The Death and Resurrection of Our Comic and Savior, Shane Gillis
Shane Gillis is a comedian who gained national attention in 2019 after being announced as a new cast member on Saturday Night Live (SNL). However, just days after the announcement, a video surfaced online of Gillis using racist and homophobic slurs during a podcast appearance. As a result, he was promptly fired from SNL.
Despite the controversy, Gillis did not fade away into obscurity. He continued to perform stand-up comedy and made several high-profile podcast appearances, including on the Joe Rogan Experience and Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast (which he co-hosts with fellow comedian Matt McCusker).
Gillis has also found success with his sketch comedy group, Gilly and Keeves, which he co-created with McCusker. The group's sketches often feature off-color humor and satirical takes on pop culture and current events.
In the years since his SNL firing, Gillis has risen to become one of the top comedians in the world, selling out shows across the country and gaining a dedicated fanbase. He has continued to court controversy with his unapologetic brand of humor, but has also faced criticism for jokes that some see as offensive or insensitive.
Despite the controversy surrounding him, Gillis remains a prolific performer and has shown no signs of slowing down. His rise from a relatively unknown comedian to a household name in the comedy world is a testament to the power of persistence and a reminder that controversy can sometimes be a stepping stone to success.
