Dan Levy Calls Out SNL Host Shane Gillis: ‘A Big Mistake’
- What’s Inside:
- What Dan Levy thought of Shane Gillis’s SNL joke.
- Why it’s causing a stir.
We just saw some buzz about Saturday Night Live, and honestly, it’s got us talking!
Comedian Shane Gillis hosted SNL recently. During his opening monologue, he made a joke about women wearing short shorts to the gym. He called them ‘wh–es’.
Well, Dan Levy, you know, the super stylish guy from Schitt’s Creek, didn’t like that one bit. Not one bit at all.
Levy thought Gillis’s joke was a big mistake. And we kind of get it. When you’re on a huge stage like SNL, the vibe is so important. What you say can land in so many different ways.
It’s a classic case of humor hitting a nerve. We’ve seen similar things happen before, like when Bethany Antonia’s t-shirt got blurred. Sometimes, what seems funny to one person can really upset another.
This whole situation makes us think about the power of words. Especially when they’re broadcast to millions. The aesthetic of comedy should be inclusive, not make people feel bad.
Our Take
Look, comedy is subjective. But as artists ourselves, Sucheta and Arti know that jokes can have a real impact. When a joke punches down or feels mean-spirited, it just doesn’t land right. We hope SNL continues to be a place for laughs that don’t cross the line into making people feel judged or disrespected.
