Shane Gillis
A rep for the hit NBC show said after execs talked with Shane, they've decided he will NOT be joining 'SNL' for the new season. The rep says,"We want SNL to have a variety of voices and points of view within the show, and we hired Shane on the strength of his talent as comedian and his impressive audition for SNL."
As we've reported ... Shane has been under fire for the past few days for using several racial slurs against Asians in a resurfaced podcast he participated in. According to reports, that was just one example of him hurling racial epithets against Asians. Welp ... looks like the kumbaya approach wasn't cutting it for NBC. They just cut bait and ate a little crow doing it.
I haven’t watched snl in about 4 years 😁
Hope he thanks TMZ properly
😯
He didn’t mention that most of the Anti-Asian slurs come from other Asians and other ethic groups. Not so much from whites. I’ve been around, I’ve seen it first hand. That’s probably why he’s more forgiving towards a white person such as a comedian. But it’s okay to trash Trump?
Lmao idk if it’s this country that is so sensitive and vulnerable or just the percentage on Twitter that are so hurt about everything
nbcsnl are cowards.
It wasn’t jokes though. Why are you reporting it as “jokes”? Did you you even watch the podcast? It was a conversation. Two racists saying lots of really hateful things about the Chinese community. It was disgusting. ShaneGillis racistjokes
Say no to racisme
Perhaps siriusxm may hire Mr. Gillis to do a show - racist Asian humor appears to be acceptable over there! Howard100
What a joke
This guy didn't lose his job ......
I don’t think the guy is racist. I viewed the podcast and I was waiting for the jokes. But there wasn’t any, I really was rooting for him.
By today’s standards Steve Martin would’ve been banned from nbcsnl for being in The Jerk. For the kids who don’t know what I’m talking about, go to your safe space to watch that movie. SNL
SNL
As he should be- hot gábagè
For some reason,comedians, who by trade are meant to push the envelope and think about subjects in a humorous way...are held to a much higher standard than the President of The United States. Just sayin
They are comedians get over it......might as well fire all of them
SNL is so woke and so unfunny.
You’re a comedian, sorry ass world we live in
So Lorne & his team never watched/listened to the Secret Podcast prior to this 'outrage'. I'll bet that goes for 99% of people who claim to be triggered or offended. What's really offensive is censorship. Who's next, Eddie Murphy? Shameful!
Are they really “jokes” when theyre not funny and he seemed to just be going on a rant of sorts?
Which means he'll either be in Comedy Central or have a Netflix special
The dude just isn't funny. Nothing to be sad about.
Racial context aside, it just isn't funny... Ofcourse the other idiot hasn't the smarts to realise that US food giant McDonalds also use chemicals to make their food taste 'delicious'.
Just finished listening to this NON OFFENSIVE repartee! JEEZE, this country has totally gone “PC” CRAZY 🤪🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Did he say I'm looking for GI that owes my sister $50 oh wait that jokes already been done By an Asian
Cowards bowing to a small, loud minority. A show that already hasn't been funny or interesting for a decade or more now bows to hecklers.
I'll save my outrage for something that doesn't have to do with someone's view on a food. Thanks.
Now he is nuclear, see you in midwest strip mall comedy clubs from now on Shane. Hate is no joke
But yet they are still racist against Trump. SNL sucks!
I remember a time long, long ago when we weren't sensitive and it was up to the individual to decide if we liked a comedian or not. Now we are told which ones and what content we should be laughing at. I don't watch SNL anyway anymore so his firing means nothing to me.
Lol fuck sake might as well ban any comedian from the 70s- mid 90s
I remember when SNL was FUNNY.
This is exactly why SNL sucks these days. When was the last time they were relevant or entertaining? 20 years ago? I don’t know who this guy is, but I know this is ridiculous. This is why the best comedians in the world, don’t have a thing to do with SNL
So... is this a bad thing?
Russian robots going brazyyyyy
Good.
Him and Matt (Riff) Rife joining forces for a Can't Fire Ourselves comedy tour.
He looks like THAT and has the audacity to be racist. I have to laugh 🤡

We’ve gone from Don Rickles to this. This culture sucks.
Come on. This will b a sad world if we keep doing away with comedians.
Good he looks as funny as a box of rocks.
