Travis Kelce tapped like on SNL’s Instagram video of Shane Gillis’six-minute monologue, and that tiny heart turned into a full-blown debate. The monologue included Gillis saying he hadn’t been to the gym in so long he didn’t realize women just dressed like whores now. The line got laughs in the room and plenty of groans everywhere else.
A source close to Kelce says the like was about supporting a friend and that he’s been a longtime fan of the show. The two do have a connection: Gillis appeared at Kelce’s Tight End University summit back in June. Not everyone found it harmless, though. Dan Levy, Ego Nwodim, and Maren Morris all criticized the monologue, while Bobby Bones defended it on his podcast as pretty funny.
The whole thing lands in the middle of a bigger conversation about comedy, sexism, and how much a public like actually means when you’re dating Taylor Swift. So where do you stand: does hitting like count as an endorsement, or is it just supporting a friend? Sound off in the comments.
