Gillis is funny.

I am of the opinion that if you are a comedian for a living, you should never be punished for saying offensive shit if its part of a joke.

Meh

"In a clip from a 2018 episode of his "Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast," the comedian made derogatory remarks about Asians while chatting with comedian co-host Matt McCusker.

"Chinatown’s (expletive) nuts," Gillis said. "Let the (expletive) live there," he added, using a racial slur.

Gillis posted an apology to Twitter late Thursday, saying he "pushes boundaries" and "sometimes miss(es)." But the backlash was severe, others found more questionable comments and 'SNL' producers drew criticism for not surfacing Gillis' views before hiring him."

Seemed amicable to him apparently:
"After Michaels issued his statement, Gillis boasted he is "a comedian who was funny enough" to get the job in the first place. "Of course I wanted to prove myself at SNL, but realize it would have been too much of a distraction," he wrote on Twitter. "I respect the decision they made. I'm honestly grateful for the opportunity. I was always a mad tv guy anyway," he added, referring to Fox's onetime rival sketch-comedy series."

What came next was a perfect example of left wing cancel culture.

I think Gillis is funny and a shame he did not make the show, but probably worked out better for him.
I will make life a lot easier on you, both side are full of idiots, and once you reach that point, it gets harder for rage porn peddlers to keep you enraged.
I think the MAGA wing of the GOP are fucking morons and I think the commie, 105 gender wing of the Left are fucking morons as well.
It is dumb to cancel a comedian, song or even a TV show. The best way is to dont consume it.
MAGA fans will throw a beer can at you if you make fun of Dear Leader.

That podcast is hosted by 2 comedians. It's a comedy podcast.

I don't judge people if they don't want to watch or do not find it funny - that is 100% fair. Everyone has different tastes and find different things funny.

There is no chance the actual decision was actually amicable though - he was just being classy on his way out the door. At the time that was his big break - no one envisioned him becoming as big as he did over the next few years.

Think of him as one of those hair metal bands you thought were long dead, but then read that they still make millions dollars on the "Dinosaurs of Rock" tours, that still sell out stadiums around the world.

Yeah but in all fairness all Women comedians need shit thrown at them but hopefully they threw that Karen that threw the can at her right on her face.

Not a left/right thing

Black comedian had half of his audience walk out due to a George Floyd joke

There’s overly sensitive people… sign of the times I guess

Miss this…



Bush embracing Carveys over the top impression of him

Bush Sr was underrated

Shane and Luis are about as funny as a case of herpes.

I don't care about politics so that has fuck all to do with my opinion.
