Summary
Kathy Griffin told Page Six on Oct. 13 that Shane Gillis should be free to say what he wants, but she blasted the content and tone of his Oct. 10 Saturday Night Live monologue.
Griffin framed the set as part of a broader wave of comics she derided as “hacks” shaped by podcast culture and Joe Rogan’s influence rather than sharper stand-up traditions.
Dan Levy and SNL alum Ego Nwodim also weighed in on the monologue, extending the backlash beyond Griffin’s comments.
Gillis, 38, already carried SNL baggage from 2019, when the show dropped him after resurfaced clips showed him using derogatory language.
