Jenna Bush Hager Calls Out MAGA-Friendly SNL Host Over Monologue
Kristina Bumphrey / Variety via Getty Images Jenna Bush Hager has joined the chorus of outrage over MAGA-friendly comedian Shane Gillis’s opening monologue on Saturday Night Live .
Bush Hager, 44, chimed in about the misogynistic comments Gillis made during his hosting of the NBC sketch show on Saturday, in which he made a distasteful joke about women’s gym clothing.
“I haven’t been to the gym in so long I didn’t know women just dress like wh---s now?” he said.
“I’m sorry, there’s no other way to describe.
Have you seen it? I’ve seen it.
The shorts.
Have you seen the shorts?” He continued, “The shorts.
Have you seen the shorts? Those neon, they’re like artificial bait-colored.
And the wrinkles go around the cheeks and all combined at the butthole.
And don’t look; you’re not allowed to look.
For real, don’t look because they are filming.
I’m in the background of like 10 TikToks right now.” The Today with Jenna and Sheinelle host addressed the comedian’s unsavory remarks during Tuesday’s episode.
“Who is he to comment on women’s bodies?” she told her co-host Sheinelle Jones.
“This perpetuates what is happening in our culture where people are commenting on women’s looks ad nauseam… and it’s not OK." “If we want to be good role models for our children, stop talking about the way women look—period,” she added.
