Travis Kelce Liked Shane Gillis' Controversial SNL Monologue and the Internet Has Thoughts

Travis Kelce is trending again, and this time it’s not about football or a certain pop star. The NFL star liked NBC’s Instagram video of Shane Gillis’latest SNL monologue, a six-minute set that included a crude joke about women’s gym attire and an uncensored F-bomb that definitely made some living rooms uncomfortable. A source close to Kelce says he was simply supporting a friend, pointing to Gillis’appearance at Kelce’s Tight End University summit back in June.

The reaction was immediate and split. Dan Levy called Gillis a misogynist over the joke, and SNL alum Ego Nwodim mocked the monologue. Radio host Bobby Bones took the opposite lane, defending the bit as comedy doing what comedy does. Meanwhile, Gillis’history with the show, he was fired in 2019 over resurfaced clips, made this hosting stint controversial before he even walked on stage.
