Shane Gillis under fire over SNL monologue

On October 12, Shane Gillis sparked controversy with a misogynistic comment during his "Saturday Night Live" monologue, saying he hadn't been to the gym in so long that “women just dress like whores now,” which drew both laughter and groans from the audience. Canadian actor Dan Levy, known for "Schitt's Creek," responded on Instagram by calling out Gillis as a misogynist and urged more men to stand up against such remarks, stating that it creates an environment where women are sexually assaulted. Levy emphasized that this is not merely a women’s issue but an everybody issue because when men objectify women in the media, other men see them as objects too. The controversy follows Gillis's previous 2019 incident where he used a racial slur and was subsequently banned from joining "SNL," though later reinstated.
