silly joke.

Whoops you put the wrong asian guy's picture up, do they all look the same to you

That asian guy bombed clusterfest in 2018... I'm just not watching nbcsnl in the future... ComedyCentral is fucking up the 'market'

I spent so much time as a comms advisor explaining how any apology that ends in ', but' followed by an excuse/reason/rationalization is automatically way less credibility. When you say 'but,' it automatically negates/belays/modifies some aspect of what you just said.

SteveHarveyFM used the N word for years in his stand up then became mainstream by putting people down for the same exact thing. Pryor Murphy Carlin Foxx They all used slurs. Quit being bitches people.

A lie. This racist didn’t apologize. “To anyone who’s actually offended”? That’s not an apology, that’s a fu.

Where did he apologize? Delete this. It's incorrect.

This a great start to his career

Guarantee you if Russell Peters did the same jokes, nobody would be looking to get him fired.

That’s not an apology. He’s a racist.

Do y'all even know what an apology is?

'actually'

Gross - fire this guy

There’s politically incorrect humor and there’s flat-out trash talk. Guess what? This guy uses the latter. It’s nothing to do with people “being too sensitive.” More like a tool you use when you can’t write actual humor.

Those were not even jokes... that was what someone's racist uncle says at Thanksgiving.

F this dude.

That wasn't an apology Try again.

'To anyone who's actually offended.” With the dismissive inclusion of the word “actually,” Gillis literally adds insult to injury by implying that anyone who’s offended is being overly ensitive. Also, fuck Gillis’ racist ass for pissing on Bowen Yang’s historic moment.

Who’s Shane Gillis? Never heard of him.

That’s not an apology

nonpoligizes*

That’s … not an apology.

nbcsnl boycottSNL let’s get this hashtag trending!!

Why SNL want a racist?

It's sad comedians can't be funny wo being politically correct. Their COMEDIANS they tell jokes... Sensitive People don't watch em, or pay to see them, because if it's funny I'm laughing at the joke😃 its Not personal.

To anyone who's actually offended..... This is the rare case, where someone is just racist, and it's not funny, nor satirical.

'... to anyone who's actually offended'...?

New law allows 9/11 moment of silence in New York public schoolsMost children attending public school in New York state were not alive on Sept. 11, 2001. But current students and the generations to come now have a way to honor and understand the lives lost on 9/11. Good. Not even sure why this was a problem...it's not something crazy like worshiping a god or something... Will not forget September11 🇺🇸🙏💐
