Getting fired from SNL was the best thing that ever happened to Shane. He's blowing up for his standup and it's far better than anything he would have been allowed to do at SNL

[@amphg7647]

Yeah, just look at how crippled/creatively limited Kyle Mooney has been since getting on snl. He may get more money and have a better resume now, but I guarantee he’d be 100x happier with his output if he’d just kept doing his own thing on KZbin or something. Snl is like a comedy death sentence afaic

He was still hired. He got paid his signing contract and whatever he was guaranteed per episode for however many episodes he was cast for. You don’t go to SNL and just wait two weeks for a paycheck. He already cashed the advance and he likely never had to return it. Matter of fact, he mentioned it on LOS directly after it happened. Trust me. He’s fine.

[@matthewjswider]

SmokeKing because he’s a normal human being. Anyone would be upset to lose the opportunity to be on such a legendary platform for comedy. It would be unreal for him to have gone out for it, got it, lost it, and been completely unmoved. It’s an opportunity to put your face on the Mount Rushmore of comedy. While I believe SNL isn’t what it used to be and it’s a flaming bucket of month old diapers, it’s still SNL. That’s something in that world, whether we believe it or not. He’s ultimately more infamous because of it to the cult comedy fan so, it’s a win for us. Let’s just enjoy it.

[@matthewjswider]

SmokeKing if you think he’s racist you’re too stupid to realize that comedy takes context and anything taken out of context can be misconstrued. You’re probably really fun at a comedy show. “/ it was a huge missed opportunity, for SNL to have one of the best young comics alive on their show. It truly could have helped because they haven’t put out something worth laughing at in over a decade.

He left Theo hanging quite a bit and just seemed to wanna take over the show rather than be a quest and banter with the host.

It's crazy because Shane literally does one of the best Trump impersonations that I have ever heard/seen and SNL would have lost their minds writing skits that involved Shane. To be honest they probably would have ruined it though so it's good he's able to do the impersonation in his own way. Because the way he pokes fun at Trump is way better than the way SNL tries to pull it off.

[@chevelle1]

That’s because SNL is a political agenda masked as a comedy skit show. Shane does trump to be funny, not to push politics.

[@Jobother]

They absolutely would’ve overplayed it. Like letting a kid loose in a candy shop

[@Andrew-rz9hc]

Now he’s been on theo’s pod twice and burr produced his first Netflix special that was top ten for a month

[@StillJaded00]

It’s been two years and we know now that this was the best for Shane and his career. However, the toxicity has not swung back and I’m finding hard to believe it will. We always hear how “that’s just how it is, it swings one way then back the other way”, but all this witch hunting, cancel, pc culture, or whatever you want shit has not slowed down. If anything you could argue it’s worse than it was two years ago, or maybe it’s just the same, but it isn’t any better than it was/it hasnt “evened”out”. It’s just the new normal

[@Bonsoirmonamie]

No, it will swing back. But it’s not something fast like you think, and people who say that as if it’s good are idiots. You know what pre Nazi party Germany was like? VERY similar to how we are now. The swing isn’t in a moderation of peoples opinions. It’s violent and dangerous. Momentum builds and eventually something crashes

[@clamtrojan]

Theo's carttoon self behind him😂

[@diddlez2]

"and asians have been here forever"

[@evulclown]

What's funny is he said a slur, but the context was him mocking the type of knuckle dragger who would have said that slur unironically. Talk about a friendly fire incident.

[@AXCZ20]

Bill Burr is one of the best comedian today.

[@Yabuddy650]

Well this aged like fine wine

[@stoptimestudio85]

Bill always had a good way to talk sense into this crazy world. Shane G is so dam funny.

[@wisterV]

Shane Gillis is so much better than anything on commercial television. At the end of the day he answers to no one but himself.

[@jimmybernasconi9000]

"And Asians have been here forever..." lol I laughed

[@art-5464]

Getting fired made him famous.... Working on SNL would have made him being "some guy on the edge of the couch on a Comedy Central roast and nobody knowing his name," the highlight on his imdb page. 2nd place is joke writer for "insert famous person" on SNL.

