In his second time hosting Saturday Night Live, Shane Gillis delivered a stand-up monologue that had the audience in stitches. Gillis kicked off his set by reflecting on the absence of Donald Trump from political debates, reminiscing about the entertainment value he brought to the political stage. He humorously explored Trump’s quirky ideas, like wanting to acquire Greenland, and speculated on the former president’s simplistic understanding of geography.
Gillis then shifted his focus to Joe Biden, highlighting the amusing moments when Biden’s expressions would go blank between teleprompter readings. He also poked fun at the powerful feeling that comes with being liberal, likening it to the allure of the Sith from Star Wars.
In a candid segment, Gillis discussed a peculiar behavior he noticed among white men, humorously admitting his own experiences with awkward questions in interracial dating scenarios. He wrapped up his monologue by sharing his love for historical documentaries, particularly Ken Burns’ “The Civil War.” Gillis hilariously described how the documentary serves as a perfect sleep aid and entertained the audience with his impressions of historian Shelby Foote, who seemed to have a soft spot for the South.
Overall, Shane Gillis’ monologue was a brilliant mix of political satire, personal anecdotes, and historical humor, making for an unforgettable SNL performance.
