The backstory of Shane Gillis's SNL hire is basically a 30 Rock episode come to life.
—because the back story appears to be ripped straight from a 2009 episode of the beloved NBC series.
For those who don't recall, season 3, episode 4 of the show finds Jack Donaghy and Liz Lemon on the hunt for an actor to join the cast of, a sketch comedy. While Liz initially searches in coastal cities like New York and San Francisco, Jack insists they find someone who'll appeal to viewers in middle America, leading them to pay a visit to Kenneth Parcell 's small hometown of Stone Mountain, Georgia.
was also actively looking for a cast member who'd appeal to conservative viewers, in part to offset the show's perceived liberal leanings. In that sense, Gillis seems like a perfect fit—and, in their haste to follow Michaels's orders, producers reportedly breezed through the usual vetting proces. Michaels, it seems, still hadn't brushed up on Gillis by the end of last week; he reportedly took the weekend to study up on the stand-up, which is why he took until Monday to fire him.
