Saturday Night Live UK (SNL UK) took aim at its American counterpart in a comedic segment, targeting former U.S. host Shane Gillis for his recent controversial monologue. During the live broadcast on Saturday, co-anchor Ania Magliano launched into an F-bomb in response to Gillis' remarks about women's gym attire being labeled as "whores." The line was not censored due to British television's 9:00 p.m. watershed rule, which permits adult content and profanity after that time.
The segment began with a seemingly innocent human interest story, but Gillis' own jokes about women's sportswear added a satirical twist. Magliano displayed an image of Gillis delivering his controversial monologue from the October 10 episode of "Saturday Night Live" (SNL US) to highlight the host's trouble-making reputation.
Gillis faced backlash after his guest hosting gig, mainly due to the gym outfit joke. Comedians and former "SNL" cast members, such as Dan Levy and Ego Nwodim, mocked Gillis for his comments. However, "Weekend Update" host Michael Che responded more cautiously, stating that comedy is subjective, and people may not find certain jokes funny.
