Dan Levy criticizes Shane Gillis for comments he makes about women during his Saturday Night Live monologue. Levy says the remarks are misogynist and argues that “more men need to be standing up” against similar content. He also expresses disbelief that such comments can appear on live national television.
Both outlets refer to Gillis’s earlier history on the show and the backlash that follows the weekend monologue. Independent reports that Gillis was fired from SNL in 2019 and cites a specific remark attributed to him, describing women at a gym using a highly offensive slur. Variety similarly focuses on Levy’s reaction and the broader call for public opposition, while describing the backlash the monologue generates.
