Shane Gillis Draws Criticism After Second ‘SNL’ Hosting Appearance

Comedian Shane Gillis has faced criticism after his second time hosting Saturday Night Live, known as SNL, this season.

During his opening monologue, Gillis made a joke suggesting a person is 'either gay or Hitler.' The joke drew strong reactions online.

Critics said the joke, along with others, showed signs of misogyny, meaning disrespect toward women. Many viewers felt his comments crossed a line.

Separately, Gillis said a curse word on live television, something known as an F-bomb because it breaks broadcast rules.

The slip happened during a sketch based on Dr. Seuss, the famous children's book author. Live shows usually try to avoid such mistakes.

Gillis later apologized for swearing on air. However, reports suggest that was not the main reason people were upset with him.

Much of the backlash focused on his monologue jokes rather than the accidental curse word.

This is not the first time Gillis has struggled while hosting the show. Commentators say he 'bombed,' meaning his performance did not go well.

SNL is a long-running American comedy program known for sketches, celebrity hosts, and sometimes controversial humor.

The show airs new episodes regularly, often featuring different celebrity hosts each week.

Reaction to Gillis's second hosting stint has sparked wider conversation about his comedy style and its reception by audiences.
