Rob Schneider passionately argues for SNL to let Shane Gillis still DO EET! (via toofab)
A third opined: "remember when John Belushi dressed up as an Asian just to cut things up with a samurai sword..? Or when Eddie Murphy used to dress up in white face..? Or when Mike Myers used to dress up as a Chinese guy with a games show that cut people's hands off..? All of it was funny. A great comedian once said 'f**k millennials, you’re a bunch of rats and you don't care.. you only wanna get people in trouble.' And, being a millennial myself, couldn’t agree more.
"After talking with Shane Gillis, we have decided that he will not be joining ‘SNL,'" a spokesperson on behalf of creator Lorne Michaels said in a statement. "We want SNL to have a variety of voices and points of view within the show, and we hired Shane on the strength of his talent as comedian and his impressive audition for SNL."
It’s not okay to say racist things under the guise of comedy. Just because you have a mic in your hand doesn’t make the racist things you say any less racist.Gillis posted his own statement on Twitter shortly afterwards: "It feels ridiculous for comedians to be making serious public statements but here we are. I'm a comedian who was funny enough to get SNL. That can't be taken away.
