UK SNL Roasts Gillis' Controversial Monologue
18 Oct
Summary
- UK SNL criticized Shane Gillis' problematic opening monologue.
- Gillis' jokes included misogynistic comments and an f-bomb.
- Comedian Ania Magliano delivered sharp commentary on the controversy.
Last Saturday, "SNL U.K.'s" "Weekend Update" segment turned its critical gaze towards its American counterpart, focusing on comedian Shane Gillis' recent controversial hosting gig. The show did not hold back in its critique of Gillis' performance.
Co-host Ania Magliano led the commentary, targeting Gillis' opening monologue. He had made remarks about women's clothing that were widely considered misogynistic. Magliano humorously contrasted these comments with a fictional scenario involving cycling shorts at Oktoberfest.
Magliano also addressed Gillis' use of the f-bomb, an act that violates NBC's guidelines. She pointed out that "SNL U.K." is permitted to swear on air, delivering a sarcastic and expletive-laden rebuke to Gillis.
