Dan Levy Slams Shane Gillis’ ‘Saturday Night Live’ Monologue: ‘Men Need to Be Defending Women More’

Levy said the joke was misogynistic and warned that objectifying women on live television helps normalize abuse.

  • On Sunday, October 11, actor Dan Levy criticized comedian Shane Gillis for his Saturday Night Live monologue, where Gillis described women at the gym as "whores" during his opening set.
  • During his October 10 hosting set, Gillis described women's gym attire as "neon" shorts that "combine at the butthole," saying, "I didn't know women just dress like whores now."
  • Rejecting the joke, Levy stated, "It makes the men calling them whores misogynists," while arguing that objectification in media leads men to "treat them like objects."
  • Multiple celebrities supported Levy's stance, with Elizabeth Banks writing, "Nailed it," and Hannah Einbinder adding, "Thank you. It was absolutely the most unfunny thing."
  • Gillis's appearance marked his third time hosting Saturday Night Live since being fired in 2019 for making racist and homophobic comments on a podcast.
