Jenna Bush Hager Calls Out Shane Gillis' SNL Gym Joke as Backlash Grows

Shane Gillis spent part of his SNL monologue this weekend joking that women at the gym“dress like whores,”and the reaction has been anything but quiet. Jenna Bush Hager addressed it head-on during Today with Jenna&Sheinelle, saying the remarks feed into a culture of commenting on women’s bodies. She added that she’d be disgusted if her own husband spoke that way, and co-host Sheinelle Jones said that while she usually gives comedians grace, the word“whore”felt derogatory and mean.

The pushback didn’t stop at the Today table. Actor and comedian Dan Levy and SNL alum Ego Nwodim also criticized the monologue, turning what could have been a one-night joke into a much bigger conversation about comedy’s boundaries.

Not everyone is upset, though. Travis Kelce liked the monologue on Instagram, and radio host Bobby Bones called it“pretty funny,”proving the response is genuinely split. So where do you land: is this fair game for comedy, or did it cross a line? Sound off and let us know.
