Left desperate to bring cancel culture back, starting with Shane Gillis

In 2019, “Saturday Night Live” canned comedian Shane Gillis before he even started. But they keep bringing him back because he’s grown into such a massive star. And he’s a magnet for scolds who live in woke bubbles and resent his success.

Last weekend’s show was no different. He hosted for a third time and in his monologue Gillis made some humorous observations about modern gym culture that ended with him poking fun at himself. It wasn’t very edgy fare but the backlash was predictable.

“I haven’t been to the gym in so long, I didn’t know that women just dress like whores now,” said Gillis, adding, “there’s no other way to describe it. Have you seen the shorts?”

A fact check if I may. Yes, there are many women who go to the gym proudly dressed like ladies of the night. He is correct.

But that wasn’t the joke. It was part of the set up.
