Saturday Night Live on Monday announced that it will no longer bring Shane Gillis aboard as a new cast member for its 45th season, after unearthed video showed him making overtly racist jokes.
“We were not aware of his prior remarks that have surfaced over the past few days. The language he used is offensive, hurtful and unacceptable. We are sorry that we did not see these clips earlier, and that our voting process was not up to our standard.” Gillis’ hiring was announced last week, along with comedians Chloe Fineman and Bowen Yang, who will become the first East Asian cast member in the show’s history. Soon after the announcement—and despite Gillis deleting all of the videos from his podcast’s YouTube channel and all but the most recent episodes from the internet—multiple clips and videos emerged of him making racist and sexist comments.
