The Trump-fluent stand-up comedian Shane Gillis hosted Saturday Night Live for the third time last weekend. He’s become something of a comedy legend because, after being hired by SNL but before his first episode as a player, he was “canceled” for using various slurs or making ethnic jokes on podcasts. Through hard work on his stand-up set and some YouTube-based sketch comedy, he has become arguably the most popular and relevant stand-up comedian working today.
His monologue on the show on Saturday seemed to fall a little flat with the crowd. After making a joke about how fat he is, and how he’s gone back to the gym, he remarked on women’s exercise clothes. “So women just dress like whores now?”
