  "account": "Recent Saturday Night Live host Shane Gillis faced significant criticism for his monologue, which included a comment about women dressing \"like whores now\" while at the gym. This insensitive remark drew backlash from various members of the Hollywood community and was even criticized by at least one cast member of SNL. In response, SNL UK has decided to join the conversation, with Ania Magliano taking a shot at Gillis during their latest \"Weekend Update\" segment. \"A ride operator at Munich Oktoberfest was praised for giving out free cycling shorts to female riders,\" Magliano began, highlighting the irony of Gillis' comments. \"Wearing the gym shorts will protect women from being upskirted, but it does make them vulnerable to something much worse…\" Magliano continued, using the F-word herself as she ridiculed Gillis for his language during his SNL hosting gig. \"Last week on SNL, comedian Shane Gillis also caused controversy by dropping the F-bomb. Oh, Shane, you’re not allowed to say that, you stupid fucking cunt.\" The UK version of \"Saturday Night Live\" has taken aim at Gillis following his controversial monologue in the US.",
