‘Saturday Night Live UK’ Calls Shane Gillis a ‘Stupid F***ing C***’ in Brutal Swipe at ‘SNL’ US Host
Weekend Update UK mocked Gillis for his gym-clothing joke and live F-bomb, as the controversy drew criticism from other comedians.
On Saturday, October 17, Weekend Update UK co-host Ania Magliano roasted American comedian Shane Gillis for his controversial Saturday Night Live monologue, mocking his comments about women's gym attire and his accidental F-bomb.
Gillis drew significant backlash after hosting Saturday Night Live on October 10, where he claimed he "didn't know women dressed like whores now" regarding short shorts, prompting widespread condemnation from viewers and fellow comedians.
Schitt's Creek star Dan Levy argued that men objectifying women contributes to a culture of sexual assault, while former SNL cast member Ego Nwodim responded by sharing a gym photo captioned "Whore reporting for duty."
Magliano utilized the show's looser censorship standards to critique Gillis, joking that gym shorts protect women from being upskirted but make them "vulnerable to something much worse," while highlighting his accidental F-bomb.
Saturday's broadcast featured a crossover where U.S. cast member James Austin Johnson reprised his impression of President Donald Trump, highlighting the edgy critical nature SNL UK has established during its second series.
