for its 45th season, the network has fired the comedian after past derogatory and racist remarks he made on his podcast were made public. "After talking with Shane Gillis, we have decided that he will not be joining SNL," a spokesperson on behalf ofcreator Lorne Michaels said."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 a comedian and his impressive audition for SNL."
The spokesperson added,"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 vetting process was not up to our standard."
