[@chaseedmond7832]

I have seen a few podcasts where Shane addresses this. There was a lot of kick-back (of course) on the Internet, especially about the red-haired guitar player. They have been there through rehearsals, and in the actual dress rehearsal, so it's not new to them. Shane said he doesn't get the kick-back; they were all very polite, and he was glad they didn't laugh JUST because they were on camera. They told him he was funny before/after; that is good enough.

I’m pretty sure if Shane watched this monologue back he would tell you that it was a terrible set. He looks like he got so scared that he had to pull out ole reliable in the down syndrome jokes. His deliveries are off, he doesn’t even wait for laughs on some of the punch lines and some of the jokes are missing a punchline entirely. His dad being a volunteer assistant girls basketball coach is seriously weak. I legit didn’t know that was supposed to be a joke. Theres no setup he literally just introduced his dad and started laughing.

It’s cause he fought the machine and won! This single event is so much bigger than just him hosting SNL. He showed these executives that they aren’t required to “make it” and that they don’t decide what the people like. Shane got fired but then got so big on his own that they couldn’t ignore him. It’s a huge win for everything and everyone non woke.
