Shane Gillis discussed the backlash to his October 10 Saturday Night Live monologue on The Joe Rogan Experience, grading it a C minus. In the monologue, which he hosted for NBC, he said women who wear workout clothes at the gym were "dressing like whores," drawing criticism from many celebrities. Gillis said SNL does not approve his monologue in advance, and that when producers asked about it he told them it was "not great but I don't say anything bad." He said he was fired from SNL in 2019 after racial slur clips resurfaced, but that this controversy was harder because he deleted his social media immediately. Several comedians defended him, including David Spade, Dana Carvey and Jimmy Carr, while Maren Morris and Dan Levy were among those who criticized the remarks.
