Later in the day, however, a clip from Gillis’s podcast, Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast, was surfaced on Twitter by freelance writer and comedy reporter Seth Simons.
The clips shared on Twitter are from a podcast episode released in September 2018, so unlike other Twitter-comedian controversies involving Trevor Noah and Melissa Villaseñor, which were over old tweets, the resurfaced comments are all fairly new. Also unlike Noah and Villaseñor, Gillis seems to have anticipated that his past remarks would come back to haunt him, because all of the past episodes of Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast have been scrubbed from its YouTube channel.
Hate to break it to you SNL is comedy if the guy is funny who cares - no one is going to pretend this guy is some kind of hero
'vet'? lmfao
Keep it up... PLEASE!!!!!! More censorship... more CancelCulture .. more more more!!! Just until 2020 is over.
It shouldn’t raise any questions. The powers behind SNL have a very checkered ideological history. It’s beyond time that we consider that these decisions are deliberate.
SNL on gays
SNL skit You were saying?
His Doctor gave him a clean bill of health
Once again any word said will be used against you forever
Same thing Twitter was pointing out about Melissa Villaseñor a few years back when she deleted 2000 tweets ...
Equality will never exist if you can’t make fun of minorities. P.S. That’s coming from a Minority.
Alec Baldwin was on SNL a million times. No ones cares.
Look at all you white dorks crying about this headline.
has this tweet been recieved like u thought it would or are u realizing CancelCulture will be fought to the last free speaking person and real comedians.
Does vet its writers for competence? If they do. Some one should let them know u got through.
Remember this?
The left-wing media is just full of losers and social outcasts who live to destroy people more successful than them, especially if they're a white male. You don't get to dictate what's funny, and jokes don't need to be politically 'subversive' or involve 'punching up' either.
“vet”?!? He’s a COMEDIAN 🙄
Do you take great joy in trying to Pearl Harbor his career. He’s a COMEDIAN !!!! Last time I checked SNL is a variety comedy show. Just because you don’t find it funny doesn’t mean it’s not . If you don’t like it turn it off and move on with your day .
They don’t need to. He’s funny, end of “vetting”
Can someone open quote and close quote a racist joke from this guy? No summaries or analysis please. Or a video link.
'Vetted'. Welcome to the dictatorship of the Left.
It’s comedy. Get over it. Find a more news worthy situation to write about.
How can the world spin when a standup comedian got a job on a comedy show after saying things we don’t like. Outraged!
Who fucking cares they’re not going into the CIA.
Yes they found out he’s funny u dream destroying assholes
Left waging full scale jihad against comedians
