Theo ends subjects so funnily akward, but picks up on or changes the subject very professionally keeping the pace. I'm pretty impressed

[@justmcmanus]

He’s so great at this! I think he’s hilarious but find it funny how I love his pod but not his standup.

[@californiarollwithramensea8220]

Getting cancelled and fired from SNL at the dawn of his career is actually perfect. Imagine if he got cancelled now that hes killing it.

[@sore_forey9259]

I’d say he would get cancelled swiftly if he was serving up an uncompromising version of his comedy on some mainstream left wing show. Intent, character, context etc doesn’t come into the equation when the mob comes for you.

Snl messed up. His standup special is better than any snl episode in the last 20 years.

[@youcantshimshamthezimmzamm5712]

I notice with comedians and cancel culture, at least in regards to their shows, doesn’t make much of a difference and could actually benefit them. The people who “cancel” a comedian for something he said aren’t the people who were going to go see their show in the first place

[@peterlohnes1]

Depends. Louis ck lost $15 million when his show and his next year of shows got cancelled. Aziz ansari’s entire career stopped.

[@skaterdude123ify]

Shane Gillis' story is a real lesson on loss. You could look at his situation and go "damn, you lost the job on SNL", but really he couldve entered one of 2 worlds; SNL mainstream bullshit or podcasting with joe rogan and theo and other legends! But when it all happened to Shane he probably thought it was the worst thing and everything would be over, whereas in my opinion he's made it out better than he would have if he had got the job! "This too shall pass"

[@CrustyUgg]

A blessing in disguise for real

[@jirisseveredponytail143]

I gotta agree man. It's nice when they can stay true to themselves and not have to fit in all the boxes required to be on tv

[@zulofu]

I hear people say this a lot but Shane is a real talent no matter what he does. I think if he would of got SNL a lot more people would have seen how talented he was. He could of been the next Farrell or Sandler.

Its crazy, they had a left wing guy making right wingers laugh. I think he was bridging a gap, reminding ppl that we are ppl not right or left. And they were like nope, cant have this guy making both sides happy at the same time. I am a central to right winger, and I literally thought I pulled a muscle last night laughing at him. And he was burning the right, regardless he is hilarious and they messed up getting rid of him.