[@fishies9804]

@sayvar44 set for life?.. an SNL job would have done that.. now he will go back to scraping bar gigs making 50$ a show.. maybe I'm missing something.. that doesn't seem like set for life.

[@fishies9804]

@JASON you may be right.. but I doubt he would agree..

[@danielstack4158]

Yeah Pete Davidson writing a movie with Judd Apatow, he's doing bad.

[@ocan1033]

@sayvar44 And the guy who orchestrated his fall, Seth Simons, is also forever linked with this incident and will have legions of people who remember how he brought this guy down after getting the biggest break of his career.

[@art-5464]

@@yellowbrand That's true... The news just came out when I wrote my comment. Also, the CC roast of Alec Baldwin just aired when I wrote it. On the couch was a current SNL writer, can't remember his name, sitting just far enough to the left not to make it on screen a lot, but he's there, so he can put it on his IMDB. In my experience, when talented & unknown performers/writers get hired as just writers for big productions and do a good job writing, while others perform it and get the credit. Unless you are hired as a cast member, or have previous success elsewhere, most likely you won't get the chance to perform because they risk losing a valuable asset: a good writer. I don't know much about this specific situation, but watching the guy on the roast panel I thought; "If they didn't fire him, Gillis could up just like this guy. Maybe he dodged a bullet"

[@Anonymouscommentor99]

I gave the CCs on for this. KZbin auto subtitles “Shane Gillis”, as “ “Shang Gillis”. Thought it was worth mentioning. I speak Mandarin. In Chinese Shang means “Dawg”. After SNL Shane Gawdeeeem all them haters. You go dude.

Louis' BACK. No Apologies fukers...

Louie did apologize.

When's his next special coming out though

[@John-qq6sb]

The opening question, when he said “gang gang” I felt embarrassed for him

[@Impuhlz]

Honestly I'm happy for Shane- SNL hasn't been funny in like 10 years, and he deserves to get his material out because it's golden

[@jessicaflanders9451]

watcing this september 23 after shane gillis netflix special =) This aged well. Theos " what if shane gillis is supposed to be one of the greatest?

[@ceeport1000]

tell Theo to put Shane on the podcast, please...

[@Moz29]

Your wish came true!

[@cobykerr8940]

Best thing that ever happened to him and now he’s bigger than ever and they’re asking for him to host lmao

[@SouthAfricanAmerica]

4:00 Theo’s “what if he’s supposed to be one of the best comedians ever?” Might have been prophetic…just saw Gillis’s Austin special and him talkin about his heroin sister is as good as any Black comic tryna explain the CRACK epidemic in the Black community. THAT bit in 4 specials will be VERY refined because there are NO good comedians talkin bout the WHITE crack era - opioids - in an empathetic and humanizing way. It’s HIS family and he invited us in to laugh at it. BRILLIANT.

[@LowellUpchurch]

God damn I love this, 4 years later. Who could have called the sling shot that getting fired from SNL was, on top of the rest of his resumé

[@bobb180]

Why are they saying “everyone makes mistakes and shouldn’t be judged on something 15 years ago” all he did was an Asian accent making fun of what the white people down in china town talk like at the Chinese people🤦🏻‍♂️ i think doing someone’s accent is a cheap and sometimes hilarious Harmless joke, if we can’t even do accents anymore then what the fuck can people do to make their friends laugh

[@CypherIsland]

“if we can’t do accents anymore then what the fuck can people do to make their friends laugh” you can actually have jokes

[@user-ip8bw7gt2x]

look into what he actually says Its not even in a comedic way, he was just being a real prick

[@kingt0295]

@@user-ip8bw7gt2x nah dude the context of the joke was making fun of rich white people putting all the Chinese people together, he even did a stereotypical evil rich voice

Hard pill to swallow. Theo is the funniest guy in this room and it’s really not close.

[@thievingpanda]

Funny, Bill Burr gave Shane Gillis a pass but caved into his wife's demands and broke his friendship off with Anthony Cumia.

[@michelobdog8825]

Snl was only great when they had 4 total programming options per hour now it's some sort of nostalgic Stockholm syndrome viewership
