Shane Gillis, Former ‘SNL’ Cast Member Fired for Racist Jokes Will Host Feb. 24 ‘SNL’

I'll definitely be tuning in.

Probably the only show I'll watch this season.

Lorne Michaels does shit to stir things up and ratings.

He's been such a mediocre producer and created such an uneven show for literally decades - NBC should buy the show back from him. He's useless really.

He's fat, gross, and hideous looking - I hope he bombs.

I just love that Lorne is sticking it to Boeing Chang.

Fuck that whiny cunt.

It’s rare when someone can pander in two directions.

I hope Bowen Yang pulls a Nora Dunn and gets fired at the end of the season.

No one watches SNL. Gillis shouldn’t waste his time.

I still think it was a double standard that Melissa Villasenor wasn't fired from SNL due to her history of racist tweets, but this guy was fired.

I hope Lorne gives the entire cast an ultimatum: You MUST attend the Live taping of the show, or you're fired!

He shouldn't let them dictate which people can and cannot host the show.

I think Bowen Yang may be dumb enough to try and pull a Nora Dunn with this situation.

Bowen may want to call-in sick that day:

"... in which Gillis and co-host Matt McCusker made jokes in mock East Asian accents while discussing Chinatown and used the word "chink", an ethnic slur for Chinese people.... In other clips, Gillis and co-host Matt McCusker ranked comedians by race, gender and sexual orientation, which included the use of gay slurs."

I'm sure the posters who HATE Bowen Yang for extremely vague reasons and love this comic who lost a job for talking about "chinks" aren't racist at all.......

R12 Right 😂

And I'm sure you're making up a scenario to fit your dull, pompous behavior, as no one on here has advocated for Shane Gillis and plenty of people have told you specifically why they loathe Bowen Yang, none of it having to do with him being Asian.

But please, continue to pat yourself on the back.

Controversy aside, does his level of fame even merit hosting on SNL?

Why does running an Asian marathon with homosexual men get you fired from SNL, Dorothy?

Is there a Genre for this type of podcast? Straight guys sitting around talking about sports, getting wasted, getting pussy, minorities, gays, action/super hero movies, high school and farts?

Lorne Michaels is such a stupid old bag of shit. I can’t wait till that whole old man bastard comedy contingent drops dead. Except, obviously Larry David who is a god and we’re not good enough for him.

How is this weekly shit show still on the air?

And also Larry Charles.

R18

This is the racist homophobic shitbag that got canned? No way, I don’t believe he’ll be hosting. They’ll find someone else. The cast will protest. Lorne is such an idiot sometimes. Time to retire gramps.

Oh, look at SNL trying to make Nikki Haley happen 🙄

R22 If Haley ends up getting the GOP nod and winning the general election. SNL will probably have to Nasim Pedrad come back and play Haley for awhile before they hire a female Indian American cast member.

Where DO you come up with such startlingly original material? And so funny.

[QUOTE] If Haley ends up getting the GOP nod and winning the general election.

😂 Hailey Bieber has a better shot at the GOP nomination.

Sorry R21.

It's going to happen.

And I'm going to watch.

R23 he’ll never hire anyone Indian. He hates minorities. He barely tolerates women and black people. He’s an old bag of shit.

Right, OP. Name all the hilarious Indians. We’ll wait. I’m sure there’s a list a mile long.

Podcast right after he was canned.

Tiny dick hands. Not surprised.

It's coming up this Saturday!!

Has Bowen Chang boycotted the show yet?

I don't think Bowen has beef with Shane. He follows Shane on instagram.

[quote] I don't think Bowen has beef with Shane. He follows Shane on instagram.

Oh, but he has a problem with Dave Chapelle?

What's the fucking difference?

Dumb cunt.

I'll definitely be tuning in, if for no other reason than just to spite that whiny little bitch Boyang.

I thought he did a good job.

SNL gets like five viewers. lol. Shane can do much better than this crap.

Any relation to Dobie?

r14 anyone who "loathes" Bowan Yang is fucking psychotic in my book, whether they're racist or not. He's such a harmless, shallow C-list celebrity. If you're getting that worked up over Bowan Yang then you should probably check yourself into a mental hospital. You sound like a bitter loser.

And you sound like an unhinged loon, R38. Maybe read back what you just typed.

Bowen is so ugly and unappealing. Particularly his mouth, which looks like animation.

R40 is exactly right.
